Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially ended their relationship, finalizing their divorce after two years of marriage. The singer filed for divorce in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had been together for a total of 22 years, with their relationship spanning multiple highs and lows.

Divorce Settlement Details

According to reports, Lopez and Affleck settled their divorce through mediation in September. Per the terms of their split, neither party will pay spousal support to the other. Lopez has requested to have her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, restored and will drop Affleck from her legal name once the divorce is finalized.

Financial details of the settlement were not publicly disclosed, but it is reported that the couple reached an agreement on their $61 million home, which has now been put up for sale.

Rekindled Romance and Second Engagement
