Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck gained fame together in the early 2000s, got engaged, broke up, and eventually reunited in 2022 after separate marriages.
Their current relationship status appears complex, with rumors swirling about a possible divorce.
Reports suggest that Lopez and Affleck are not intending to spend time together this summer, indicating underlying issues in their relationship.
The Challenges in Their Relationship
Insiders suggest that Lopez and Affleck have significant differences in their lifestyles.
Lopez thrives in the limelight, while Affleck prefers a more private life. Recent reports claim that Affleck moved out of their shared mansion in Beverly Hills to a nearby rental close to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Despite canceling her 2024 tour for family time, Lopez and Affleck seem to have no joint plans for the summer. While Lopez celebrated the Fourth of July in the Hamptons, Affleck spent the holiday in Los Angeles.
Sources close to Lopez indicate that she is prioritizing her well-being and happiness this summer and aims to have a joyful season filled with positive experiences, despite the relationship strain.
Affleck, still wearing his wedding ring, remains involved in his children’s lives and stays close to Garner. If a divorce does happen, he is likely to remain in Los Angeles to be near his kids.
Lopez and Affleck are reportedly selling their mansion for $60 million, a property that neither of them felt entirely comfortable with due to its distance from Affleck’s children and its excessive size for Lopez.
Lopez might consider a permanent move to New York. Even before their relationship issues, she had contemplated relocating. In the post-separation period, she might follow through with this plan to start anew away from the scrutiny of the West Coast.
