Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez: Divorce Update After PDA-Filled Brunch

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly still on track with their divorce despite a recent public display of affection during a family brunch in Los Angeles.

A source revealed that the couple, who were seen kissing during the outing, are maintaining an amicable approach to their separation. "They all came together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out," the insider shared. "Lopez is making an effort to be friendly with Ben, but they are still moving forward with the divorce."

Financial matters are being handled cordially between the exes, with reports indicating that they did not sign a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in July 2022.

"A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer is prioritizing the well-being of their children," the source continued. "Seeing the kids happy together brings her joy, and that remains her focus."

The blended family, including Affleck's children Seraphina and Samuel, and Lopez's twins Max and Emme, enjoyed a meal at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel over the weekend. The group was captured walking into the hotel together, with the children leading the way.

According to an insider, Lopez and Affleck were seen holding hands and sharing kisses while seated at a separate table from their kids. Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also made an appearance at the hotel to pick up their children after the brunch.

The former couple, who also share an 18-year-old daughter named Violet, have been navigating their divorce since Lopez filed in August, citing irreconcilable differences. The decision to end their marriage was made on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.

With no prenup in place, the divorce proceedings between Affleck and Lopez could potentially become complicated as they divide their assets. California state law mandates the equitable distribution of income earned during the marriage.

Throughout their time together, the duo collaborated on various film projects, and Lopez launched her successful cocktail brand, Delola, which significantly boosted her net worth to an estimated $400 million.

On the other hand, Affleck's net worth falls below his estranged wife's at $150 million. The couple also co-owned a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, which has been listed for sale at $68 million following their split.

As Lopez continues her search for a new residence, Affleck has already secured a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades. The couple's financial entanglements and shared assets add complexity to their divorce proceedings.
