Although the former couple settled their divorce back on Jan. 6, the Los Angeles County Superior Court declared the couple's marriage as dissolved and the pair as legally single as of Friday, Feb. 21, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, initially rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022. They later celebrated their nuptials with a ceremony in Georgia in front of friends and family on Aug. 20, 2022. Lopez filed for divorce exactly two years after the Georgia ceremony, listing April 26, 2024, as the couple's date of separation and citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. She filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court without a lawyer, requesting no spousal support for either party, for attorney's fees to be split, and noted that the "exact nature" of their community, quasi-community assets, and separate property and obligations are "unknown" and "will be determined." In addition, Lopez also requested that her former name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez, be restored.
