With their divorce already in the works, it appears that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have cut off communication and are no longer on speaking terms.
Sources close to the estranged couple revealed to TMZ that they are not speaking in person or over the phone. They also claim the lack of communication is causing the divorce proceedings to go slower than expected.
The media outlet reported that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have a prenuptial agreement in place and the only asset they have to divide in their two-year marriage is their Beverly Hills mansion, which is currently on the market for $68 million.
Insiders also told TMZ that Lopez and Affleck have yet to hire attorneys for the divorce. Instead, they are opting to go through their business managers, who are going through all the financial documents.
First confirmed by the Daily Mail, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are currently in the process of filing for divorce. The couple sparked split rumors in early May after Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills mansion and was staying in a $100,000-per-month rental.
Adding fuel to the rumor mill fire, he moved the rest of his stuff out of Beverly Hills property while Lopez was away on a European vacation in June. He recently closed on his own $20.5 million property in Brentwood while Lopez is currently house hunting.
TMZ states that while the couple will eventually hire attorneys to handle their split, they want to settle everything before filing the proper divorce paperwork.
