About Jennifer and Ben
After a relationship that spanned two decades, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben. Court records showed that Jennifer filed the petition on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. TMZ reported that Jennifer listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024. It added that she did not mention any prenuptial agreement.

After meeting, falling in love and getting engaged in the early 2000s — and starring together in 2003’s infamous Gigli and 2004’s Jersey Girl — the couple parted ways, blaming in part the pressure of the public eye.

They reunited two decades later and married — twice — in 2022. The couple had flown to Las Vegas, lined up with their license with four other couples and were wed just after midnight. A month later, they had a much grander wedding at Ben’s house in Georgia, in front of friends and family.
