Jennifer Lopez listed April 26, 2024, as the date of her separation from Ben Affleck when she filed for divorce on Tuesday, Page Six can confirm.

She filed pro per, meaning by herself and without an attorney, on the second anniversary of their picturesque Georgia wedding ceremony they held after eloping in Las Vegas in July 2022.

Page Six learned earlier this summer that their marriage was over in March.

Although they had been spotted out and about together a handful of times that month, they noticeably drifted apart in April.

Rumors started swirling about their separation in May after it became obvious they stopped seeing each other publicly.

For instance, Lopez, 55, walked the red carpet for the 2024 Met Gala solo, despite being one of its co-chairs.

Affleck, 52, also let her attend the Los Angeles and Mexico premieres of her new movie, ‘Atlas,’ alone.

That same month, an insider told Page Six Affleck was ready for their marriage to be over.

"If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would," they shared. "He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work."

As spring gave way to summer, it became more evident the couple was spending no time together as the "On the Floor" hitmaker indulged in a European girls’ trip and then spent much of her time in New York.

Meanwhile, the "Argo" star remained on the West Coast and focused on work after he moved out of their massive marital mansion— which has been sitting on the market since July.

The pair also spent Lopez’s July birthday apart. However, she was seen visiting her husband’s rental home in Brentwood, Calif., on his birthday.
