JLo paying more for Beverly Hills house could complicate already tense Ben Affleck divorce negotiations: Report | Hollywood

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s initial no-prenup arrangement is conjuring up stormy clouds of tension in an already chaotic divorce. In August 2024, the singer-actress filed for divorce from her estranged partner, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. The year is almost nearing its end, and somehow, the majority of these months have all been about Bennifer 2.0’s failure.  Ben Affleck and cast member Jennifer Lopez attend a premiere for the film “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” in Los Angeles, California, U.S. February 13, 2024.
