The end of a great love story
Hollywood dream team Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially divorced after just two years of marriage. The separation took place on February 21, 2025 and marked the end of a relationship that was once considered the love comeback of the year. In 2021, the two superstars got back together after 17 years and celebrated their wedding at Affleck's estate in Georgia in August 2022. But their happiness was not to last. Crisis rumors were already circulating in spring 2024, and Lopez finally filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, exactly two years after their wedding. The reason given for the separation was "irreconcilable differences".
No disputes over assets
The assets were not disputed, as the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement. Both will keep the assets they acquired during the marriage. Lopez's fortune is estimated at $400 million, while Affleck's is around $150 million. Despite the separation, the two are said to maintain a friendly relationship. They were even spotted exchanging gifts just before Christmas, which shows that they are still in touch despite the end of their romantic relationship.
