Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are calling it quits — again.
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, more than two years after the couple married in July 2022, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE. TMZ first reported the news.
Lopez filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. She filed for divorce herself without using a lawyer and is technically self-represented. Although they married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022, Aug. 20 marked the second anniversary of the traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia.
The singer did not say if there was a prenuptial agreement, and sources told TMZ there is none.
“She tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken,” a source tells PEOPLE of Lopez. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”
Jennifer Lopez thought through her decision thoroughly before she filed for divorce with husband of two years, Ben Affleck.
The Gone Girl actor, who had rekindled their romance after nearly two decades with his former flame, was no longer interested to make amends as the couple went through marital problems.
The On the Floor singer is heartbroken about the divorce but she is convinced that Affleck wants nothing to do with her, an insider revealed.
“She’s very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage,” the source told People Magazine. “He hasn’t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work.”
The source added that it got to the point that she “just needed to look out for herself.”
After suffering through the issues, Lopez went ahead with her painful decision to split, realising that it was “time to move on.”
In official documents obtained by multiple media outlets, the Waiting For Tonight songstress chose to file divorce on Tuesday, August 20, which was their second wedding anniversary.
Meanwhile, the couple had already split by April 26, 2024.
