Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: Of Love and Legalities

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially divorced. Their divorce settlement was approved by a court in January and came into effect in February. Despite the breakup, details remain largely private except that no spousal support will be exchanged. There were no custody issues as they have no children together.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially parted ways as their divorce settlement gained court approval in January and became effective in February. The celebrity couple had avoided a contentious court battle by reaching a settlement through mediation last September.

Their legal separation comes after a rocky relationship history, marked by an initial engagement and breakup in the early 2000s, followed by a rekindled romance and marriage in July 2022. This lasted until Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, citing that they had separated over a year earlier.

Although most financial aspects remain undisclosed, it has been confirmed that neither Lopez nor Affleck will pay spousal support, and custody isn't an issue since they have no children together. While Lopez drops 'Affleck' from her legal name, both continue their individual lives with their respective families from previous marriages.
