Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after just 25 months of marriage. According to the filing, the celebrity couple has been separated since April 26th of this year, confirming long-standing rumors of trouble between them.
Ben and Jen last appeared together in February when they walked the red carpet for the premiere of Lopez’s This Is Me … Now: A Love Story. Even then, reports were out that the two were living separately, and the relationship had become estranged.
They were each incredibly busy in their professional lives. J-Lo released an album and starred in four movies, while Ben starred in two films and produced another.
The couple recently put their Beverly Hills home on the market for $68 million. Ben purchased a new house in July, but J-Lo hasn’t found another permanent residence.
In July 2022, oddsmakers created odds on J-Lo and Ben’s eventual split, setting January 1 of next year as the deadline. It turns out their projections were accurate, as they favored a divorce announcement or separation within that timeframe.

The divorce filing also reveals the lack of any prenuptial agreement. Both Jen and Ben are no strangers to the marriage game. This will be Lopez’ fourth divorce and Affleck’s second.

They are both independently wealthy, and the marriage did not bear any children, so the financials should be easily separated. The lack of an agreement after months of settlement negotiations suggests that there is still some heat between them.
Since the ink on the divorce papers is probably still wet, no follow-up odds are offered at entertainment gambling sites just yet. When celebrity couples hit the skids, online sportsbooks usually follow up with props for their next romantic partner.
For example, here are the odds that BetUS has posted for Tom Cruise’s next girlfriend.

Cruise has no history of rekindling romances, so there aren’t any prior girlfriends or wives included in these futures. In the case of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, some familiar faces will likely be included.
