Following Jennifer Lopez’s divorce filing from Ben Affleck Tuesday, Dailymail.com is taking a closer look at the financial fallout of the couple’s split, with their cumulative net worth estimated at $640 million.
Tuesday’s filing came after months of speculation swirling around the relationship between the A-list singer-actress, 55, and actor-director, 52, with their relationship woes dominating the Hollywood headlines in recent months.
Lopez filed divorce docs to end her marriage to Affleck without an lawyer in Los Angeles County Superior Court Tuesday, TMZ reported, adding that sources said there’s ‘no prenuptial agreement’ between the pair, and Lopez did not mention one in legal papers.
Lopez, who listed the separation date in court docs of April 26, 2024, filed the documents on the two-year anniversary of their nuptials at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022.
The absence of a prenuptial agreement indicates that the earnings the stars pulled in amid their two years together would be classified as ‘community property,’ TMZ reported.
Property empire to be divided
One major asset the estranged couple will need to agree on is a $60.85 million home in Beverly Hills, California that they purchased last year.
The former couple listed the home – which has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms – in June for $65 million, then relisted it after making recent renovations for $68 million.
Ben Affleck’s film earnings
Both entertainers have worked steadily in the two years they have been wed: Affleck’s projects in that timespan include the 2023 movies Air and Hypnotic, while he has finished shooting the The Accountant 2.
Jennifer Lopez’s film earnings
Lopez’s projects including the 2022 film Shotgun Wedding, 2023’s The Mother, 2024’s This Is Me… Now and 2024’s Atlas.
In court docs, Lopez said she was waiving spousal support and requested the court not give Affleck any either, according to the outlet.
Lopez and Affleck ‘have been trying to hash out a settlement for months,’ according to the outlet, adding that insiders said that the negotiations have been ‘increasingly acrimonious’ at times, with the two not taking to one another directly.
Last month, The Blast reported Lopez had been ‘gearing up for a messy divorce’ and that she was aiming at acquiring half of the $150 million Affleck owns.
Lopez had paid many expenses during the two-year marriage, insiders told Radar Online in July, noting that Affleck had ‘grumbled about spending money.’
Sources told Radar Online that amid the parting, Lopez felt that Affleck had ‘mooched’ off of her wealth, and was subsequently ‘demanding a full inventory of what she spent versus what he spent and wants all the money back she “invested.”
‘She isn’t the one who gave up on their marriage and she’s feeling seriously burned and is out for blood.’
The insider noted that Lopez’s pursuit of financial recompense was in direct response to Affleck’s conduct amid the end of the relationship.
‘If he had stayed in the marriage like a good boy, she wouldn’t have minded,’ the source said. ‘But he abandoned her and ultimately, Jennifer always gets payback and now she’s ready to play hardball.’
The source noted to the outlet that ‘one of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her’ – and is itemizing the expenses she laid out amid the relationship.
Said the source, ‘Ben took so much money out of her, at least that’s what she’s saying … she’s adding up all those private jet bills she puts on her plastic, the hotels, and meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas.
‘The high cost of living was done on her dime. She paid the lion’s share for that $60 million mansion they bought, too.’
According to a piece from the entertainment website Koi Moi earlier this year, the now-estranged pair had a cumulative net worth estimated at $640 million.
Lopez is mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55; while Affleck is father to children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Affleck’s demeanor was cited as a reason for the split between the stars, who had famously dated two decades earlier.
‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her,’ a source told Dailymail.com last month. ‘Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer … if they saw how it really was, they would not attack her.’
The source added, ‘He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know? He is a wonderful father though.’
Affleck and Lopez exchanged vows at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
‘In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined,’ Lopez said in her newsletter On the JLo on July 17, 2022. ‘One we dreamed of long ago and one made very real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very, long last.’
The couple again exchanged vows at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022, two years to the day prior to Lopez’s divorce filing Tuesday.
