Jennifer Lopez has officially called it quits with Ben Affleck, filing for divorce just two years after their romantic Georgia wedding, TMZ reports.
In a surprising twist, the pop icon reportedly submitted the paperwork herself, without a lawyer - a rare move in Hollywood divorces. Even more shocking? Sources say the power couple never signed a prenup, potentially setting the stage for a complex financial settlement.
According to court documents, Lopez lists April 26, 2024, as the separation date. The divorce papers were filed on August 20, exactly two years after their lavish wedding celebration, adding a bittersweet note to what should have been an anniversary.
The split comes after weeks of speculation about trouble in paradise. Earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported that a final reconciliation attempt had failed, with sources claiming divorce papers were "finalized but not filed."
Adding fuel to the breakup rumors, People magazine recently reported that Affleck purchased a $20.5 million "bachelor pad" on Lopez's birthday - a move insiders called a "knife in the heart" for the singer.
This marks the end of "Bennifer 2.0," the couple's rekindled romance that captivated fans two decades after their first engagement ended in 2004. Their love story, which began anew in 2021, seemed like a Hollywood fairy tale, complete with a surprise Las Vegas wedding and a star-studded Georgia celebration.
As Hollywood reels from the news, fans are left wondering: What went wrong for this seemingly perfect pair? With no prenup in place, all eyes will be on how the high-profile couple navigates the division of their considerable assets.
