The 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' singer and the 'Argo' actor reportedly didn't sign a prenuptial agreement before their 2022 wedding, putting their multi-million dollar earnings and assets during their two-year marriage at stake.

AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce has potentially significant financial implications due to the absence of a prenuptial agreement, according to TMZ. Lopez's divorce filing does not mention any such agreement, and sources confirm that none exists. This means that all income and property acquired by the couple during their marriage is considered "community property," jointly owned by both spouses.
During the couple's brief union, Lopez starred and produced several films, including "Shotgun Wedding", "The Mother" and "Atlas", while also launching her cocktail brand, Delola. Her net worth is estimated to be $400 million.
Affleck, with a reported net worth of $150 million, also worked on various projects, including "The Accountant 2", "Air" and "Hypnotic".
According to Lopez's filing, she has waived her right to spousal support and requested that the judge deny any such support for Affleck. The lack of a prenuptial agreement has raised concerns about the division of the couple's assets, especially given their substantial earnings and the multi-million dollar mansion they purchased in 2022.
Sources had earlier reported that Affleck had "come to his senses" about his marriage to Lopez and was seeking an end to their relationship. Rumors of an impending divorce began in May, and the couple recently listed their marital home for sale.
Lopez filed for divorce on the same day of their second wedding anniversary, following months of speculation about their separation. The filing marks Lopez's fourth divorce and Affleck's second.
