Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reportedly planned out their divorce before the pop star officially filed to end their rollercoaster marriage.
Sources claimed Affleck 'never looked back' after he moved out of the couple's marital home.
The Marry Me actress filed for divorce on Tuesday, August 20, coincidentally on their second wedding anniversary.
The decision to part ways comes as a shock to many, especially considering the lack of legal counsel and a prenuptial agreement in place. However, the estranged couple allegedly went through "all the details" of their split.
According to sources, Jennifer "finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would file, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision".
Ben Affleck dishes a major snub to Jennifer Affleck amid their divorce battle.
One significant financial issue in the separation of the Hollywood power couple revolves around their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, purchased just last year.
Following extensive renovations, the spacious property was listed on the market for $68 million in July.
With no prenup to guide the division of assets, handling such high-value properties becomes a critical aspect of the divorce proceedings.
The source explained: "There's really nothing else to divide. One person doesn't want more than the other. They both came in with significant assets of their own."
The couple listed their marital home for sale in June, a little over a year after they purchased the $60million estate in May 2023.
Lopez cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce filing, which explicitly includes a request to deny spousal support to Affleck, despite his estimated net worth of $150 million.
Jennifer has a reported $400 million net worth and has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20 million self-funded project This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which documents her and the actor's rekindled romance.
She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and was set to embark on a world tour to promote her latest album, This Is Me... Now. However, J.Lo ended up canceling several tour dates weeks before her first show so she could "focus on family."

The filing also indicates Lopez's desire to revert to her previous surname, a stark contrast to the enthusiastic embrace of the Affleck name just two years prior.
According to People, the pop star felt the time was right to start moving on with her life.
A source told the outlet: "[She knows] it's time to move on' for various reasons."
"She's very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn't given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage", the insider added. "He hasn't shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It's gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself."
