Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, ending a relationship that lasted two decades.

Lopez, 55, filed the documents Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, just over a month after the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary, according to court documents obtained by CBS Los Angeles.

The couple got engaged in the early 2000s but called off their wedding just before the nuptials. Lopez later married singer Marc Anthony and was briefly engaged to former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Affleck, 52, married actress Jennifer Garner and the couple have three children together.

Lopez and Affleck’s romance was rekindled in 2021 and they tied the knot on July 16, 2022.

Court documents show Lopez filed for divorce and there is no mention of a prenuptial agreement.

In May, Lopez announced the cancellation from her summer concert tour. At the time, she cited the need to spend time with her children and close family.

In a message posted online that month, Lopez wrote: “I am completely shocked and devastated that I let you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t think it was absolutely necessary.”

Contacted by CBS News, a representative for Lopez declined to comment.
