Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reportedly settled their divorce, just five months after filing for the dissolution of their marriage.
The singer/actress initially filed court papers on January 6, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. According to settlement documents obtained by Billboard, the two stars have agreed upon terms to divide up their properties and assets.
In a surprising move, both parties waived spousal support, indicating that they will not be seeking financial compensation from one another after their breakup. This decision is likely a strategic move to maintain a positive public image, given their high-profile status in the entertainment industry.
Furthermore, Lopez has changed her legal name back to Jennifer Lopez, marking an end to the brief “Jennifer Affleck” era. The change may have been a necessary step for both personal and professional reasons, considering she is still an active member of the entertainment industry.
In October, Lopez opened up about her feelings on being single again, stating that she feels grateful for the opportunity to rediscover herself. “I think to myself, ‘F—, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long,'” she shared in an interview.
The settlement marks a swift conclusion to their short-lived marriage, which raised eyebrows due to its unexpected nature and the couple’s respective reputations as strong-willed individuals.
