The relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is one of the most well-known in the history of Hollywood celebrities, not only because they are both mega-stars, but also because of their ups and downs over the years.
In May 2021, it was confirmed that they had officially reunited as a couple, and since then, they have been supporting each other in all their projects. In 2022, they got engaged again and finally said “I do”.
However, this week, rumors began circulating that there might be trouble in paradise and that the couple has been separated for some time. It seems they may be heading towards another divorce…
Did Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split up?
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been together for several years up until now, but it seems that not everything is rosy, as the couple would be separated and living in separate houses, according to TMZ and People.
A source close to the stars reportedly revealed to In Touch that they are on the verge of divorce. “It’s over”, said this anonymous person, before clarifying that it was not the actor’s fault as he had just moved out alone.
Rumors began after the Gone Girl star did not accompany the singer to the Met Gala, where she shouldn’t have walked the red carpet alone, as she was one of the hosts of the 2024 edition.
However, despite all the rumors, they were photographed on the afternoon of Friday, May 17, buying flowers in Los Angeles. Neither of the two figures has made any comments on the matter so far.
Some fans even hinted on social media that they may have given their location to the paparazzi to take some photos of them, thus either debunking or hiding their current relationship status.
Apparently, one of the main problems that the couple has been facing recently is related to the media and how each of them handled their relationship. The singer was more permissive, while the actor wanted them away.
This may not have been the reason for the separation, but it’s one of the significant differences that has been gradually driving them apart. The source also revealed what their next steps would be and said:
“Now she is focusing on her work and her children. Ben has already moved out, and they will probably have to sell the house of their dreams, which they were looking for for two years. They will never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There was no way they could have lasted“.
