Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck played nice despite going their separate ways last year.
“Jennifer and Ben are officially divorced and the only bright spot is that they never got ugly. Many thought that their lawyers would do the nasty nitpicking on behalf of each of them, but they both decided to leave the marriage as amicably as possible,” a source dished of the duo who split in April 2024.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split in 2024.
The insider said that there "was a lot of stake," including “the mega mansion in Bel Air, jewelry, cars, furnishings and pricey art they purchased together,” but the pair, who were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004 and reconciled in 2021, were determined to not let things get tense.
“Which is why Jennifer kept her $5 million dollar ring and a few other things,” the source added of her engagement ring.
“Ben and Jennifer were not about to nickel and dime each other, they respected each other way too much for that,” the insider concluded. “I’m not saying that it never crossed their minds, it just wasn’t worth it. They have too much history together. They actually parted as friends.”
The A-listers reconciled in 2021 only to call it quits a few years later.
As OK! previously reported, the A-listers settled their divorce in early January.
Per court documents, Lopez, 55, will be the sole owner of her “clothing, jewelry, and miscellaneous personal effects in her possession, custody or control.”
