Another twist has emerged in the unfolding story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce. Jennifer has made a move to drop Ben’s last name and revert to her maiden name.

The documents filed by Jennifer on Tuesday reveal that she has requested her name to be legally changed back to Jennifer Lynn Lopez. This aligns with her decision to formally end her marriage with Ben.

J Lo adopted Ben’s last name when they got married in July 2022. But with the divorce process underway, it appears she is ready to move on from being an Affleck.

In her divorce documents, Jennifer filed under her legal name, Jennifer Lynn Affleck, but she is now seeking to have her name changed.

In a surprising move, Jennifer went to the Los Angeles County Superior Court to file for divorce by herself, without an attorney, on what would have been their second wedding anniversary. This step indicates her determination to finalize the separation.

Notably, Jennifer’s divorce filing did not mention a prenuptial agreement. Sources close to the couple confirm that no such agreement exists, which is unexpected for high-profile individuals like Jen and Ben.

The couple has been engaged in negotiations for months to reach a settlement. However, the discussions have become increasingly tense and contentious. Sources indicate that at times, Jennifer and Ben were not even speaking to one another.

Jennifer’s decision to ditch the Affleck name could be seen as a reflection of the strained relationship between them.
