It appears that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who got married almost two years ago, are now speculated to be separating once more. The A-list duo's relationship is reportedly on the rocks.

Various sources have reported that the vocalist, who is 54 years of age, and the actor, who is 51, are having challenges in their union. A few insiders have stated that the celebrity from Gone Girl has vacated their Beverly Hills residence worth $60 million. Even though the couple has yet to release an official statement regarding these allegations, it hasn't stopped individuals from forming assumptions of them potentially separating. This observation is because photographs of the duo together haven't been seen for around two months.

Lopez and Affleck got back together this year after they broke off their engagement in 2002. They were last seen together in public on March 30th, holding hands while walking in New York City. But, Lopez has been seen alone on a few occasions recently, including promoting her new movie Atlas on Netflix and going to the 2024 Met Gala. She's also starting her tour called "This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits" next month in Orlando, Florida. The tour's name was changed and ticket sales have been low.

At the moment, there are reports stating that the director who won an Oscar is occupied with his personal undertakings, such as shooting The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles. This is a significant change for the couple, as they have never spent such a lengthy period apart since getting married in July of 2022.

We have gathered all the information available about the rumors of Bennifer 2.0's divorce.

Earlier this week, In Touch Magazine reported that Affleck has left his house with Lopez due to problems in their marriage. One of their informants claimed that “it’s clear that it’s over” and that they are likely headed for a divorce, with the surprising detail that it's not Ben's fault this time.

According to the informant, the man who is a father of three is currently occupied with his work and family matters. The source also mentioned that the couple still has affection towards each other, but neither of them can manipulate the other, and neither one can alter the other's behavior. Therefore, the source believes that their relationship was not capable of enduring.

There have been rumors that Lopez and Affleck called it quits because of their differing views on handling media attention in their relationship. Lopez paid for her own $20 million Prime Video movie, titled This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, that came out at the same time as her latest album This Is Me … Now. She also released a documentary called The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which shared information about her 20-year-long relationship with Affleck. Some people think that Lopez's eagerness to share their love story with the world didn't sit well with Affleck, who has been more hesitant about media attention.

The title of the documentary was inspired by a collection of affectionate notes that Affleck had penned for Lopez, which she had kept for quite some time. In fact, they provided inspiration for her album, and she even shared them with songwriters who visited her home. However, it appears that Affleck wasn't keen on having their intimate letters featured in the documentary.

As per the publication Variety, there was a moment in which Affleck appeared unexpectedly surprised when he saw his personal love letters scattered around in front of the songwriters. He allegedly shared with the camera that he admired the elegance, literary artistry and paradox in the fact that it was the most amazing love story that was never shared with anyone. He further added that creating a record about it might seem like disclosing it to the world.

In another part of the film, the director of Argo expressed similar feelings about disclosing information surrounding their romance. He explained that he believed personal matters should be kept confidential and cherished, as they hold a special value due to their intimate nature. Adjusting to the idea of sharing personal details was not an easy feat for him.

After the In Touch story came out, TMZ released pictures of Affleck departing from a home in Los Angeles' Brentwood area on 16 May. According to the outlet, Affleck was residing at the Brentwood residence for the previous week. Lopez was spotted checking out a high-end home in LA recently, but a source confirmed to Us Weekly that it was merely an investment property for the Selena actress.

Even though there were rumors, Affleck and Lopez have been seen wearing their wedding bands lately. A photo from TMZ showed the actor with his left hand hanging out the window while he was driving, revealing his ring finger. Lopez also had her ring on when she went to a dance studio in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The rumors were intensified after sharp-eyed supporters observed that Lopez hit the "like" button on an Instagram post regarding destructive relationships. On the 19th of March, a post was published by relationship counselor Lenna Marsak, stating that "you can't create a positive relationship with someone" who has no "trustworthiness and mental well-being," "does not value your time," has "poor communication abilities," and lacks self-confidence.

Marsak confirmed that Lopez didn't show any appreciation for the post in the past. However, she finally gave a nod to the post by liking it on Instagram this week. The relationship coach was surprised by this and shared a screenshot of the notification to her Instagram Story. In a joking manner, she mentioned that it could be Lopez's "PR team" who actually liked the post instead of the singer herself.

According to a certain report from Us Weekly, there are challenges in the marriage of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, but they are not breaking up at the moment. An anonymous source mentioned that "Jen and Ben are encountering problems in their marriage" and these issues arose a few months ago when Jennifer began to focus more on her work and preparation for her tour.

According to them, Jen gives a lot of attention to work. They frequently have different priorities.

After weeks of speculation about their breakup, Lopez and Affleck were captured in their first photo together in almost two months. Paparazzi from In Touch snapped the couple as they attended their son Fin's school play in LA on Thursday night. Affleck was spotted driving a sleek black SUV and gallantly opening the passenger door for Lopez. The couple's outing was also a family affair as Lopez's daughter Emme,16, was present in the back seat.

According to a source from In Touch, the couple's priority was their children, and they were determined to be there for them despite their marriage problems. They presented a united front, and Jennifer brought their daughter Emme to support their son Fin. Emme has a strong bond with Fin, so it was expected that Jennifer would be there for him regardless of any personal issues she may have had with Ben.

Earlier in 2005, Affleck got hitched to fellow actor Jennifer Garner. Besides their son Fin, they have a daughter Violet Affleck, who is 18 years old, and son Samuel Affleck, who is 12 years old. The couple called it quits in 2018 and officially ended their marriage after being separated for three years. On the other hand, Lopez has 16-year-old twins named Emme and Max, whom she had with her former partner Marc Anthony.

Lopez and Affleck reignited their love in the beginning of 2021 after her separation from ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, a former player of the New York Yankees. Lopez disclosed their engagement to Affleck in April 2022, which marked twenty years since their initial engagement in 2002 and subsequent breakup in 2004. The couple exchanged vows in a personal ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022. A month later, they held another wedding ceremony at Affleck's residence in Georgia.

The Independent reached out to spokespeople working on behalf of Affleck and Lopez to get their input.
