Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Hit a Rough Patch, Currently Living Apart

Amidst circulating split rumors, sources reveal that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly living separately, sparking concerns about the state of their marriage. Insider accounts shed light on the couple's current struggles and past relationship challenges.

Nearly two years after their lavish wedding, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly facing a significant challenge in their marriage. Sources close to the couple have confirmed that they are currently living apart, fueling speculation that a split may be on the horizon.

According to a source who spoke to Fox News Digital, Affleck has been living separately from Lopez since recently. The insider shared that Lopez has been residing in their $60 million Beverly Hills home while Affleck has taken up a rental property a short distance away.

Adding to the unease, Jennifer Garner, Affleck's ex-wife, was spotted visiting his rental home in Brentwood, California, on Saturday, May 18th. The source close to Lopez expressed that the initial whirlwind of love has subsided, and adjusting to real life has taken its toll. They emphasized that both Lopez and Affleck remain actively involved in each other's children's lives and consider themselves a blended family unit, making the situation particularly challenging.

Despite the separation, the couple made joint appearances on May 16th to support their children at an event, with both wearing their wedding rings. They also presented a united front in photographs taken on Sunday, driving together in Los Angeles. However, Affleck's absence at Lopez's big movie premiere for "Atlas" on Monday raised eyebrows.

Sources close to Affleck have indicated that individuals in his circle are being reserved about discussing the true nature of the marital problems. One source stated that "Something definitely seems to be up" and that plans for joint projects have recently stalled.

Lopez and Affleck share different parenting styles, which has reportedly led to conflicts. Lopez has 16-year-old twins with Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children with Garner. The source revealed that Lopez and Affleck have had disagreements about how to raise their children.

Throughout their relationship, Lopez and Affleck have faced various obstacles. They initially parted ways before their planned wedding in 2003, only to reunite and marry in July 2022. In her documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," Lopez recounted calling off their engagement over two decades ago due to pressure and media attention.

Affleck has acknowledged the need for compromise in their relationship. He expressed his initial reluctance about social media involvement, but later recognized the unfairness of such a request. He emphasized their efforts to learn and adjust.

As the situation unfolds, sources speculate that the couple may be undergoing a temporary separation to work through their issues. However, the outcome remains uncertain, and only time will tell whether Lopez and Affleck can overcome their current challenges and strengthen their bond.
