The rumors turned out to be true: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially divorcing. When news of J.Lo and Affleck’s marriage surfaced, everyone assumed that the couple had planned ahead and signed a prenuptial agreement, but that was not the case. At least, that’s what sources close to the couple claim. It seems that the former lovers may face a “fun” period of asset division ahead.
If Ben and Jennifer indeed did not sign a prenuptial agreement, all their money and assets earned during the marriage (from July 2022 to April 2024) are considered joint property.
For example, in 2023 alone, Affleck earned $38 million, which placed him 9th on Forbes’ list of highest-paid actors for the year. As we can see, $38 million is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jennifer’s estimated net worth for 2024 is $400 million. Additionally, the couple purchased a $60 million home, which is considered jointly acquired property.
It appears that J.Lo is not interested in her ex’s money. In the divorce papers, the artist stated that she is waiving spousal support from Affleck and is also requesting him to do the same.
