Ben Affleck hands Jennifer Lopez a $60 million ‘gift’ between divorce hearings thats 'drained' him

Published: Apr 21 2026

It appears that Ben Affleck is determined to hand over a property worth over $60 million to his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, and it's not due to love but rather a desire for a clean break from her. This revelation comes amidst their divorce proceedings, which include the attempted sale of a joint property valued at over $60 million.

To ensure this 'clean break,' the actor has just handed over his entire stake in the property. According to sources, the reason behind his decision is that he has been "locked horns" with Lopez over the house for so long that it has simply "drained" him. As he told Heat World, "he doesn't even care about the money as much as he cares about having some peace – and putting an end to the back and forth."

The father of three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is looking to start anew, and the report suggests that he's buying his way out of this mess because he doesn't want to feel obligated in any way. The biggest reason why this even came to this is that despite the divorce, Affleck often felt 'obligated' to answer Lopez's calls due to their shared investment. However, as the source puts it, "now he's free of that, it's a big relief for him."

As for what Lopez thinks of this development, the source also mentioned that she can't help but see it as proof that he is the good guy she fell in love with and now she's hoping that somehow, they might be able to work it out. It's typical of Ben – he's trying to avoid drama and only creating more. His friends are shaking their heads and telling him he's not thinking straight.
