TradeEdge-Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Real Breakup Date Revealed

Jennifer Lopez is TradeEdgeready to get loud on the end of her relationship with Ben Affleck. 

The "On the Floor" singer filed for divorce from the actor on Aug. 20 after more than two years of marriage, according to the filing obtained by multiple outlets.

However, J.Lo revealed in the court documents that the couple actually broke up almost four months ago, listing their date of separation as April 26. That same day, Jennifer was photographed leaving her New York apartment, dressed casually in baggy jeans, a beige pullover, an oversized black Birkin bag, platform shoes and large hoop earrings.   

Just 10 days later, she raised eyebrows when she stepped out at the 2024 Met Gala solo—sparking rumors that she and Ben were having issues. At the time, his rep shared that he was in Los Angeles to film The Accountant 2.

Neither star has publicly spoken about what led to the breakup. E! News has reached out to their reps and hasn't received a comment.

In her divorce documents, J.Lo asked the court to deny spousal support to both her and Ben, per TMZ. 

As for why she decided to wait four months to officially file for divorce? She may have been holding out for a significant date, as Aug. 20 marks her second wedding anniversary with the Batman star. 

The pair hosted a lavish wedding in Georgia at the time, inviting friends like Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, director Kevin Smith and actor Jason Mewes to celebrate their love. 

However, it wasn't their first time saying "I do." The duo—who originally ended their engagement in 2003 before reconciling in 2021—tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022.

"We did it," J.Lo wrote in her On The JLo newsletter. "Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient. Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world."

Calling their nuptials "the best possible wedding," J.Lo believed it was the "best night of our lives."
