Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are navigating a rough patch as they approach their second wedding anniversary. Despite being seen together recently for the first time in over a month, sources reveal they are taking time apart and living in separate homes due to increased tensions.
A source close to the couple shared with ET that while their relationship isn’t over, they need time to reflect on their needs and desires. This news follows sightings of Affleck without his wedding band at his daughter’s recital, while Lopez was seen wearing hers at the same event.
Affleck, prioritizing his family and well-being, was photographed carrying flowers and chatting with Lopez in a parking lot outside the recital. The couple’s marital issues have been under scrutiny since Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala alone, where she served as co-chair.
The couple has faced ups and downs since their July 2022 wedding, often struggling to align due to their demanding careers and family responsibilities. Speculation about their relationship grew after Lopez “liked” a social media post about unhealthy relationships.
However, sources close to Lopez say she remains unfazed by external negativity and focuses on the support she receives from Affleck. Both are aware of the challenges of being in the public eye and strive to uplift and encourage each other’s talents.
As they navigate this difficult period, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are committed to working through their issues and determining the best path forward for their relationship.
