After months of speculation about the status of their relationship, Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.

On Tuesday, Lopez personally filed divorce documents through the Los Angeles Superior Court without using a lawyer, TMZ first reported and HuffPost can confirm.

The documents confirm that the couple, who married in July 2022 nearly two decades after calling off their first wedding, had been separated for some time.

Lopezs filings list the date of separation as April 26, 2024.

Court records do not contain information regarding a prenuptial agreement, which could mean any assets the couple accrued during their 2 years of marriage would be split between the two of them.

In the documents, Lopez requested to waive spousal support for both herself and Affleck.

Lopezs filings come exactly two years after the pair sealed their union with a second wedding ceremony in Georgia following an initial ceremony in Las Vegas one month prior.

The story of Affleck and Lopezs split was quite the saga.

Reports that the relationship was in rocky territory began to emerge this May, fueled by the fact that the couple once known as Bennifer had not been seen in public together for nearly two months.

Around that time, an insider told People that Affleck had not been living at the Los Angeles estate he shared with Lopez.

Amid reports that the two were living separately, the Hustlers actor tried to put a damper on the breakup speculation.

When she was asked about the reported relationship strife during an event promoting her film Atlas in Mexico City on May 22, costar Simu Liu stepped in.

Chastising the journalist for the question, Liu said: OK, were not doing that. Lopez added: You know better than that.
