Lopez filed her divorce paperwork on what would have been the couple’s two-year wedding anniversary, citing irreconcilable differences as the basis for the split.
The singer/actress also cited April 26 as as the date of separation, which backed up widespread speculation over the past few months that Affleck and Lopez were basically done as a romantic item.
Affleck has been spotted with his wedding ring on in ages, while the pair even put their shared home up for sale in June.
The stars first got together way back in 2002, only to get engaged and then call off the engagement two years later.
Each went on to have kids and get married to other people, reconciling in 2021 after Lopez broke off her romance with former steroid user Alex Rodriguez.

The two reportedly didn’t sign a prenup before they married, which could potentially lead to a battle over assets, including their aforementioned Beverly Hills mansion that they put up for sale for $68 million two-plus months ago.
Might Lopez and Affleck have simply been discussing this issue over the weekend?
Yes.
