Matt Damon might soon find himself getting roped into Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce drama.
As we previously reported, Ben and Jen did not sign a prenup before they tied the knot in 2022.
And because of that baffling decision, it will not be easy for the exes to simply go their separate ways.

According to TMZ, very asset these two earned over the past years must now be divided equally.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are divorcing after just over two years of marriage. Lopez filed on Tuesday, August 20, in L.A. County Superior Court, Variety confirms. The official separation date is listed as April 26.
Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, married in Las Vegas in July 2022 after re-sparking their relationship from two decades prior, which was dubbed “Bennifer” by tabloid publications at the time and was a fixation of their coverage in the early 2000s.
The two tied the knot again in a large ceremony in Georgia on August 20, 2022 — exactly two years ago.
Lopez and Affleck made two films together: Martin Brest’s largely reviled romantic caper “Gigli” in 2003 and Kevin Smith’s comedy “Jersey Girl” in 2004. By the time the latter feature hit theaters, Lopez and Affleck had called off their engagement and gone their separate ways.
Both got married and divorced in the intervening years — Lopez to Marc Anthony, Affleck to Jennifer Garner.

Creative partners Adam Pally and David Caspe didn’t anticipate that the “third in the Pally-Caspe trilogy” would star one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Pally, a dedicated member of his own rec league basketball team, and Caspe, an “enormous basketball fan and even bigger Stephen Curry fan,” could not believe that the four-time NBA champion wanted to work on a show with them.
“I would not be shocked if we just got a phone call Thursday morning when the show’s supposed to premiere. That’s like, ‘Yeah, Stephen decided not to do it,’” Caspe told TheWrap. “I’d be like, ‘That makes sense. God bless him.’”
The idea for the duo’s mockumentary series “Mr. Throwback” came after an appearance on Ayesha Curry’s HBO Max game show, “About Last Night.”

Renowned singer-songwriter Jason Derulo recounted a near-fatal accident that shook the foundations of his career.
Derulo recounted the incident in a candid interview on the I Am Paris podcast. “I had this tour set up — it was the biggest tour of my life at that point.”
In 2013, as Derulo prepared for the tour, the singer was instructed to perform a series of back tucks, a gymnastic maneuver that involved a backward somersault. As he attempted the stunt, Derulo broke his C2 vertebrae and faced the prospect of paralysis or even death.

This is not the regular feud where female besties fall out over a guy they both like, nope. The fallout between the star of “The Mother” Jennifer Lopez, and her Bff Leah Remini is a different case in that the “Saved By The Bell” actress was trying to stop her bestie from repeating the same mistake twice.
Lopez and Remini met and became BFFs in 2004. Remini knew all about Lopez’ past relationship with “Batman” actor Ben Affleck.
The “Old School” actress knew how her bestie and Affleck first got engaged in 2002 only to break up few days to their wedding in 2003. It happened that several years later when the “Marry Me” actress and the “Goodwill Hunting” actor rekindled their love, Remini was completely against it.

A few months ago, Dolly Parton broke her silence on Elle King’s drunken performance at the Grand Ole Opry. King, 34, had constantly faced backlash from country fans and beyond for saying she was “f—ing hammered” during her birthday tribute to Parton at the Grand Ole Opry in January.
King admitted her performance was “f—ing bad” while trying to perform one of Parton’s classics, ‘Marry Me.’ She also made a joke about people expecting her to know the lyrics to the song. “I can barely play another person’s song, let me see if I can play one of mine,” King said.
Fans also fished out a separate video where King was heard telling the crowd that they were not getting their money back.

Elle King Was Dealing with “Something Very Heavy and Traumatic” During Dolly Parton Tribute Disaster
After several months of silence, Elle King has addressed her controversial Dolly Parton tribute performance at the Grand Ole Opry in January.
During the performance, which took place on Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday and featured a myriad of tributes, Elle King arrived drunk and slurred her way through a rendition of Parton’s “Marry Me.” “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this fucking town/ Don’t tell Dolly ‘cus it’s her birthday” she told the audience before confessing, “I’m not even gonna fucking lie… y’all bought tickets for this shit, you ain’t getting your money back. And I’m gonna tell you one thing more: Hi, my name is Elle King, I’m fucking hammered.”

Elle King offered the most detailed account of her disastrous performance at the Grand Ole Opry’s Dolly Parton tribute show earlier this year — and the incredible kindness Parton showed her afterward — on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast.

Jennifer Lopez's life and career have taken the world on an unforgettable roller-coaster ride. We've witnessed the ups, downs, and unexpected twists in between. She may not always be a favorite among critics, but Lopez has continued to produce films through her company Nuyorican Productions, elevating herself to celeb royalty. As she juggles the many crowns she wears, one that deserves the spotlight is her role in essentially being our first Latina rom-com queen.
Sure, some of her earlier films, like 2002's "Maid in Manhattan," were criticized for perpetuating Latina stereotypes. But despite the naysayers, Lopez has never given up her spot as a rom-com star. The 2005 romantic comedy "Monster-in-Law," which she stars in alongside Jane Fonda, followed those less desirable films and became one of her highest-grossing films to date.

Annie Clark displays a remarkable facility for change, creating constantly morphing songs contained within a shifting panoply of modes, voices, and styles, cutting delicate, glittering pop with forceful fuzz and raunchy, preening guitar work. A multi-instrumentalist with a history of institutional training and anonymous backing-band work, she retains the guitar as her signature instrument and most potent tool, lacerating otherwise divine music with down-and-dirty grit, eyes heavenward and feet muddy.
The gradual expansion of sounds and textures occurring across her seven solo albums as St. Vincent has been accompanied by an inverse sense of simplification, the fine-tuning of music that’s grown less theatrical and more precise, imagery and language filed down to a sharp point. To celebrate the release of her latest release, All Born Screaming, we’ve ranked all eight of the musician’s albums, including her one-off collaboration with David Byrne.

On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.
As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

The Grand Ole Opry celebrated Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday on Jan. 19 with a night of performances at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Friday. While the country legend herself wasn’t present for the Opry Goes Dolly event, other musicians took the stage to perform her hits in tribute — or at least they were supposed to. Singer-songwriter Elle King derailed the performance by appearing onstage in a seemingly inebriated state: At one point, she admitted to being “hammered” and forgot the words to Parton’s songs during her set.

Two decades ago, Jennifer Lopez took the pop zeitgeist by storm with "This is Me...Then," an album that immortalized her as "Jenny From The Block" and featured other hit singles like "All I Have" and "I'm Glad."
