“It is not looking good for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. It feels like they are trying to let the public down easy by dropping hints about the marriage ending but not yet officially announcing it,” Jacqueline said in a statement to Showbiz Cheat Sheet.

He continued, “If it is, in fact, over, I would bet that the terms are already worked out and the papers are already signed. The actual legal part of the divorce will be easy, as they undoubtedly have a tight prenuptial agreement, and it was a short-term marriage.

“It is the court to public opinion which will be the tougher divorce,” Newman added.

Ben and J.Lo considered a postnuptial agreement in 2023 after tying the knot the year prior as they were experiencing tension at the time, according to The Mirror.

“Jen’s got more to lose than Ben, and while she trusts in her gut that he wouldn’t try to take her to the cleaners, there’s a ‘better safe than sorry’ vibe, especially with so much on the line,” the source claimed.

“It’s not uncommon for couples in Hollywood to arrange these types of formal documents a year or two into their marriage. So, they’re being sensible, but it still isn’t an ideal scenario off the back of so much tension and trouble,” the source added.
