Ben Affleck is said to be gripped with fear his ex Jennifer Lopez will fleece him for a fortune in their looming divorce deal.
Spineless Ben Affleck is publicly sucking up to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, in a desperate ploy to avoid a bitter divorce battle and save as much of his $150 million fortune as possible, sources told RadarOnline.com.
In truth, the sources note, Affleck, 52, couldn’t be happier to have escaped the 55-year-old diva‘s demanding ways, but he also knows he’s better off keeping her as happy as possible so she doesn’t get vindictive and turn their divorce into World War III.
Affleck recently did some buttering up by gushing about J.Lo‘s performance as the mom of a one-legged collegiate wrestler in the movie Unstoppable.
“Jennifer is spectacular”, he praised while promoting the flick he helped produce with pal Matt Damon.
Those kind words could actually do him a lot more good than her in the long run.
“Ben’s telling everyone that Jennifer’s great in the movie because he knows she’ll be pleased to hear it”, noted an insider. “That shows what a suck-up he is. Clearly, his flattery is meant to oil the wheels of their divorce so it goes as smoothly as possible.”
