Jennifer Lopez has the ability to compete with Matt Damon for a share of the production firm owned by Ben Affleck, her former husband, a new report claimed. Jennifer, who is 55 years old, and Ben, who is 52 years old, do not have to worry about the custody arrangements for their children because they do not share children together. However, the former couple still has a lot to cope with in the midst of their divorce.
In her divorce petition, the singer known for her hit "On the Floor" disclosed that she and her husband do not have a prenuptial agreement. This implies that everything they obtained during their two years of marriage is considered to be communal property. There is a good chance that there will be an equal distribution of the assets gained throughout their marriage, including any professional activities.
It was in November 2022 that Ben and Matt, both 53 years old, established their production firm, Artists Equity (AE). This was four months after the "Gone Girl" actor had tied the knot with Jennifer, which had taken place in July 2022. According to an unnamed source who spoke with TMZ, Matt might become engaged in the divorce process because he is an investor in the company. This is due to the fact that the couple was married at the time.
Jennifer may be financially entitled to a portion of the earnings that AE has received as a result of her work on films such as "Air," "Unstoppable," and "The Accountant 2," according to the unidentified insider who provided further explanation.
While this is going on, Ben will most certainly have a financial interest in the projects that Jennifer worked on throughout their marriage. Some of these projects include "This Is Me... Now," "Shotgun Wedding," and "Atlas."
Together, Jennifer, Ben, and Matt contributed to the production of the upcoming movie "Unstoppable," which is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival by the month of September. During the production of the sports drama, Ben and Matt functioned as producers, and Jennifer played a supporting part in the show. It has been reported by PEOPLE Magazine that Ben does not intend to attend the premiere of the film, despite the fact that he is the producer of the picture.
In May, Jennifer and Ben's marital problems were brought to light for the first time when In Touch Weekly published an exclusive article stating that they were "on the verge of getting a divorce." After then, the two individuals left a number of hints that indicated they were no longer together. In addition to the fact that they did not wear their wedding rings during a few public appearances, the couple also spent the majority of the summer apart from one another.
When she filed for divorce on August 20, the actress from "Wedding Planner" eventually brought to light the fact that their marriage had come to an end. Jennifer, who did not have an attorney present when she filed the application, stated that the date of their separation was April 26, 2024, and she cited "irreconcilable differences" as the basis for their breakup. Furthermore, she demanded that neither she nor Ben receive spousal support, and that her last name be reverted back to her maiden name. She also requested that her name be retired.
According to an undisclosed informant who spoke exclusively to In Touch Weekly, Ben, who is a father of three, is ready to begin dating again. This is despite the fact that both Ben and Jennifer have remained silent about their disagreement.
“Even before they separated, Ben complained about the state of their intimacy. So there’s no doubt he’s raring to get back out there and date. [Ben isn’t] going to pull the trigger until he’s divorced,” [though] there are plenty of women interested in him,” the tipster said.
While everything is going on, another mole informed In Touch Weekly that Jennifer is not yet prepared for her ex-boyfriend to move on with his life. “J. Lo has put Ben on notice that if he reactivates his Raya profile or goes too far down the path of chasing tail, the gloves will come off,” the spy explained.
