J.Lo and Ben Affleck have a tendency to spark speculation about the end of their relationship. When you come together after 18 years of ending a well-known engagement, gossip magazines are sure to jump on every uncomfortable occurrence. This is made worse by Ben's tendency to appear constantly unhappy.
Many sensational newspapers believe that the couple that was once the most extravagant during the early 2000s is on the brink of a divorce, which is quite concerning. Personally, I am feeling a mix of emotions, including feeling upset, sad, and stressed about their business deal with Dunkin'. Even though some news outlets claim that Ben Affleck was spotted leaving a house in Brentwood by himself, I'm still unsure about the credibility of these rumors. The proof presented to support this speculation is not enough to keep my hopes up.
Last Wednesday, a tabloid called In Touch published a story claiming to have insider information that suggests that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's relationship, which had been commonly referred to as Bennifer, was coming to an end. According to the source, Bennifer "just couldn't make it work" despite waiting nearly two decades to be reunited. Affleck had allegedly moved out of their shared home, leaving Lopez to deal with the 17 bathrooms on her own, while he focuses on his children and career. Although they will always care for each other, the source claimed that their differences are too great to overcome, and they will be going their separate ways.
In the middle of May, the Daily Mail noticed that the couple hadn't been seen together in public for seven weeks. They were last seen in March, where Affleck pleasantly touched his wife's backside while in front of a lot of cameras. During their time out, they visited several townhouses on the upper east side. Since then, they have only been spotted alone. Affleck attended the live roast of Tom Brady in LA for Netflix while J.Lo co-hosted the Met Gala without him. Both have been seen wandering around solo in LA, but they still wear their wedding rings. J.Lo went alone to look at houses in Beverly Hills, but it's uncertain if it was for them or just for her.
Currently, it appears that the speculation about Bennifer no longer cohabiting holds some truth. Several sources have claimed that Affleck has been residing in Brentwood for approximately seven days. Additionally, TMZ released a fuzzy photograph of him driving away from the abovementioned house, with his familiar cigarette hanging from his hand adorned with a wedding band.
Regarding the Tom Brady roast, Affleck gave a strange six-minute speech that included insulting anyone who slanders Brady on social media by calling them derogatory names and ending with the statement, "I'm likely never going to find employment again after tonight." People began to wonder if Affleck was going through something personal, but it's difficult to tell as recent observations suggest he is just his typical fed-up self.
Some gossip magazines have used information from an anonymous source referenced by In Touch magazine to comment on the relationship tension between J.Lo and Affleck. They referred to J.Lo's documentary, which was released in February, as evidence. In the documentary, Affleck mentioned his discomfort with the public attention focused on their relationship. He also revealed that he and his spouse were working towards finding a balance regarding their social media presence. Additionally, J.Lo shared some love letters, which were written specifically for her, with a broad audience. Affleck did not seem to appreciate this decision.
After watching J.Lo's documentary, I realized that despite having different opinions on almost everything, Jennifer and Ben were managing to make their relationship work. Although some rumors have suggested that they are going through a rough patch, they are not close to getting divorced like the Daily Mail has reported. Sources have said that they have been facing some issues lately because of Jennifer's busier schedule due to her upcoming tour. It's also been noted that some of the tour dates were cancelled in March. Jennifer has been looking at homes in Beverly Hills for investment purposes, and it's true that Ben is not living with her currently. However, the couple is not planning to break up and is actively working on their relationship.
Furthermore, the recent timeframe has been saturated with abundant instances of affection, including holding hands, indulging in romantic excursions, and, of course, the previously mentioned posterior grasping. Personally, when viewing this twosome, I can still discern a duo consisting of top-tier, enthused sailors with a strong affinity for caffeine that are unequivocally infatuated with one another. Frankly, I refuse to acknowledge the possibility of a marital separation until it is undeniably proven.
