Jennifer Lopez reportedly seeks retribution against Ben Affleck in a way that hits close to home - his finances.
The "Jenny From the Block" hitmaker has shifted gears and is now on the hunt for payback after realizing she footed most of the bill for their rekindled romance and eventual marriage since 2021.
In pursuing a fair share, Lopez is reportedly seeking half of her soon-to-be ex-husband's $150 million fortune despite being wealthier at $400 million, as insiders revealed to Radar Online.
The 51-year-old Gone Girl star was known to constantly complained about expenses throughout their marriage. But to evade his complaints about her extravagant spending habits, Lopez willingly footed the bill.
A source told the outlet, "One of the little-known secrets is that Lopez paid for much of their marital expenses, and now she feels he owes her."
"She's adding up all those private jet bills she puts on her plastic, the hotels, meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas. The high cost of living was done on her dime. She also paid the lion's share for that $60 million mansion they bought."
They added, "Affleck took so much money out of her, at least that's what she's saying."
After two years of marriage, rumors of the couple's separation have caused the mom-of-two to realize how much the Affleck allegedly relied on her. As a result, she is now seeking compensation.
"She's demanding a full inventory of what she spent versus what he spent and wants all the money back she 'invested,'" the source said.
"She isn't the one who gave up on their marriage and she's feeling seriously burned and is out for blood."
"If he had stayed in the marriage like a good boy, she wouldn't have minded. But he abandoned her and ultimately, Jennifer always gets payback and now she's ready to play hardball."
This comes amid reports that Lopez wants to "fall in love" with Affleck "once again."
According to an insider, there have been reports of the couple facing challenges in their "communication," yet the Atlas actress is committed to resolving these issues and restoring their relationship to the level it was at when they reignited their love.
A source told the Daily Mail in early June, "They are in love but she wants to fall in love with Ben again and get back to what got them back together in the first place. She wants him to feel better about their relationship."
"They have to work on their communication first and foremost. Some have said the way they spend money is putting a strain on their relationship, but that isn't the case. It's that their communication is off."
However, another source told Page Six that Lopez and Affleck's marriage had already been over for several months already.
