Fans lit up social media following the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce after just over two years of marriage.
The Maid in Manhattan star, 55, filed for divorce from the Batman actor, 51, in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday and set April 26, 2024 as the separation date, according to TMZ.
The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021. However, August 20 marks the second anniversary of their traditional wedding ceremony held in Georgia.
Despite months of split rumors, JLo’s court filing sparked a frenzy among fans and unleashed a wave of reactions on social media.
“Filing for divorce on your wedding anniversary is crazy,” one follower wrote, while another chimed in: “It took longer than I thought. Is she already engaged to someone else?”

This is Jennifer’s fourth divorce and Ben’s second.
“I wonder if she’s the problem, 4 divorces + other breakups with big names,” another fan tweeted, referring to Jlo’s long list of lovers.
Another posted: “Maybe she should take some time and focus on herself.”
Another shared: ‘Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting divorced. I bet Ben is so happy he can be miserable in peace now, meanwhile JLo will have a new love interest by Labor Day. She can’t be a single woman for long.’
Sources close to the couple claim that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement before their July 2022 wedding.
As a result, Jennifer and Ben’s earnings from the past two years, including income from film projects and deals with major brands, would be considered community property.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Ben and Jennifer for comment.
Jennifer, with an estimated net worth of $400 million, has released four films since marrying Ben.
Despite months of split rumors, JLo’s court filing sparked a frenzy among fans and unleashed a wave of reactions on social media.
Among them is This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a self-financed $20 million project that chronicles the couple’s renewed romance.
Ben, whose net worth is estimated at $150 million, recently appeared in Air (2023) and Hypnotic (2023) and completed filming a sequel to The Accountant (2016).
TMZ reports that Jennifer is not seeking spousal support and has asked the judge to do the same for Ben.
Sources suggest that Jennifer’s decision to file for divorce is due to ongoing financial disagreements between the two.
