Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on the brink of announcing one of Hollywood’s most expensive divorces, according to a close friend of the couple.
The friend disclosed to Page Six that the couple’s marriage has been deteriorating for some time, and they have now reached a point where their separation is both inevitable and final.
The source revealed that the pair’s relationship, which initially seemed destined for a fairy-tale ending, has been plagued by unresolved issues.
“They got caught up in the moment,” the friend said, reflecting on the grandiosity of their wedding. “Jennifer had wanted this wedding—the gowns, the friends, all the trappings and trimmings—for decades.” Despite the elaborate celebration, the relationship has failed to withstand the test of time.
After reconciling with their past, Lopez and Affleck have come to a mutual understanding about their future. “They’ve turned the page on all the unfinished business of 20 plus years ago,” the friend explained.
“They’ve seen things through to the end and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul. No further unanswered questions. They’ve seen all they need to see, and it’s over.”
This finality marks a significant shift for the couple, who once seemed to have rekindled their romance with a renewed sense of purpose.
The impending divorce is set to be one of the most elaborate and costly in Hollywood history due to the couple’s immense wealth.
Both Lopez and Affleck are among the entertainment industry’s highest earners, and their split is expected to reflect their substantial financial stakes.
With Lopez’s global success in music and acting, alongside Affleck’s lucrative career in film, the divorce proceedings are anticipated to involve complex and high-profile negotiations.
Although the official announcement of their divorce is expected by the end of summer, the couple has already initiated steps to divide their considerable assets.

They have listed their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion for sale, a move that is just one part of their extensive asset division. Additionally, various artworks and other joint purchases are also being sold off as part of their separation process.
“Ben has already found his new home and Jen is about to choose hers. It’s totally decided and there is no interest, inclination or reason to back out,” the source revealed.
This statement underscores the finality of their decision, with both stars fully committed to their separate futures.
As the world watches, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck prepare for what could become a historic and high-profile divorce.
With their immense wealth and public prominence, the dissolution of their marriage is set to be one of the most closely followed and expensive separations in Hollywood’s recent history.
