Bennifer is no more – again.
Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage.
According to TMZ, she filed the divorce papers in Los Angeles Tuesday — the same day as the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony that took place in Georgia.
Lopez listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024, meaning they haven’t been a couple for nearly four months.
She allegedly didn’t reveal if there’s a prenuptial agreement; however, sources tell TMZ that the exes didn’t have one in place. If that’s the case, everything they’ve made from their short-lived marriage would be deemed community property.
She also waived the right to spousal support and asked the judge to deny Affleck support.
The Post has reached out to Lopez and Affleck’s reps for comment.
They were last photographed together in May. Affleck was noticeably absent from her 55th “Bridgerton”-themed birthday celebrations in the Hamptons in July. They were also not together on the second anniversary of their Vegas wedding that same month.
Just last week, Lopez was spotted at Affleck’s rental home on his 52nd birthday. She danced the night away at Bruno Mars’ concert — without the birthday boy in sight.
Affleck and Lopez were initially together from 2002 to 2004. They ended their first engagement in 2004, and went on to marry and have kids with other people, before rekindling their flame in 2021.
Lopez would reveal their engagement news in her “On the JLo” newsletter.
“We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things,” she told People of their rekindled romance.
“It’s a beautiful outcome that this has happened in this way at this time in our lives where we can really appreciate and celebrate each other and respect each other,” she went on. “We always did, but we have even more of an appreciation because we know that life can take you in different directions.”
She added, “We have been in the game in the public eye long enough to know who we are as people and what really matters and what doesn’t matter. We have kids and we respect each other. … We really live our lives in a way we can be proud of and our kids can be proud of you. We’re just operating from a place of love and respect for everyone in our lives and that is very important to us. We know what the truth is [and] we hold it sacred.”
The Oscar winner and Lopez tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022. They went on to hold a second, more extravagant wedding at Affleck’s home in Riceboro, Georgia, on Aug. 20, 2022.
Affleck has kids Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, 52, who he split from in 2015 after 10 years of marriage.
Lopez is mom to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Their blended family seemed amicable, with Affleck even attending some family events with both Garner and Lopez and their kids.
In Lopez’s Prime Video documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” (now streaming), Affleck said that when they rekindled their relationship, he had one demand.
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,’ ” he said in the film.
But, he gave in.
“Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like you’re going to marry a boat captain and (you’re like), ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’ ”
He added, “We’re just two people with … different approaches, trying to learn to compromise.”
Lopez has posted about Affleck on social media frequently, such as a photo of the couple kissing or cuddling on vacation.
In that same documentary, Lopez said that it was Affleck “who made me believe in myself. Maybe I’m setting myself up to be f–king criticized again, I don’t know,” she said of their reunited romance. “But this is what my heart’s telling me to do. I’m facing the truth. I’m not the same as I was 20 years ago.”
On-screen, her famous friend Jane Fonda also said to Lopez, “I don’t entirely know why, but I feel invested in you and Ben, and I really want this to work. However, this is my concern. Like, it feels too much like you’re trying to prove something instead of just living it. You know, every other photograph is the two of you kissing and the two of you hugging.”
Despite his statement that he was learning to “compromise” with Lopez’s more publicity-friendly lifestyle, Affleck has frequently looked unhappy when he’s accompanied his wife to splashy music industry events. His unenthusiastic demeanor even became a meme at the 2023 Grammys.
The rumors that they were on the rocks began when she attended the 2024 Met Gala solo.
Then, it was reported that Affleck was staying at a separate house from Lopez.
Lopez was also spotted going house hunting without Affleck, implying that she wasn’t planning to live with him moving forward.
“They started having issues a few months ago, as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour … They are on two completely different pages most of the time,” a source told Us Weekly.
Amid the drama, the “Jenny From the Block” singer “liked” an Instagram post detailing the qualities of a partner that could lead to an unhealthy relationship.
The message read that “you cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety,” “doesn’t respect your time,” lacks “communication skills” and doesn’t have a strong sense of self.
