Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 'planned' their divorce and went 'through all the details' BEFORE singer officially filed

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had 'planned' their divorce before the singer officially filed earlier this week on Tuesday on their second wedding anniversary.

The Atlas actress, 55 - who will attend the premiere of their film Unstoppable without the Oscar winner, 52 - filed for divorce without an attorney and a prenup following only two years of marriage.

However, a source told Us Weekly in an article published on Friday that the estranged couple had previously 'gone through all the details' of their split.

'They had already agreed to these terms before she filed,' the insider continued to the outlet.

Jennifer, 'finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would file, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision.'

A financial issue in regards to their separation is the pair's lavish $60 million Beverly Hills mansion that was purchased last year. 

Following renovations in the spacious property, the home was listed on the market in July for $68 million. 

The source explained, 'There's really nothing else to divide. One person doesn't want more than the other. They both came in with significant assets of their own.'

Lopez cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her petition for divorce - which also includes a request he does not receive spousal support on top of his estimated $150 million net worth.

The star has also sought her old surname back, just two years after gushing about the 'romance' involved in changing her name to Mrs. Affleck.

DailyMail.com has obtained the divorce petition on full and the date of separation has been formally listed as April 26, 2024.

The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in July 2022, insiders have revealed. It marks Jennifer's fourth failed marriage and Ben's second. 

Without a prenup in place, their individual earnings from the last two years, whether it be from film projects or major brand deals, would be community property.

Jennifer, 'finally pulled the trigger because that was their agreement that she would file, and she was the one who ultimately made the decision'; seen in May in L.A. 

Jennifer, who has a reported $400million net worth, has put out four films since marrying Ben, including her $20million self-funded project This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, which documents the couple's rekindled romance.

She launched her Delola cocktail line in 2023 and she was set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album 'This Is Me... Now' but it was canceled weeks before kick off so she could 'focus' on family.

Oscar-winner Ben, who has a reported net worth of $150million, has recently starred in the films Air (2023) and Hypnotic (2023). He also recently wrapped production of a sequel to 2016's The Accountant.

To further complicate things, Jennifer and Ben worked together on the upcoming film, Unstoppable. While Affleck is producing the project alongside Matt Damon, Lopez is among the film's stars.

According a new report from People, it was alleged that Lopez also had a hand in getting Affleck to focus more on his kids.

The site claimed that the Atlas actress motivated the Argo director to be more 'family oriented.'

During their two year marriage - which Ben dropped a clue about months ago - the kids were 'very important to them,' added the insider.

Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

But the way they spent their time with the kids divided them, it was claimed.

While JLo was happy to take the little ones out shopping and to fun events, Affleck preferred to hang out at home.

'They are very different people,' the source added of Affleck and Lopez. 'She's super public and wants to go out, and he's more of an introvert and is happy to hang out at home.'

Meanwhile, Lopez is reportedly feeling 'disappointed and sad' after filing for divorce from Affleck but she knew it was 'time to move on.'

The superstar was engaged to the Hollywood actor Ben in the early 2000s and the pair famously reconciled in 2021 before tying the knot in two ceremonies in 2022.

A new report suggests Jennifer felt the time was right to start moving on with her life. A source told People: '[She knows] it's time to move on' for various reasons.' 

'She's very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn't given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage.'

The insider added, 'He hasn't shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It's gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself.'

The divorce filing came exactly two years after the couple's extravagant second wedding in Georgia on August 20 2022 - and an insider told the publication the significance of the date wasn't lost on Jennifer.

They said: 'She was done waiting and the date she did it speaks a ton... [The divorce filing] gives her control of the process ... It's good that she did it ...

'She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken.'

The source went on to insist the former couple's blended family is taking priority, adding: 'The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.'

While divorce rumors arose a few months earlier in May when the pair had not been seen together for over a month, issues reportedly arose during their 2022 honeymoon in Italy.

A source recently told Page Six, 'When they weren't in front of the cameras. They would barely speak to each other during what was supposed to be the happiest time of their life.'

The insider added, 'He hasn't shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It's gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself'; seen in 2022 in L.A. 

Next month on September 6, Jennifer is slated to make an appearance at the premiere of their movie, Unstoppable - but Affleck will not be in attendance

'He sold her on him being a changed man, and that lasted a very short time,' the insider said. 

It was also claimed that Affleck, 'started craving more privacy, and he could no longer take Lopez's level of celebrity.'

'He doesn't want [the entourage] and all the drama that comes with that in his home.'
