Jennifer Lopez seemed to be showing ex Ben Affleck what he was missing with a new Instagram post. The 55-year-old triple threat uploaded a sexy pinup image from the gym to her JLo Beauty Instagram page. The snapshot was taken five years ago as she modeled workout clothing from Niyamasol. The caption was about how inspiring the Atlas actress is the the blockbuster beauty brand which sells cleansers, toners and lotions. Meanwhile, the Bronx beauty has been working through her divorce with Affleck with prominent lawyer Laura Wasser who is pals with Kim Kardashian. Laura, who worked with Ben when he split from Jennifer Garner, has been helping the exes mediate their 'tricky' divorce, according to TMZ. Lopez and Affleck - who were wed for only two years - have a complicated split because they did not have a prenup agreement when they said 'I do' in August 2022. And since they tied the knot, the stars worked together on several projects like the films This Is Me... Now, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Unstoppable and Kiss Of The Spider Woman. The toughest part, however, is Ben's production company with longtime Matt Damon; it was started after he wed the former Fly Girl, which means Jennifer might be able to get a slice of it, the site added. But there won't be a war between the two as they want the divorce to be friendly. 'They want to show the kids that things are amicable,' a source told People on Monday. 'They want to stay friendly. There’s still a lot of love.' The divorce must be going somewhat smoothly as Ben and Jennifer seemed to be getting along when they took their children to brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel earlier this month. They walked side by side into the hotel. PageSix claimed that Ben could not keep his hands off Jen and even kissed her, which is unusual behavior for a couple that is divorcing. The split has been a long time coming, however, as they were not living together for most of this year. The On The Floor hitmaker filed for divorce without an attorney on August 20 — which marked the couple's second wedding anniversary. Lopez listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024, as per legal docs seen by DailyMail.com. The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot, insiders have revealed. Without a prenup in place, Jennifer and Ben's individual earnings from the last two years — whether it be from film projects or major brand deals — are community property. One major asset the estranged couple will need to agree on is a $60.85 million home in Beverly Hills, California that they purchased last year. The former couple listed the home - which has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms - in June for $65 million, then relisted it after making recent renovations for $68 million. The home in the tony Southern California neighborhood arrived last month of the market after further work was done on the abode, which took Lopez and Affleck two years to pick out. The mansion spans 38,000 square-feet, and state tax law might play a part in the increased price tag, as California taxes homes sold for a minimum of $10 million with a 5.5 percent charge, TMZ reported last month. The listing on the abode had been held by The Agency, a real estate firm owned by Bravo personality Mauricio Umansky. An offer was put in recently, but the buyer backed away as there was a death in the family, according to TMZ. Affleck moved out of the Beverly Hills home and has since plunked down $20.5 million on a mansion in the Pacific Palisades, California. Both entertainers have worked steadily in the two years they have been wed: Affleck's projects in that timespan include the 2023 movies Air (which he also directed) and Hypnotic, according to iMDb. Affleck also made appearances in 2023's The Flash and 2024's Jennifer Lopez in This Is Me... Now. He has finished shooting the The Accountant 2, in which he reprises the role of Christian Wolff from the 2016 motion picture. Other acting projects he has in the works include a film called Witness for the Prosecution, which is in development; and a film titled RIP, which is in the pre-production phase. He is listed as an executive producer on a TV movie called Thirst, a sports drama titled Flash Before the Bang and a Hugh Jackman movie titled Apostle Paul. Other projects he is listed as a producer on include a film called Keeper of the Lost Cities, which he is slated to direct and star; and the film Animals, which he is slated to direct, which stars his longtime friend Matt Damon. The joint ventures he is involved in with Lopez: a musical adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman and Unstoppable, both of which she stars in. In court docs, Lopez said she was waiving spousal support and requested the court not give Affleck any either, according to the outlet. According to TMZ insiders, the exes have been embroiled in tense settlement talks for months. At times, Jennifer and Ben have stopped speaking to one another entirely. The source noted to the outlet that 'one of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her' - and is itemizing the expenses she laid out amid the relationship. Lopez is mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55; while Affleck is father to children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52. In July 2022, Ben and Jennifer tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding chapel. The following month, the couple held a star-studded wedding ceremony at Ben's sprawling Georgia compound. Though split rumors didn't reach a fever pitch until 2024, fans of the couple began speculating that Ben was 'miserable' in the relationship back in 2023. This mostly stemmed from Ben's apparent dislike of red carpet festivities that Jennifer frequented, as well as several seemingly heated interactions that were caught on camera.
