Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce has been settled.

TMZ reports that each one will leave with whatever money they made from their individual projects during their marriage, and they won’t pay spousal support to each other. While the pair didn’t have a prenup, their settlement acts like a prenup.

During their two-year marriage, Lopez worked on a few big projects, like Atlas, This is Me… Now, The Mother, Shotgun Wedding, and Marry Me.

Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity also worked on several big movies, including Air, The Instigators, and Unstoppable. Affleck and Damon created the company in 2022, a few months after Ben and J Lo tied the knot.

The former couple also settled an agreement regarding their $61 million Beverly Hills mansion, though the terms are confidential. The home has been on the market since July and they reportedly have had trouble finding a buyer.

According to TMZ, the settlement also revealed that Jennifer is returning to her maiden name.

Lopez filed for divorce in August on the second anniversary of her and Affleck’s wedding ceremony. She later commented on her separation, telling Nikki Glaser for Interview Magazine, “It was like my whole world fucking exploded.”

She continued, “When your whole house blows up, you’re standing there in the rubble going, 'How do I not ever let that happen again?' And then you start examining it little by little saying, 'Okay, I did this, this was my part in it, this was what I should have seen early on, this is what I didn’t look at.' Those things are what really are the lessons."

The ex-couple’s divorce will reportedly be officially finalized on Feb. 20.
