Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finalized their divorce five months after their split, reaching a settlement in September. The couple, who were previously engaged in 2002 and remarried in 2022 after a 20-year hiatus, agreed to keep their individual earnings from their two-year marriage.
Details of the settlement, including the disposition of their Beverly Hills mansion, remain largely private. However, reports indicate a mutual agreement was reached through mediation. Both parties will retain what they earned during the marriage, according to reports.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce in August 2024, following a rumored separation a year earlier. This relatively swift resolution contrasts with other high-profile divorces, like that of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, which spanned several years in court.
The agreement marks a conclusion to the couple's rekindled relationship, which was initially celebrated by fans but now appears to have ended after a brief period of marriage. Lopez and Affleck had no children together.
Though the specifics are not publicly known, the agreement reportedly includes a resolution of the couple's Beverly Hills home. The finalization of the divorce is pending court approval.
The agreement also allows Lopez to drop "Affleck" from her legal name. This relatively rapid settlement contrasts with some high-profile divorces, highlighting the potential for a more streamlined process through mediation.
