Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are making headlines again, this time for the careful steps they’re reportedly taking as they navigate their split. Despite their separation, insiders reveal that Affleck is working hard to stay on amicable terms with Lopez, especially given that the couple never signed a prenuptial agreement when they wed in 2022.
An insider told Daily Mail that, in light of their decision to part ways just two years into their marriage, Affleck is aiming to stay in Lopez’s good graces. “Ben is correct to turn on the charm,” shared the source, explaining that the absence of a prenup has made it even more crucial for him to avoid a contentious divorce. “He doesn’t want to get crucified in the divorce deal,” they added.
Financially, the stakes are high. Lopez and Affleck have both amassed impressive wealth, having been one of Hollywood’s most powerful couples, which only adds to the potential complications of their divorce. According to the insider, they’re both motivated to prevent a public feud that could damage their public image and impact their brands. “The numbers are off the scale, and the lack of a prenup doesn’t help things,” the source noted, suggesting that both are eager to keep things as civil as possible.
Affleck’s efforts to maintain a positive relationship with Lopez have even spilled into his public statements. The Argo director recently praised Lopez’s work in her latest film, Unstoppable, calling her performance “spectacular.” This praise is reportedly part of Affleck’s approach to ensuring their divorce doesn’t overshadow Lopez’s accomplishments or the buzz around her projects. As per RadarOnline, Affleck “wants Unstoppable to be a major hit” and wishes Lopez to receive all the recognition she deserves.
The source went on to explain that Affleck’s approach is grounded in respect and admiration for his estranged wife’s talent. “He’s a filmmaker and Oscar winner himself, so he recognizes her talent and has always believed she would be incredible,” the insider said, noting that Affleck genuinely supports Lopez’s career success, even as they work to separate their lives.
While the couple’s decision to divorce may have surprised fans, it seems clear that both Lopez and Affleck are doing their best to avoid a messy split. Affleck’s approach to staying supportive, despite their breakup, reflects a desire to protect not only their public images but also the amicable dynamic they’ve maintained.
