Jennifer Lopez Seeks Half of Ben Affleck’s $150M Fortune Amidst Divorce Drama
Jennifer Lopez, the renowned “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer, is reportedly demanding half of Ben Affleck’s $150 million fortune as their relationship hits a rocky patch. Sources close to the situation revealed that Lopez is seeking reimbursement for covering the majority of the couple’s expenses during their marriage.
The glamorous rekindling of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s romance, popularly dubbed Bennifer 2.0, seems to be heading towards a tumultuous end. After their stunning Las Vegas wedding just two years ago, the couple has not been photographed together for over a month, sparking rumors of an impending split. Reports suggest that Lopez, 54, is demanding a significant portion of Affleck’s wealth as their marriage deteriorates.
Insiders disclosed to RadarOnline.com that Lopez, despite her substantial net worth of $400 million, is pursuing a hefty financial settlement from Affleck. According to sources, the pop icon feels entitled to this compensation after shouldering most of their lavish lifestyle expenses.
“Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her,” a source claimed. “She’s adding up all those private jet bills she put 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. Ben took so much money out of her, at least that’s what she’s saying.”
The split seems particularly contentious, with Lopez reportedly feeling that Affleck, 51, took advantage of her financially. The actor’s frugality was a point of contention, with sources describing him as a “cheapskate” who frequently grumbled about spending money, prompting Lopez to cover more expenses to avoid his complaints.
Adding to the drama, the couple has been living separately, with their shared Beverly Hills mansion back on the market. Affleck is renting a place in Brentwood near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children, while Lopez remains in her Los Angeles home with her twins, Max and Emme.
Lopez’s demand for half of Affleck’s fortune is seen by some as a form of revenge, driven by her realization of how much she had spent during their marriage. “If he had stayed in the marriage like a good boy, she wouldn’t have minded. But he abandoned her and ultimately, Jennifer always gets payback and now she’s ready to play hardball,” an insider revealed.
The alleged split and Lopez’s financial demands have come to light following a series of incidents that highlighted their strained relationship. For instance, Affleck recently gifted Lopez a pair of Louis Vuitton x Vans sneakers worth $300, which she found unimpressive. This led to a prank involving a fire extinguisher, further showcasing the couple’s growing discord.
Rumors of their impending divorce gained traction when Lopez spent the Fourth of July alone in the Hamptons, while Affleck was nowhere in sight. Despite both being seen wearing their wedding bands, sources claim their marriage has been “over for months.”
As Lopez celebrated the anniversary of her 2021 song “Cambia el Paso” on Instagram, it seemed like a subtle nod to her current state of independence. Meanwhile, Affleck was seen returning to his production house without his wedding ring.
Whether Lopez’s demands are about money or revenge, the situation for the couple, who rekindled their romance and married in 2022, appears grim as they continue to navigate their separate lives. Affleck’s reluctance to spend and Lopez’s financial contributions have only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans wondering how this high-profile divorce will unfold.
