After what seemed like a fairytale reunion, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship appears to be hitting a rough patch, with reports suggesting their marriage may be on the rocks just two years after their lavish Las Vegas wedding. Sources claim that Lopez, having covered a significant portion of their expenses during their time together, is now seeking half of Affleck’s nearly $150 million fortune in the impending divorce settlement.
The couple, who have not been seen together in over a month, are reportedly living separately. Affleck has relocated to Brentwood near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children, while Lopez remains in her LA home with her children. According to insiders, Lopez allegedly bore the brunt of their financial responsibilities, including the majority of their living expenses and even the purchase of their $60 million mansion.
“Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses,” one source disclosed. “She’s now tallying up everything from private jet bills to hotel stays, meals, clothes, and more, claiming that Affleck, known for his frugality, benefited greatly from her financial contributions.”
Despite Lopez’s net worth reportedly exceeding $400 million, insiders suggest that her demand for a substantial portion of Affleck’s fortune may be more about principles than financial necessity. Allegedly, she feels owed for the financial strain she took on during their relationship.
While the exact reasons behind their potential split remain undisclosed, Lopez has been focusing on self-care and work, notably after spending a solo Fourth of July in the Hamptons. Affleck, seen without his wedding ring, has returned to his professional commitments. The couple, who reignited their romance and tied the knot in 2022, now face uncertain times as their relationship appears to have soured.
Whether it’s about money or other issues, the situation for Bennifer 2.0 seems far from the fairytale ending they envisioned.
