Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is reportedly going through a rough patch. Despite maintaining a happy public image, sources claim the couple has been living “separate lives.”
According to insiders, Ben is “still very protective of Jennifer.” Speculation about Bennifer’s relationship troubles began in May when Ben was noticeably absent from high-profile events, such as this year’s Met Gala.
Ben’s absence continued to raise eyebrows when he missed the premiere of Jennifer’s Netflix film, “Atlas,” which coincided with the Met Gala month. Adding to the rumors, Jennifer liked an Instagram post about troubled relationships right after Ben’s no-show at the Met Gala. The post read, “You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves.”
Reports suggest that Lopez and Affleck have been separated since March. In a significant move, the couple listed their $61 million Beverly Hills home for sale, which they bought together in 2023 following their 2022 wedding.
Further fueling speculation, Jennifer took a solo trip to Italy in late June with her friends. Paparazzi captured her lounging on a boat by herself, with no sign of Affleck around.
Prior to their recent marriage, Jennifer and Ben were engaged in 2002 after dating for a few months but called off their engagement and split in 2004.
As fans and the media continue to watch the unfolding situation, the couple’s current challenges highlight the complexities of maintaining a high-profile relationship under public scrutiny. Whether these rumors hold true or the couple manages to reconcile, their journey remains a subject of widespread interest and concern.
