Are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Splitting Up?
The couple was not seen together for 47 days.
In a whirlwind of celebrity romance, this year has witnessed hard launches, engagements, and joyous pregnancy announcements. But unfortunately, amidst all the good news, there's also the somber news of beloved celebrity couples parting ways. Among these rumored heart-wrenching splits are the once-revived romance of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Speculation about the couple's separation began circulating online after fans observed Jennifer Lopez attending the Met Gala, an event she co-chaired this year, unaccompanied. While Ben Affleck's absence from the Met Gala wasn't entirely unexpected, considering his last appearance was in 2021, fans couldn't overlook that the pair had not been publicly spotted together for at least a month, which was quite unusual for them. At this point, the last time they were seen together was on March 30, while they were strolling around New York City.
Then, on May 16, it seemed that all was well when the two were finally seen together (after 47 days) attending an event to support Affleck's child with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Notably, both Affleck and Lopez were wearing their wedding rings, yet reportedly arrived separately, further raising questions among onlookers. Subsequently, various insider sources told People that Affleck and Lopez were not living together in their Los Angeles residence; instead, Affleck was reportedly residing at one of their alternative properties while engrossed in filming his upcoming movie, The Accountant 2. Then, the rumors were further fueled when fans noticed that Lopez had liked an Instagram post that stated "You can't build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity and emotional safety, doesn't respect your time, lacks effective communication skills, doesn't know who they are or what they want."
However, just yesterday, the couple was captured in a photograph together for the second time since their reunion on May 16. Both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, with Affleck behind the wheel of the car in question, flashed smiles for the eager cameras. Later, they were spotted strolling around West Hollywood, with Affleck notably sporting his wedding ring. So, it seems that Bennifer are working things out after all. Here's to hoping for the best for them!
