Inside Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s $550M divorce: No prenup

Hollywood power couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially called it quits, but unlike some messy celebrity breakups, the pair is keeping things amicable.

Despite their $61 million Los Angeles dream home and a complex web of shared assets, the duo has managed to prioritize their children and maintain civility.

The separation was finalized just five months after Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary. Sources close to the couple reveal that discussions about their split began as early as April, long before the news became public. According to insiders, J.Lo initially held out hope for a reconciliation but eventually came to terms with the reality of their situation over the summer.

No Prenup, No Drama

Surprisingly, the couple entered their second marriage without a prenuptial agreement, a rarity among high-profile relationships. “They honestly felt they didn’t need one,” shared a source. However, the absence of a prenup didn’t complicate matters. Both parties agreed to keep their respective earnings from the separation date, split legal fees, and waived spousal support.

Affleck, 52, will retain his stake in Artists Equity, the production company he co-founded with Matt Damon, which produced Lopez’s recent film Unstoppable. Meanwhile, Lopez, 55, remains focused on her music and acting career.

The $61 Million Home in Limbo

One unresolved piece of their shared life is the couple’s $61 million mansion in Los Angeles. The sprawling estate has been on the market for months, and its sale could be key to helping the pair fully move on. During the L.A. wildfires, Affleck temporarily evacuated his bachelor pad and stayed at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home, but sources say he’s eager to move forward.

“When the house is sold, they hope to stay friends,” shared an insider, emphasizing the importance of maintaining harmony for their blended family of five children. Lopez and Affleck each brought kids from previous relationships into their union, and their bond remains a priority.

A Focus on Family

Sources close to the former couple say their decision to keep the separation amicable stems from their mutual desire to shield their children from unnecessary drama. “Divorce is never easy,” the insider admitted, “but Ben and Jen insisted that it stay civil for the sake of the kids.”

While their love story—rekindled nearly 20 years after their first engagement—didn’t have a fairytale ending, Lopez and Affleck are determined to ensure that their breakup doesn’t overshadow their shared responsibilities as parents.
