Jennifer Lopez was spotted relaxing at a local spa near Rodeo Drive on Wednesday
Before continuing to search for a new home in Los Angeles.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the “I’m Real” hitmaker is seen wearing a pair of fashion rings on her left hand, one of which is on her ring finger.
There was speculation that it was the platinum wedding band that ex-husband Ben Affleck gave Lopez at their 2022 wedding. However, it appears that the ring is not her engagement ring.
In the ongoing divorce saga between Lopez and Affleck, a potential complication emerged when news broke that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement ahead of their impromptu wedding in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
This supervision can lead to difficult situations when they deal with legal issues related to separation.
Following her decision to file for divorce on August 20, the 55-year-old “Hustlers” actress is reportedly determined to fight the divorce settlement process after more than two years of marriage, according to insiders who spoke to In Touch magazine.
Lopez is said to be ready to go all out in the upcoming legal battle.
According to the newspaper’s insider, “She already felt cheated by Ben. Writing him a big check was just the final insult, and she couldn’t just hand it over to him.”
The couple now face the prospect of splitting their joint assets.

Attorney Andrew Zashin, who spoke to The US Sun, stressed that any income accumulated “over the course of a marriage can be classified as either ‘marital property’ or ‘community property’, with each individual holding an equal share”.
Given Lopez and Affleck’s high status and massive fortunes, there’s the potential for major financial repercussions. It’s worth noting that the “Jenny from the Block” singer’s net worth is estimated at around $400 million, far surpassing the “Good Will Hunting” actor’s estimated net worth of around $150 million.
According to In Touch’s source, “It’s now very clear that she can’t avoid paying Ben half of what she made during their marriage, which clearly doesn’t make her happy.”
Given Lopez’s huge fortune, it is believed that she will vigorously defend her rights if the divorce proceedings do not go well.
The newspaper’s insider added that Lopez is willing to prolong the legal process with her abundant financial resources and wants to allocate the money to her legal team rather than her ex-husband.
They added that the “All I Have” singer has allegedly authorized her team to delay the trial at all costs, despite the possibility of increased fees.
Lopez was reportedly frustrated that Affleck was willing to take money from her, especially since he had broken his promise.
“This really proves he’s not the man she thought he was,” the insider added.
The insider also revealed the “Gone Girl” star is downplaying the financial aspect of the situation, though there’s no denying it signals a significant payday for him.
Affleck reportedly rationalized the payment by claiming he was entitled to every penny for putting up with her and all the trouble that came with it.
