When and finalized their divorce, they took their personal belongings with them.

The exes formally ended their marriage on Monday, January 6, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly. In doing so, both parties “agreed to divide all assets and liabilities” to avoid further litigation and expense. 

Lopez, 55, keeps all of her personal belongings and earnings from their date of separation — April 26, 2024 — as well as half of their bank accounts. Affleck, 52, gets the same. Per the settlement agreement, they’ll also divide their $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills that is now on the market, but the specific terms to the agreement are sealed. 

In the divorce, Lopez retains her clothing, jewelry and “miscellaneous personal effects in her possession, custody or control,” and all assets that she owns “individually or by entities of which [Lopez] is the sole owner, member or shareholder.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got back together nearly 20 years after their romance first took the world by storm. The pair first connected in 2002 on the set of the ill-fated Gigli. The movie […]

Meanwhile, Affleck holds onto his interest in the Artists Equity production company that he founded with in November 2022. The agreement states that he “shall pay, indemnify and hold [Lopez] harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, debts, actions, causes of action and/or tax liabilities associated with” the company.

They settled their divorce via mediation in September. Lopez requested to drop “Affleck” from her last name and restore her legal name to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

The actress filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024. Instead of tapping a lawyer to submit paperwork on her behalf, Lopez submitted it herself on the two-year anniversary of the pair’s Georgia wedding, despite their separation date being months earlier.

At the time, celebrity divorce attorney suggested in an interview with Us that Lopez’s decision to file sans attorney was “intentional to send a message that this will not be a fight.” Melcher posited that the duo had possibly “worked out most of [the] issues before going public with the filing.”

Sparks flew anew when the couple — famously known as “Bennifer” — reconnected in May 2021 and became engaged again in April 2022. They exchanged vows in Vegas that July and hosted a second ceremony in Georgia the next month.
