Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially reached a divorce settlement, marking the end of their rekindled romance less than five months after Jennifer filed to dissolve their two-year marriage. Despite the split, the former couple has handled the process amicably, ensuring a smooth and swift resolution.
According to TMZ, Jennifer and Ben will each retain the earnings they individually acquired from various projects during their marriage.
Ben’s stake in Artists Equity, the production company he co-founded with longtime friend Matt Damon in November 2022—just four months after he and Jennifer tied the knot—was reportedly left untouched.
One of the biggest questions surrounding their split remains the fate of their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which has been sitting on the market for months.
The property, which was meant to be their dream home, is yet to find a buyer, and it remains unclear how they will divide the asset. Meanwhile, Jennifer also plans to officially drop Affleck from her last name once the divorce is finalized on February 20.

Although the couple spent the holidays apart, they seemed in good spirits as they chatted outside, showing no signs of animosity.
The pair, who first dated in the early 2000s before calling off their engagement, famously rekindled their romance nearly two decades later.
