LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially settled their divorce, seeking judicial approval to finalize their separation. According to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the former couple reached their divorce agreement through mediation in September, just a month after Lopez initially filed for divorce in August 2024.
While details regarding the financial aspects remain mostly undisclosed, it has been noted that neither party will receive spousal support from the other. Following the finalization of their divorce, Lopez plans to remove Affleck from her legal name. The couple, who married in July 2022, publicly announced their separation took place in April 2023.
Their relationship has seen an intriguing journey, from a passionate romance in the early 2000s, including notable appearances in films like Gigli and Jersey Girl, to their eventual reunion and marriage two decades later. As they move forward post-divorce, records indicate that the settlement was achieved without lengthy courtroom battles.
Neither Lopez nor Affleck has children together; Lopez shares twins with singer Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Information regarding the settlement was first highlighted by the celebrity news outlet CBS News and further detailed by AP News.
