Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Settle Divorce Amicably, No Spousal Support Required

Jan 7, 2025, 06:00 AM

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially settled their divorce, concluding their two-year marriage that began with a wedding in July 2022. The settlement was reached through mediation in September, following Lopez's filing for divorce in August 2024. The couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. Under the terms of the settlement, neither Lopez nor Affleck will pay spousal support to the other, and Lopez will revert to her maiden name once the divorce is finalized. The financial details of their separation were not publicly disclosed, but they have agreed to divide their assets amicably. The couple, famously known as 'Bennifer,' had previously been engaged in the early 2000s but parted ways before reuniting in 2021. They have no children together. Lopez has been married four times previously, and Affleck was previously divorced from Jennifer Garner in 2018.
