Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck known as Bennifer amongst fans had a rekindled romance. Their relationship which began anew in 2022, has come to a close. On August 20, the day that would have marked their second wedding anniversary. Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, in a Los Angeles County Superior Court. This marks the end of their second attempt at marriage, bringing an end to their highly publicized relationship.
Bennifer Prenuptial Agreement
One of the significant questions surrounding their split is whether they had a prenuptial agreement. It has been confirmed that Lopez and Affleck did not sign a prenup when they married in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. As a result, any income or assets accumulated during their marriage will be considered community property, meaning that both will have equal claim to the wealth generated over the past two years. This is particularly noteworthy given that both stars had significant financial stakes and assets prior to their marriage. Despite having been married before—Lopez three times and Affleck once—the couple chose not to secure a prenuptial agreement, possibly due to their initial confidence in the longevity of their relationship.
Divorce Proceedings and Property Settlements
In the divorce filing, Lopez has not requested spousal support and has asked the court to deny such a request from Affleck as well. Since the couple does not have any children together, there are no custodial issues to address. However, the end of their marriage has led to the sale of their shared Beverly Hills home. The 12-bedroom mansion, purchased in May 2023, is now listed for $68 million. Affleck has moved to his own residence in Brentwood, while Lopez is currently searching for a new home.
Career Achievements During Marriage
During their marriage, both Lopez and Ben Affleck continued to advance their careers. Affleck starred in and produced several films, including Air, Hypnotic, and The Instigators, and completed filming for The Accountant 2. Lopez, meanwhile, appeared in a range of films such as Atlas, Shotgun Wedding, This Is Me…Now, and The Mother. Despite their successful careers and substantial earnings. The lack of a prenuptial agreement and their eventual split have put their financial arrangements into the spotlight, as they navigate the next steps following their separation.
