George Lopez is officially free to date Kougar Kardashian...or anyone else for that matter

An L.A. judge has signed off on the divorce between the late-night funnyman and his life-saving, kidney-donating former missus, Ann.

Judge Stephen Malone made the divorce official on July 1, according to documents obtained by E! News.

Ann Lopez (née Serrano) filed to dissolve the 17-year marriage back in November. Suffering from a genetic kidney disorcer, the Lopez Tonight host received one of his wife's organs via successful transplant surgery in 2005.

By all accounts, the split was relatively drama-free.

"The decision is amicable and by mutual agreement," they said in a joint statement at the time of the petition. "They remain dedicated parents, and committed partners in business and their philanthropic organization, the Lopez Foundation."

The couple, who tied the knot in 1993, have a 15-year-old daughter, Mayan.
