As their whirlwind romance fades into a contentious divorce, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck find themselves embroiled in a potential financial battle. According to inside sources, Lopez is seeking a significant portion of Affleck’s wealth in the settlement, estimated to be around half of his $150 million fortune.
Reports suggest Lopez’s decision stems from a perceived imbalance in financial responsibility during their brief marriage. Insiders claim she shouldered the majority of their lavish lifestyle’s costs, despite her own substantial net worth estimated at $400 million. This reportedly included expenses like their Bel Air mansion (valued at $60 million), private jet travel, luxury hotels, and other high-end outlays. The source paints a picture of Affleck as reluctant to spend, portraying Lopez as the primary financier throughout the marriage.
Lopez’s inner circle reportedly advised against rekindling the romance, believing Affleck had not fully committed. The current situation appears to reflect a desire for retribution, with the source stating, “One of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her.” This sentiment is further fueled by reports of Lopez meticulously documenting expenses incurred during the marriage.
As the divorce unfolds, the animosity between the former couple seems to be deepening. Affleck has been seen without his wedding ring, while Lopez prioritizes self-care and work, spending time alone in the Hamptons. The final terms of the settlement remain unclear, but Lopez’s financial demands undoubtedly complicate their high-profile split.
With both parties wielding significant wealth, the true motivations behind Lopez’s financial demands remain to be seen. Was it an attempt to recoup spousal support or a calculated move to exact revenge? Only time will tell how this Hollywood love story concludes.
