As a die-hard fan who has witnessed Jennifer Lopez‘s career blossom from “Fly Girl” to Hollywood superstar, I find myself deeply saddened by the news of her divorce from Ben Affleck. Having followed their love story since its revival and subsequent marriage in 2022, I had hoped for a lifetime of romance and partnership for these two iconic figures.
On August 20, 2024, Jennifer Lopez, a famous actress from Hollywood, officially filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck, marking an end to their two-year marriage. Recently, there has been much discussion about the state of their union, and it appears that Lopez is seeking to restore her original surname, signifying a move towards independence in this new chapter of her life.
On Thursday, August 22nd, court records obtained by PEOPLE show that Jennifer Lopez has asked to restore her original name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez. In her petition, Lopez mentioned “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their separation and stated that neither she nor Affleck should receive alimony.
In addition to her acting role in Atlas, she also asked for the division of their shared property, encompassing both assets and liabilities, explaining that “At present, I am unaware of the specific characteristics and full extent of our separate property holdings and financial obligations.” Moreover, her court filing hinted that Ben Affleck and herself are yet to decide on how to split their marital assets during the divorce proceedings.
In an interview with Vogue last December, Lopez spoke about her joy as Mrs. Affleck and explained why she chose to legally adopt her husband’s surname. She stated then, “We are married and I am proud of that. I don’t view it as a problem.” Despite other people’s views on her decision, Lopez felt certain in her choice, identifying herself as a traditional woman who found the name change to be romantic.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had a past engagement but broke up, later reconnecting in 2021. However, rumors of marital issues began to surface by early May 2024, with PEOPLE magazine disclosing that the couple had been residing separately in Los Angeles, dealing with difficulties in their relationship.
Simultaneously, a different source shared with the Daily Mail that Lopez believes she’s done everything possible to salvage her marriage, but the disparities between them appear insurmountable and troublesome. On the other hand, Affleck supposedly never made an effort to address the issues and showed no signs of wanting to mend their failing union.
