Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Fail to Settle Divorce After Six Months: ‘It Doesn’t Seem Like They’re Anywhere Close to Finalizing’

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still struggling to finalize their divorce, even after six months. According to a source who spoke to In Touch Weekly, “It’s been six months since JLo filed and nothing has been resolved, it doesn’t seem like they’re anywhere close to finalizing the divorce.”

The ongoing tension has led to increasing stress, with Ben Affleck reportedly choosing to spend more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, instead of engaging with Lopez. Following their split in August 2024, the couple had initially expressed a desire to part ways amicably.

“They both said they wanted to do it amicably and have even talked a good game about wanting to consciously uncouple,” the source explained. However, the insider also noted that their plans for an amicable separation seem to have unraveled, as they can’t agree on how to divide their assets, which has complicated matters.

A second source revealed that Lopez believes Affleck should give in to her demands. “Lopez thinks Ben ought to just give in to all her demands,” the insider shared. However, Affleck has yet to comply, which has reportedly frustrated Lopez. “It infuriates her that he’s trying to come out of this on top when he’s the one that left her high and dry,” the source added.

Lopez feels that at the very least, Affleck should be a gentleman in their divorce. Affleck, however, sees the situation differently. “He thinks he’s been more than fair and JLo is the one purposely dragging this on and nitpicking over little details,” the source explained.

Additionally, the source pointed out that Lopez’s net worth is more than twice that of Affleck’s, making it particularly difficult for him not to see the situation as her being “vindictive and greedy.” Despite their repeated claims of wanting to avoid more drama, the source concluded.

“They both say they’re desperate to avoid more drama, but the longer this drags on, the worse it’s going to get.” The ongoing tension between the two stars suggests that the divorce may continue to be a complicated and contentious matter.
