A Hollywood fairytale came to a close last week when it was revealed that after months of speculation, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are getting a divorce.
The couple had one of the most enduring love stories in the entertainment world, first getting engaged in the aughts before calling it quits in 2004, only to rekindle their romance in 2021 and finally tie the knot a year later.
However, with the filing of their divorce papers by the actress with a Los Angeles Superior County Court, there is no mention of a prenuptial agreement, stating the couple is so far "unsure" about the division of their assets.
