After months of speculation, Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Ben Affleck. The two have had a long romantic history; they first dated more than 20 years ago before getting engaged in 2002, but they called off their wedding in 2003 and split for good in 2004.

Ben and Jen reconnected in 2021, and fans were excited about the potential for a romance. In 2022, they had tied the knot in a romantic Georgia wedding, but it seems the flames didn’t last long. Two years after their pricey, elegant wedding ceremony, Lopez has officially filed for divorced. Each half of this ultra-famous duo has racked up plenty of cash through the years, and they reportedly don’t have a prenup — but who has the higher net worth in 2024?
