Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck at the Amazon Studios' World premiere of 'AIR' held at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood^ USA on March 27^ 2023.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are divorcing after two years of marriage. The news comes after rumors circulated over the summer concerning their potential split, with Lopez and Affleck spending much of the summer on opposite coasts. Multiple sources told PEOPLE in May that Affleck and Lopez were not living together in their Los Angeles home. In June, Affleck and Lopez put the mansion they shared together in Beverly Hills since June 2023 on the market, and Affleck later purchased a new $20 million home in Los Angeles in July.

According to court documents, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20 in Los Angeles Superior Court. News outlets reveal that Lopez listed the date of separation as April 26 and the couple does not have a prenup, with sources confirming that Lopez filed without an attorney. TMZ was the first to reported the news of the Lopez’s divorce filing.

Lopez and Affleck’s marriage came several decades after they originally dated in the early 2000s. The couple was engaged to be married in 2003, but postponed their nuptials and ultimately went their separate ways.

Following Lopez’s breakup with her ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez in 2021, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their relationship, with the couple marrying in July 2022 in Las Vegas. Lopez announced their marriage on her website at the time: “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.” The next month, the couple celebrated their marriage during a lavish, second wedding ceremony in Georgia.

Affleck was previously married to actor Jennifer Garner, whom he divorced in 2018. The exes share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Lopez was also previously married to actor Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd. She married her third husband, singer Marc Anthony, in 2004 before splitting in 2011 after seven years of marriage. The former couple shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme.
