### Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck File for Divorce on Second Wedding Anniversary
Jennifer Lopez, the popular "On The Floor" singer, has officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their much-publicized relationship. The filing took place on August 20, precisely two years after their lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia, amidst ongoing rumors of their separation.
Lopez, 55, confirmed the split when she noted that their official separation began on April 26, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause. This news follows months of speculation about the couple’s relationship status.
In September, the couple briefly sparked rumors of a possible reconciliation. On September 14, a source informed Page Six that Lopez and Affleck were seen sharing a lunch with their children at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where they were observed holding hands and kissing. However, an insider later clarified that despite the public display of affection, the couple was still moving ahead with their divorce and amicably sorting out financial details.
The absence of a prenuptial agreement is expected to complicate the proceedings significantly. They had originally eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 without signing any legal precautions regarding their assets. A source remarked that the divorce could turn into "the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever."
Adding to this, the former couple has been taking collaborative steps towards their separation. On September 23, Lopez and Affleck were seen together at celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser's office in Los Angeles, suggesting that they are working through the legal process jointly.
