Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are currently navigating their divorce proceedings, with reports suggesting that Affleck is being extremely careful not to give Lopez any reason to complicate the process. The couple, who did not sign a prenuptial agreement, are reportedly working through the division of a massive £500 million in assets, adding pressure to an already delicate situation.
Sources close to the Argo star say he is treading carefully to avoid any unnecessary drama that could disrupt their split. The lack of a prenup means that the division of assets is more complex, and Affleck is said to be keen on staying on good terms with Lopez to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.
Recently, rumors surfaced that Affleck was dating Kick Kennedy, but close associates of the actor were quick to dismiss these claims. According to Heat magazine, the denial wasn’t just about quashing gossip, but also a strategic move to prevent any backlash from Lopez. Affleck is reportedly “pretty much living in fear” of how Lopez might react to any new developments in his personal life during the divorce.
An insider revealed, “He really wants to start having fun again, and he’s got so many hot women blowing up his phone, but he’s putting a halt on dating plans.” The source added that Affleck is extremely cautious about moving on too quickly, as it could potentially provoke Lopez and cause delays in finalizing their divorce. “He can’t risk upsetting Jen. From his point of view, it’s frustrating that he’s being held back from having fun, but he can’t risk it,” the tipster shared.
Affleck’s primary goal is to expedite the divorce process and avoid any unnecessary conflict. “He’s hoping she’ll want to wrap up the divorce quickly, but she could easily drag it out if he does anything to trigger her,” the insider added.
As the divorce continues, Affleck is focusing on maintaining a low profile and avoiding any actions that could cause tension. Meanwhile, both he and Lopez remain in the public eye, but for now, Affleck is prioritizing a smooth separation over any potential new romantic relationships.
