Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck

According to documents obtained by TMZ, the 'Jenny From the Block' singer filed legal docs on Tuesday (20.08.24) in L.A. County Superior Court without an attorney.

The date of separation is listed as April 26 2024, but the day on which J. Lo filed for divorce is in fact the second anniversary of the second ceremony they held in Georgia, which followed their initial wedding service in Las Vegas just two months before that.

According to TMZ, the 'Waiting For Tonight' hitmaker "does not say in her docs whether there's a prenup", although sources have claimed to the outlet that there is "no prenuptial agreement" to begin with.

The couple has been rumoured to have called it quits for some time now, but Jennifer - who has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony and is stepmother to Ben and Jennifer Garner's kids Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and 12-year-old Samuel - has not addressed anything to do with their supposed split, and just mere months ago insisted that there was a "real, true love" between the pair.

She told the Metro newspaper: "I wrote 'This Is Me... Then' when Ben and I fell in love 20-something years ago. As fate would have it, we came back into each other's lives. And on the 20th anniversary of 'This Is Me'... Then, I announced that I would do 'This Is Me... Now' . It was inspired by the surreal miracle that had happened.

"Him coming back into my life and the two of us reuniting in a way that we never expected that was the inspiration for even going in the studio. The album just poured out of me.

"It was just something organic and beautiful, but it was definitely inspired by getting this incredible second chance at real, true love."
