Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Divorce Could Get Messy Over Production Company
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been spotted out and about together since Lopez filed for divorce. While their interactions still appear tense, they seem amicable enough. Fans hoping for an amicable end to the short-lived marriage might not get their wish, though. While they appear to be moving as a team for the sake of the kids involved in this mess, things could be getting messy behind the scenes. Lopez and Affleck are said to be fighting over the production company Affleck founded with Matt Damon.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly battling over his production company
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce might get messy as they attempt to split up assets. While the marriage was short-lived, the couple made significant financial moves during their short union. They purchased an extravagant home they are now trying to unload, and Affleck founded a production company with his longtime friend, Matt Damon. According to sources, that production company might be worth battling over.
An insider spoke to InTouch Magazine that the couple doesn’t see eye-to-eye regarding who will benefit from future projects for Artists Equity, the production company Affleck founded with Damon. The source claims Affleck doesn’t think Lopez should profit from future projects. She, however, might see things differently.
While the source said things might be complicated, Lopez and Affleck are both on the same page regarding getting the divorce over and done. They allege the former flames would like to resolve the issue quickly and move on with their lives. For now, they are still working through the details. Most importantly, they must sell off the property they bought together. However, the sale of the $60 million mansion will likely take some time.
Does Jennifer Lopez have a right to profit from the production company?
Whether Lopez has a right to be involved with the production company or profit from it will largely depend on the stipulations of their divorce and whether they really opted to wed without a prenuptial agreement. Assuming the duo didn’t have an agreement before tying the knot, Lopez may be entitled to part of the company.
Deadline first reported that Damon and Affleck founded a production company in November 2022. Affleck and Lopez married in July 2022, months before Artists Equity was founded. Under California laws, Affleck’s stake in the production company could be considered community property. It could take months or even years for the divorce to be finalized, and fans may never know the final stipulations of the settlement. For now, Affleck and Lopez are figuring out a way to get along.
