Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s highly publicized split is not over yet. Will he have a will after about 6 months? Wouldn’t they be? Despite the divorce drama and promise to separate amicably, tension is rising behind the scenes as they struggle to finalize the details.
The situation has become so controversial that Affleck is reportedly spending more time with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while avoiding his ex-wife at all costs. Their complicated co-parenting scene only adds to the drama, as they both want a smooth transition for their blended families.
Ben Affleck and J. Lo’s divorce delayed
The Jenny from the Block singer filed for divorce without a lawyer on the couple’s second wedding anniversary. Since then, the two have been largely spending time apart and despite their efforts to present an amicable split, they have rarely been seen together. A source told In Touch that the situation has become “increasingly tense and argumentative,” with Affleck opting to spend more time with his ex-wife instead of addressing the ongoing divorce.
Lopez “feels fair and disappointed,” believing that Affleck should meet his demands, but firmly believes that he has been fair and that Lopez is intentionally prolonging the process.

“It’s been six months since she filed and nothing has been resolved, so it doesn’t seem like they’re any closer to finalizing the divorce,” the source said. The insider added, “They both said they wanted to do it amicably and even talked a good game about wanting to intentionally separate, but that plan seems to be falling apart as they Not being able to agree on how to divide things up, that’s definitely having an impact on things.”
The logic of the divorce makes sense because the couple entered their marriage on unequal footing, Lopez’s net worth of $400 million was far greater than Affleck’s $150 million, and there was no prenup. “She’s worth more than twice as much as him, so it’s especially hard for him not to think of her as vindictive and greedy,” the source said. “They both say they’re desperate to avoid more drama, but the longer this drags on, the worse it’s going to get.”

JLo asks Affleck to spend more time on co-parenting
On the other hand, the struggle to finalize their divorce seems inevitable as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck deal with their complicated co-parenting situation. Affleck and JLo have five children in total, including Affleck’s three children with Garner: Violet, 19, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, and Lopez’s twins Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
According to reports, Lopez is encouraging Ben to prioritize their blended family scenario, “because the situation is so new, and it’s important that they all get off to a good start after the divorce, and just establish a pattern. ” But the situation remains tense as they work out their differences, with the Accountant 2 star opting to spend more time with his ex-wife.
However, while the former lovebirds are no longer romantically involved, they were still spotted spending time with their respective families at school events and family gatherings recently. Sources suggest that these positive aspects of their relationship are here to stay. “They have every intention of staying connected,” a source tells Page Six. To keep their families together, the former couple has been attending family-themed events together, like brunch in Beverly Hills. The source emphasized that “they remain close to each other’s children” and consider themselves a blended family in many ways.
