Jennifer Lopez settles divorce with Ben Affleck nearly 5 months after filing
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially divorced.
According to court docs obtained by TODAY.com, the couple has settled their divorce after Lopez filed for a dissolution of their marriage on August 20, 2024.
The docs state that Lopez will keep her green diamond engagement ring that Affleck gifted her back in 2021 when they rekindled their romance.
Affleck “disclaims and waives all right, title, and interest in and to the following assets hereby confirmed and transferred” to Lopez, including her “clothing, jewelry, and miscellaneous personal effects in her possession, custody or control,” the docs read.
Lopez previously spoke about the significance of the ring’s color, calling it her favorite and lucky color.
“It means so much when somebody really thinks about you, loves you and sees you,” she said in a video and post sent to her On the JLo subscribers in April 2022. “I’m feeling so lucky. It’s not often you get a second chance at true love.”
TODAY.com reached out to Lopez and Affleck for comment.
Lopez and Affleck got married in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and according to the docs, they separated nearly two years later on April 16, 2024. Lopez cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Lopez and Affleck do not have any children together. However, the “This Is Me… Now” singer is a proud mom to her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck also looks after his three kids, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
After filing for divorce, Lopez talked about her new relationship status with Nikki Glaser during an October conversation they had for Interview Magazine.
While talking to the comedian, Lopez said she’s “excited” to be single again after her “whole f—ing world exploded” in 2024.
“I’m not looking for anybody,” she said, adding that last summer was a lesson in learning she had to be “good on (her) own.”
“I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that,” she said.
