Singer Jennifer Lopez has officially filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending their marriage.
The divorce comes just two years after their highly publicized wedding, which took place in Georgia. According to court documents, Lopez, 55, filed the papers on the second anniversary of their ceremony and has requested that her legal name be changed back to Jennifer Lynn Lopez, dropping Affleck’s surname, which she had adopted following their marriage.
The decision to end the marriage and revert to her maiden name suggests that Lopez is taking a firm stand on her right to leave a relationship that no longer brings her comfort or satisfaction.
In the past, Lopez had expressed her pride in taking Affleck’s last name, describing it as a romantic and traditional gesture.
However, her decision to reclaim her original name signals her desire to move forward independently.

The filing, which also requests that neither party be awarded spousal support, has sparked discussions about the division of the couple’s assets, as reports suggest that they did not have a prenuptial agreement.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has been a focal point of public interest for years, both during their early 2000s romance and their recent reunion.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding their rekindled love, it appears that Lopez has chosen to prioritize her well-being and autonomy by ending the marriage.
This decision highlights the importance of speaking up and taking action when a relationship no longer serves one’s best interests, ensuring that both parties can move on without lingering resentment or harm.
