The Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck has taken another turn.
For the past few months there have been rumors that Lopez and Affleck were headed towards a divorce.
On Tuesday night, Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck months after separation rumors first began circulating in the media.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck after 2 years of marriage, 2 decades after they first split.

According to TMZ, JLo, and Affleck did not have a prenup signed and are now forced to hash out all money issues themselves.

J Lo filed legal docs Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, but they were not filed by a lawyer. Jennifer filed pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney.
Now here’s the real shocker — J Lo does not say in her docs whether there’s a prenup, and sources with knowledge tell TMZ there is indeed no prenuptial agreement.
That would mean whatever earnings, or profit, Ben and Jen made during their nearly 2 years of marriage is community property.
TMZ also revealed that JLo and Affleck have yet to settle their money issues before the divorce was filed due to the fact the settlement talks have been “acrimonious” and they’re not speaking to each other.
Now for the final big twist — you would think everything has been hashed out moneywise before she filed, but our sources say that is not the case.
TMZ broke the stories … they put their marital home in Bev Hills up for sale, Ben bought his own house in Brentwood — and she’s currently looking for a new house as well.
As we reported, they have been trying to hash out a settlement for months, and our sources say those talks are continuing, but they have become increasingly acrimonious … to the point, at times, they’re not even speaking to each other.
While both JLo and Affleck are insanely rich it’ll be interesting to see how they eventually decide to split up their assets after the divorce without a prenup in place.
