Exclusive | Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck on their wedding anniversary

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce on their wedding anniversary.

A source told Us that J.Lo specifically filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second anniversary to show the world that she is “a woman who stands in her own way.”

Lopez filed for divorce in LA County Superior Court on August 20, their second wedding anniversary in Georgia. They had eloped and married in Las Vegas a month earlier in July 2022.

He also filed “pro se,” meaning he represented himself and filed the suit without an attorney, a move that could signal his taking back control going forward.

Their listed date of separation is April 26, 2024.

We also hear that Lopez’s shopping trip in West Hollywood, California, last weekend — when the “Jenny From the Block” singer wore a flowy black dress — was meant to show that she’s getting her dignity back. (Or, as they call it, the revenge dress!)

In July, the couple put their marital home on the market for $68 million. Affleck also spent $20.5 million for a mansion in the ritzy Pacific Palisades area of ​​Los Angeles in July.

Lopez spent her summer vacation biking in the Hamptons, celebrating her birthday without Affleck and spending time with her longtime manager, Benny Medina.

Meanwhile, Affleck was in Los Angeles working on “The Accountant 2.”

Earlier this month, a source told Page Six that Lopez felt “disrespected” and “disappointed” that the couple failed to reconcile, especially since, “she made a huge deal out of the fact that he’s the love of her life.”

At the time, we were told Affleck was holding off on filing for divorce to avoid embarrassing Lopez.

A source told People that the “Air” actor has “no interest” in fixing their broken relationship.

“She is very disappointed and hurt, but Ben has given her no indication that he wants to continue their marriage,” the source explained.

“He has shown no commitment or interest in making his marriage work. It’s gotten to the point where all he has to think about is himself.”

The couple has no children but have merged their families from their previous marriages.

“His kids and his wife are taking it well,” an insider told Page Six. “Everyone is ready to move on.”

Lopez has 16-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
