Here's Why Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck's Divorce Could 'Get Ugly'

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in Las Vegas in 2022, propelling financial entanglements as part of an evolving divorce settlement agreement.

Two years and one divorce later, the exes' assets are currently up in the air as they proceed with legalities pertaining to their split. According to Page Six, the entertainment icons' divorce has the potential "get ugly" as they enter the mediation stage with disagreements over how their finances should be divided.

Upon filing for divorce on August 20th, exactly two years to the date of their extravagant Georgia wedding ceremony, Lopez listed their joint assets as "unknown," having yet to reach a settlement on the sale of their Beverly Hills mansion among other financial matters. Without a prenup in place, money earned from each party during their union is considered "community property" by California law, regardless of who earned what.

Page Six mentioned that the former pair took on a handful of projects that earned substantial revenue during their marriage, including starring in and producing several films. The "On The Floor" hitmaker also fronted the launch of her ready-made cocktail brand, Delola, amid their second year as husband and wife and reportedly obtained a higher net worth than that of her former Argo beau by $250 million from 2023 to 2024.

But that's not all.

Aside from film debuts and liquor campaigns, both Affleck and Lopez received millions in endorsement deals throughout their marriage, contributing to assets currently considered "community property" due to an apparent lack of legal documentation.

Lopez and Affleck have yet to publicly commented on their split as their divorce cements.
