The news came after Ben spent a whopping $20.5 million on a new bachelor pad-style mansion in Pacific Palisades on July 24, the day his wife celebrated her birthday.
And according to Jennifer’s friends, the purchase left her furious and felt like a “stab in the heart.”
Ben’s lavish purchase came days after the couple listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million.
And July 24 also marked the day the singer finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million. People reported.
“They finalized their divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to serve them,” said a source close to the duo.
‘At that point, they will issue a joint statement saying how much they love each other and how they fought to make it work but couldn’t.
“The truth is that in the end they were unable to reach an agreement. What they had before is gone and both have accepted it,” said another source.
Amid reports of their split, Ben has also revealed his shocking new look.
