Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly finalising their divorce just two years after tying the knot.
The former power couple haven’t been seen together in months which has only fuelled split rumours. Suspicions rose when the Batman star was seen splashing the cash on J-Lo’s birthday while the hitmaker celebrated her big day without him.
The 51-year-old actor invested in a new $20.5million (£16.3million) home in the Pacific Palisades, which has since been dubbed his “bachelor pad”. Meanwhile the Jenny From the Block singer finalised the sale of her four-bedroom New York City Penthouse on the same day.

At the time, it was claimed that his bachelor pad investment was a “stab in the heart” for the mum-of-two. Meanwhile, recent reports suggest the Good Will Hunting star and J-Lo are going ahead with their divorce after trying for several weeks to work things out between them.
Sources told the MailOnline that their documents are said to be “finalized, but not yet turned in”. They told the publication: “They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them.
“At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t.” According to the sources, the couple couldn’t “come to a compromise”.

Ben and Jen rekindled their romance back in 2021, 17 years after they called off their first engagement. The pair first met while shooting the hit film Gigliin 2001 and dated from 2001-2004.
In recent weeks, they have listed their shared Beverly Hills just one year after purchasing the lavish home. It boasts 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 12-car garage with room to park 80 cars.
The extravagant home also featured a 5,000 square-foot guest penthouse, caretakes house and a two-bedroom guard house, as well as a pool and an indoor sports complex. J-Lo is thought to have been “horrified” after the award-winning actor reportedly cleared out his belongings.

Fuelling split rumours earlier this month, Ben looked annoyed with his wife’s decision to spend their anniversary solo. He was snapped in L.A looking noticeable annoyed while the Hustlers star was seen on the other side of the country cycling through the streets with an enormous smile on her face.
Meanwhile, J-Lo enjoyed a Bridgerton-themed birthday party without her other half by her side. Her friends and family were all in attendance while Ben remained in Los Angeles without her.
