Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Finalize Divorce, Ending Hollywood Love Story
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially reached a divorce settlement following a filing by Lopez on August 20, 2024, at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, according to People.
Divorce Terms
As reported by TMZ, the settlement confirms that neither Lopez nor Affleck will pay spousal support. Both will retain the assets they acquired individually during their marriage. The divorce is set to be finalized on February 20, 2025.
The decision comes after the couple reportedly began living separately, leading Lopez to cancel her summer tour and put their Beverly Hills home up for sale.
Lopez on Flying Solo
In an interview with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine in October 2024, Lopez reflected on her personal journey:
“I’m not looking for anybody because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f***ing do when it’s just me flying on my own? What if I’m just free?”
