Jennifer Lopez has  filed for divorce from Affleck more than two years after the couple married in July 2022.

Lopez, who had legally changed her last name to Affleck listed the date of their separation as 26th /April without any details of a prenuptial agreement in her petition for divorce. She filed for divorce on 20th August  2024.

A document filed in LA's Superior Court   revealed that both Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, must share financial information, including their current income, expenses, properties and debts.

The document said  both are mandated to divulge any changes to their finances "until there is a final agreement about all financial issues in your case".

The court gave Lopez 60 days to file a financial disclosure and Affleck will have another 60 days after she submits her information to do likewise.

The filing stated that  if either fails to report or update financial information, it could result in a court-imposed sanction.

Lopez is a singer and actress, known for  a number of hits including Love Don't Cost A Thing, If You Had My Love, I'm Real, and On The Floor, as well as films including Out Of Sight, Maid In Manhattan, and Hustlers.

Affleck is an actor, producer and writer, known for the Oscar-winning films Argo and Good Will Hunting.

Affleck, a two-time Oscar winner, was previously married to the actress who he met on the set of 2001 romance Pearl Harbor. They split in 2015 after a decade of marriage and have three children together.

Lopez has been married four times, first to Cuban-born waiter Ojani Noa from 1997-98; then her former back-up dancer Cris Judd from 2001-03; and to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she had twins, from 2004-14.
