According to the latest divorce papers, it listed the couple’s date of separation as April 26, 2024 and they are no longer on speaking terms.
Lopez was previously married to actor Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd and singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme while Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner and they are the parents of Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
