The fairytale reunion of Bennifer 2.0 appears to have crumbled. Just 2 years after their lavish Las Vegas wedding, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly on the verge of a split, with things potentially turning contentious. The couple hasn't been seen together in over a month, and sources indicate the marriage may be over. A new report suggests Lopez is seeking a substantial portion of Affleck's wealth in the divorce settlement.
According to a source from Radar Online, Jennifer Lopez is seeking ‘half of Ben's nearly $150 million fortune,’ despite her own wealth estimated at around $400 million. This move is viewed by some as a means for her to assert herself, given her assumed greater financial responsibility during their brief marriage.
According to a knowledgeable source, Lopez reportedly spent more money during their brief time together. The insider alleges that Lopez, who recently canceled her expensive Los Angeles residency, shouldered most of the financial responsibilities. They describe Ben Affleck as being frugal and often complained about Lopez's spending habits. To avoid disagreements, the determined star covered most expenses to maintain their lavish lifestyle.
‘One lesser-known fact is Jennifer covered much of their marital expenses, and now she feels he owes her,’ the source claimed. ‘She’s tallying up all those private jet bills she charged, the hotels and meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas. The high cost of living was on her dime. She also paid for the majority of that $60 million mansion they purchased,’ they added. ‘Jennifer feels Ben took a lot of money from her, at least that’s her perspective,’ the source said.
As the situation unfolds, Lopez's relatives reportedly advised her to move on from Affleck, believing she shouldn't invest more effort in someone who quickly gave up on their marriage.
While it's unclear whether their issues stem from financial matters or personal grievances, the couple, who reignited their romance and wed in 2022, appears to be struggling as they spend time apart. Affleck has been seen without his wedding ring back at his production house, while Lopez, after spending the Fourth of July solo in the Hamptons, is prioritizing self-care and her career, engaging with her followers on Instagram.
