In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood A-listers Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted sharing a sweet embrace during a brunch in Los Angeles with their blended family. Despite the heartwarming display, sources confirm that the celebrity couple is still moving forward with their divorce.
According to an insider, the purpose of the "fun lunch" was to allow the kids from both Affleck's and Lopez's previous marriages to spend quality time together. While Lopez is making efforts to maintain a friendly relationship with Affleck, it is clear that the divorce proceedings are proceeding as planned.
The exes are said to be working towards sorting out the financial details of their split in an amicable manner. Reports suggest that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they eloped in July 2022, highlighting the potential complexities of their divorce process. However, sources emphasize that Lopez is approaching the situation with selflessness, putting the happiness of their children as her top priority.
Over the weekend, the estranged couple and their children were spotted heading into the Polo Lounge at the prestigious Beverly Hills Hotel. Despite their separation, the former flames were seen holding hands and sharing affectionate moments at a separate table from their kids. Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also made an appearance at the hotel to pick up their shared children after the brunch.
Lopez and Affleck, who filed for divorce in August citing irreconcilable differences, had not been seen together since the filing. The pop sensation decided to mark the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony as the day to officially end their marriage. As they navigate their split, the lack of a prenuptial agreement has the potential to complicate matters, considering their joint ventures throughout their relationship.
During their time together, the esteemed duo shared screen space in multiple films, while Lopez also made strides with her successful cocktail brand, Delola, enhancing her already impressive net worth of $400 million. Meanwhile, Affleck's net worth falls at $150 million lower than his estranged wife's.
As part of their shared assets, the couple had purchased a lavish Beverly Hills mansion, which is now on the market for a staggering $68 million following their separation. While Lopez continues her search for a new home, Affleck wasted no time in securing a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades in July.
With their recent appearance together, the public remains intrigued about the future of their relationship, especially considering the complexities surrounding their finances and asset distribution. As the pages turn in this high-profile divorce, fans and media alike eagerly wait to see how Affleck and Lopez navigate this next chapter of their lives.
