Following news of their house on the market, friends close to the couple have shared that the two are headed towards total seperation.&nbsp;

As rumors of divorce continue to circulate and the pair moves father apart, it appears as though <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-relationship-timeline-reunited" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez</a> are truly reaching the end of their marriage. Although it was a relationship 20 years in the making, not even the powers of nostalgia or young love seem to be able to bring the pair back together.&nbsp;
"Jen and Ben have been living separate lives but have not officially separated yet," a source close to the pair told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jennifer-lopez-and-ben-affleck-are-living-separate-lives-amid-split-rumors-source-says-227066" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight.</a> "At this point, they are just doing their own thing. They went into their relationship very optimistic and thought things could change, but they haven't."
Given that the news emerges on the heels of the couple's house going up for sale, the cancellation of Lopez's tour, and Affleck's recent public appearances sans <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/lily-collins-wedding-engagement-ring-stolen-robbery-spa-details-hotel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wedding ring</a>, those close to the couple are speculating that the differences between the two are simply not reconciliable.&nbsp;
Although the couple had high hopes for co-parenting their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/zendaya-discusses-child-stardom-and-wanting-children-in-recent-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">children</a> as one big family, their hopes have been dashed, as Lopez shared just months ago that co-parenting all of the children has been "a process," according to the singer and actress. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">&ldquo;The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;They have so many feelings. They&rsquo;re teens. But it&rsquo;s going really well so far," she shared just after the couple moved in together. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">"What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can&rsquo;t see with my kids because I&rsquo;m so emotionally tied up," she told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/jennifer-lopez-december-cover-2022-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a>&nbsp;in a November 2022 interview. Just a year and a half later, Bennifer seem to be in two totally different places with their marriage.
After the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-home-sale-zillow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sale of their home</a>, the couple decided to take a bit of space from one another, and in the meantime, friends of the pair are unsure if any amount of distance can truly repair the relationship, although both halves are certainly giving it their best effort.&nbsp;
"She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice including giving up being J.Lo. She doesn't want to be divorced," a source close to the singer told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13502837/Jennifer-Lopez-Ben-Affleck-marriage-Friends-reveal-ALISON-BOSHOFF-Madonna-President-problem-ego.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, indicating that the relationship requires almost all of the star's attention at the moment.&nbsp;
