New Delhi: After months of legal proceedings, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially ended their marriage. The divorce was finalized on February 21, marking the conclusion of their two-year union.
In a symbolic move, JLo has also legally removed "Affleck" from her name, closing the chapter on their high-profile relationship.
Divorce Settlement: A Quiet and Amicable Split
According to AP, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved the divorce settlement on January 6, with the six-month waiting period in California delaying the official split until now.
Unlike many celebrity breakups, Lopez and Affleck opted for mediation in September, avoiding a public courtroom battle.
No spousal support will be paid by either party.
Since they have no children together, custody arrangements were not a concern.
