As per reports, Affleck, currently filming The Accountant 2, is residing in a rented Brentwood home closer to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner and their children. Meanwhile, Lopez remains in her Los Angeles home with her twins, Max and Emme. According to Radar Online, Lopez might be seeking a significant portion of Affleck's estimated USD 150 million fortune despite her own wealth exceeding USD 400 million. Some speculate this could be a response to Lopez taking on more financial responsibility during their brief marriage.
As per a source familiar with the situation, Lopez allegedly shouldered the majority of the financial burden during her brief reconciliation with Ben Affleck. The insider claims Affleck was often critical of Lopez's spending habits, painting him as a penny-pincher. In an effort to avoid discord, Lopez reportedly covered most expenses, including private jets, hotels, meals, clothing and even contributed significantly to the purchase of their $60 million mansion.
