Ben Affleckand Jennifer Lopez may have shared a PDA-filled brunch with their children recently, but reports confirm that the Hollywood power couple is still proceeding with their divorce. According to a source, despite their friendly public appearances, they are “working out financial details amicably” and focusing on their children during this challenging time.
Last Saturday, the former couple was spotted at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, where they were seen with their blended family-Affleck’s children Seraphina (15) and Samuel (12), and Lopez’s twins Max and Emme (16). Although they were photographed walking closely together and reportedly shared moments of affection, insiders say their divorce is still in motion.
The outing was not just about Lopez and Affleck spending time together. The event allowed their children, who reportedly get along well, to bond. “Happy kids are her priority,” a source close to Lopez revealed. This sentiment underscores why the couple is committed to staying amicable despite their ongoing separation.
They are still moving forward with the divorce, but [Lopez] is trying to keep things friendly for the kids,” the insider told People. This is especially important as both stars navigate complex financial and legal negotiations, especially given their lack of a prenuptial agreement.
The couple, who eloped in July 2022 without a prenuptial agreement, face the challenge of dividing their substantial wealth. Under California law, they are required to split all income and assets acquired during their marriage. Lopez’s net worth, bolstered by her successful ventures like her cocktail brand Delola, reportedly sits at $400 million, while Affleck’s is around $250 million.
The two have already begun selling assets, including a Beverly Hills mansion listed for $68 million. Meanwhile, Affleck has moved forward, purchasing a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades.
Despite their impending divorce, the couple continues to spend time together with their children, putting their focus on family dynamics. As they work through the financial and legal complexities of their split, their public appearances suggest they are committed to co-parenting, even as their marriage comes to an end.
