Bennifer 2.0 is over.

Jennifer Lopez has filed to divorce Ben Affleck after two years of marriage.

Lopez submitted the paperwork Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to TMZ, which reported that filed she pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney.

Tuesday also marks the two-year anniversary of the pair’s lavish Georgia wedding ceremony, which they held after eloping in Las Vegas in July 2022.

The singer listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024.

Lopez did not say in her filing whether she and the actor have a prenuptial agreement in place, with sources telling the outlet that they do not have one.

She went on to waive spousal support and asked the judge to deny Affleck such support as well.

Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, first sparked breakup rumors in May 2024 amid reports that they started going to couple’s therapy.

Although neither Lopez nor Affleck addressed the speculation, the “Air” actor was spotted without his wedding ring a week later, seemingly confirming there was trouble in paradise.

TMZ also reported that Affleck no longer lived in their Beverly Hills mega-mansion.

According to the outlet, the Oscar winner had been seen staying at a house in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles for about a week — despite it being nearly 30 minutes from their Beverly Hills home.

He was photographed coming and going from the property without the “Jenny From the Block” singer on numerous occasions.

Attentive fans later realized the pair hadn’t been photographed together in over a month and a half.

Soon after, Page Six learned that Affleck was “house-hunting” in the area.

Meanwhile, the “Wedding Planner” actress was also photographed touring homes in Los Angeles alongside her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, in mid-May.

A source told us at the time that the Oscar winner would “divorce on grounds of temporary insanity” if he could because he finally came “to his senses” following what felt like a “fever dream.”

In June, Lopez took a solo vacation to Italy, while her beau remained in Los Angeles.

She enjoyed time on a luxury yacht before traveling to Paris for the Dior fashion show.

While the mom of two was in Europe, Affleck reportedly moved all of his belongings out of their Beverly Hills home.

The divorce rumors ramped up when the couple listed their marital home on the market in July.

The couple listed the 38,000-square-foot new home, which features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a full basketball court, for $68 million — nearly $8 million more than what they paid when they bought it in 2023.

The “On the Floor” singer and the “Good Will Hunting” star reportedly paid all cash for the pricey property — which was originally listed for $135 million in 2018.

Ahead of Fourth of July weekend, Lopez jetted off to the Hamptons to enjoy time with family — including Affleck’s daughter Violet.

The pop star and the teen were spotted walking with their arms wrapped around each other in Southampton, NY, on July 14 and were seen at the East Hampton Antiques & Design Show outside the Historic Mulford Farm Museum the day prior.

On their special day, the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer drove around with her longtime manager, Benny Medina, in the Hamptons while the “Argo” actor arrived at his LA office.

Affleck was not present for any of his wife’s 55th birthday activities, including her “Bridgerton”-themed party and her private lunch at Arthur & Sons in the Hamptons.

However, he did spend Lopez’s birthday purchasing a new $20 million LA mansion.

Affleck’s new bachelor pad allegedly boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, breakfast and dining spaces, a family room, a den, a media room and a powder room. It also features a separate guest house on the property.

Meanwhile, on his big day, Lopez posted throwback photos of herself from her own birthday dinner.

“They got caught up in the moment. Jennifer had wanted this wedding — the gowns, the friends, all the trappings and trimmings — for decades,” an insider told Page Six earlier this month.

“They’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business of 20-plus years ago. They’ve seen things through to the end — and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul.”

The insider went on to call their impending split “the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever.”

We were told Lopez was “furious” and “humiliated” since Affleck “was the one who initiated getting back together” and that he held off on filing for divorce to spare her more embarrassment.

Lopez first met Affleck in 2001 on the set of their movie “Gigli.” However, J.Lo was still married to her second husband, Cris Judd, at the time.

Judd and Lopez split in June 2002 and Bennifer went public with their romance shortly after.

By November 2002, the former co-stars were already engaged. However, just as quickly as things heated up, they fizzled out.

After postponing their September 2003 wedding, the couple officially called things off just four months later.

Both stars moved on to other relationships fairly quickly, with Lopez marrying Marc Anthony in June 2004 and Affleck tying the knot with Jennifer Garner the following year.

Lopez split from the singer in 2011 and went on to date Casper Smart, Drake and Alex Rodriguez, whom she was engaged to for two years before their March 2021 breakup.

Meanwhile, Garner and Affleck announced their separation in 2015. Following their breakup, the actor was linked to Lindsay Shookus, Shauna Sexton and Ana de Armas.

In April 2021, Affleck and Lopez nearly broke the internet when they were first spotted hanging out together again in LA.

They got engaged a year later.
