Jennifer Lopez is reportedly pursuing financial retribution from Ben Affleck, aiming at his $150 million wealth following their extravagant life together.
Sources suggest that the singer of “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” believes she deserves reimbursement for shouldering most of their expenses during their brief marriage.
Despite having her own fortune of $400 million, Lopez is resolute about claiming her part from Affleck.
Insiders disclose that Affleck, known for his thrifty ways, frequently voiced concerns about the expenses tied to their elite lifestyle, leaving Lopez to handle the financial burden.
“Jennifer paid for a significant portion of their marital expenses,” a source informed RadarOnline.com. “She’s tallying up all those costs for private jets, hotels, meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas.
“The majority of the living costs were covered by her. She also contributed the most for the $60 million mansion they purchased.”
This financial discrepancy has fueled Lopez’s pursuit for compensation. The alleged separation of the couple after merely two years of marriage has highlighted how much Affleck supposedly leaned on Lopez financially.
“She’s asking for a detailed breakdown of her expenses versus his and is demanding a refund of all the money she ‘invested’,” the insider stated.
The Conclusion of an Opulent Era
Rumors about Lopez planning to claim half of Affleck’s fortune surfaced after she spent the Fourth of July alone in the Hamptons, with Affleck absent.
Even though both were spotted wearing their wedding rings, sources suggest that their marriage has been deteriorating for months and a divorce is on the horizon.
Lopez seemed to subtly jab at Affleck by commemorating the anniversary of her 2021 song “Cambia el Paso” on Instagram.
In the video, she sang, “All she wanna do is just dance, dance, dance, dance.”
The post, shared days prior to their second wedding anniversary on July 16, appeared to emphasize her autonomy and strength.
Entering a Legal Battle
Insiders close to Lopez suggest that she feels deceived and is prepared for a tough negotiation in the divorce process.
A source mentioned, “She is not the one who abandoned the marriage and is feeling deeply hurt and determined to seek retribution.”
“Had he remained committed to the marriage, she would have been tolerant. However, he left her, and ultimately, Jennifer always seeks retaliation.”
As Lopez readies herself for a legal confrontation, it remains to be seen how Affleck will handle her requests.
The evolving conflict between these prominent figures in Hollywood is expected to captivate the public’s interest in the following months.
