There has been quite a buzz around Jennifer Lopez lately as she was spotted heading to a dance studio in Los Angeles without her husband, Ben Affleck. The absence of Affleck from this outing has sparked rumors about the status of their marriage. The celebrity power couple, known as ‘Bennifer,’ has not been seen together since late March in New York City. Speculations about a possible split have been gaining momentum, with sources suggesting that their relationship may be on the rocks. It is even rumored that Affleck has moved out of their shared home. Both Lopez and Affleck’s representatives have been asked for comments regarding the situation.
Jennifer Lopez, who is 54 years old, was seen at a dance studio in Los Angeles without her 51-year-old husband, Ben Affleck. Rumors have started to surface about the couple’s relationship possibly being in trouble.
The couple was last spotted together seven weeks ago in New York City, marking the possible end of their relationship. Reports suggest that this time, it’s not Ben Affleck who is to blame for the split. An insider shared that Ben has moved out of their $60 million home that he once shared with Jennifer Lopez. Recently, Jennifer was seen house hunting in Beverly Hills by herself. The insider mentioned that Ben is now focusing on his work and children after the separation, hinting that they may need to sell the house they had once dreamed of together. While there is still love between them, their differences seem too vast for the relationship to continue. Jennifer’s decision to release her Amazon Prime documentary, ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ in February, detailing her romance with Ben, may have contributed to the strain in their marriage. This project was just one part of a larger tribute to Ben, which also included a semi-autobiographical film and a single. Despite Jennifer’s tendency to take control, it was noted that Ben never stood in her way or tried to hinder her career aspirations.
According to a source close to the couple, it was disclosed that the pair is nearing a split after failing to resolve their issues, resulting in the end of their marriage which lasted less than two years. The insider, who spoke with In Touch, also noted that Affleck has already moved out of their previously shared residence.
!['The writing is on the wall – it's over,' the insider stated, adding, 'They're headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben's] not to blame!'](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/16/06/84941281-13424363-image-a-9_1715835663389.jpg)
As per someone with insider knowledge, it seems evident that the relationship is heading towards an end. The source shared that a divorce is on the horizon, and interestingly, Ben isn’t to blame this time around.
The other day, a mom with a couple of kids was seen checking out new houses in Beverly Hills without her partner, who has apparently already moved out. It seems likely that they’ll have to sell the gorgeous house they spent two years looking for. The day after, Lopez was seen heading to a dance studio in a casual outfit of a cute cropped sweater, beige pants, and sneakers. She had her hair pulled back in a ponytail and wore hoop earrings as accessories. Earlier, Lopez was on the hunt for some fancy new places to live. It’s only been a year since Lopez and Affleck bought their current $60.85 million mansion, known as the ‘Wallingford estate.’ The huge house has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and sits on a five-acre property. Fans have noticed that the couple has been spending less time together lately, even attending events separately. Lopez recently took on the co-chairing role at the prestigious Met Gala in New York by herself on May 6, surprising many by Affleck’s absence. Reports suggest that Ben was busy with work on The Accountant 2 and decided to call it quits on their marriage. Meanwhile, Affleck appeared at The Roast of Tom Brady on May 5th without Lopez by his side. The last time they were seen out together, they seemed tense while having lunch at Cecconi’s. In Lopez’s recent documentary, Affleck hinted at feeling uneasy about their high-profile relationship.

When Jennifer decided to showcase her $20 million Amazon Prime movie, ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ in February, chronicling her romance with Ben, it seemed to create some tension in their relationship. The filmmaker confessed that when they rekindled their romance, he initially preferred to keep their relationship away from social media, likening it to marrying a boat captain but not wanting to be near the water. However, he eventually realized the importance of finding a middle ground. Throughout their journey, Ben stressed the significance of keeping their private moments sacred and out of the public eye. Jennifer, on the other hand, understood Ben’s discomfort with her openness about their relationship but noted that he never tried to restrict her. In the documentary, Ben shared how the intense scrutiny they faced back in 2003 contributed to their initial breakup just before their planned wedding. He attributed the split to the overwhelming attention on their personal lives. Their love story began in 2002 during the making of Jersey Girl, leading to an engagement in 2003 and a subsequent split in 2004. However, they found their way back to each other in 2021, ultimately tying the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a lavish celebration at his Georgia estate in August. In J Lo’s documentary, they opened up about the ups and downs of their rekindled relationship, with Jennifer openly expressing her love while acknowledging Ben’s unease with being in the public eye. Ben admitted that it was a learning curve for him to share their intimate moments with the world. Despite previous rumors circulating among fans about challenges in their marriage, the couple continues to navigate their love story with grace and compromise.
In the past, fans had a feeling that there could be some trouble brewing between the couple. A picture that went viral last year showed Ben looking like he was slamming the car door in frustration after Jennifer got into the passenger seat.
During that specific month, the couple found themselves in another intense argument. As they drove through Beverly Hills, they paused at a red light and began a heated debate.
The couple caused a stir at the 2023 Grammy awards with a tense moment caught on camera, sparking speculation among viewers. Last year, a video went viral of Ben slamming a car door after Jennifer got in, causing a frenzy on social media. Twitter users commented that he seemed ‘miserable.’ They were seen having another tense interaction in Beverly Hills, with photos showing Ben frustrated while talking to Jennifer in his electric SUV. At the premiere of Jennifer’s movie The Mother, they appeared serious as Jennifer looked upset and gestured at Ben, who seemed angry. Their awkward moment at the Grammy awards made headlines, with Jennifer snapping at her partner. Jennifer has twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony and is a stepmother to Ben’s children from his previous marriage. Reports suggest that Jennifer’s upcoming tour is facing challenges with poor ticket sales, but she is determined to continue. She is gearing up for a North American tour to promote her ninth studio album, This is Me… Now, despite the rumored crisis talks and speculation.
In July 2022, the pair got married in a Las Vegas ceremony, followed by a lavish celebration at his stunning estate in Georgia in August 2022. A beautiful photo was taken to commemorate the special moment, capturing their sheer happiness and deep affection for each other.
Their love story began back in 2002 on the set of Jersey Girl, where Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first met and started dating. After getting engaged the following year, the couple sadly decided to go their separate ways in 2004. Despite this, their romance is captured in the photo from 2003. As Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming tour approaches, there is concern over low ticket sales for her shows. Despite tickets being available at various venues and some being resold for as little as $10, Live Nation was contemplating canceling all 30 tour dates. However, with guidance from her longtime manager Benny Medina, Lopez was determined to move forward with the tour. Medina encouraged Lopez to channel her renewed connection with Ben Affleck by creating her latest album, “This Is Me.. Now.” The album delves into their relationship, two decades after their initial split. Artists Equity, the company owned by Affleck and Matt Damon, supported a documentary about the couple, while Lopez independently funded the film “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” for $20 million. Despite Lopez’s strong marketing skills, former publicist Rob Shuter expressed doubts about the public’s interest in the revived Lopez-Affleck relationship, stating that the “Bennifer” era is a thing of the past. Shuter believes that the world has moved on and no longer has a significant interest in their love story.
