Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck - He is said to have packed his things
For some time now, there have been rumors that the relationship between Jennifer Lopez (54) and Ben Affleck (51) is in crisis. The two have reportedly been living apart from each other for weeks. According to a US report, Affleck allegedly took all his things out of their shared villa in Beverly Hills before his wife returned from a solo trip to Europe. Lopez recently enjoyed a vacation in Italy without Affleck and also made an appearance during the Paris Fashion Week.
"He has been there for about two months now"
Affleck is reportedly living in a rental property in Brentwood, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, according to People magazine. "He has been there for about two months now," the anonymous source tells People. It seems to be going well for him; he goes to his office every day and also spends time with his children.
People had reported in the past month that the couple was living apart when they were both in Los Angeles. In addition, the celebrity portal TMZ reported that Affleck had been seen in the area and was reportedly staying there more frequently.
"You know it better"
The rumor mill has been churning for weeks. Speculation about an alleged breakup was fueled in May, among other things, by reports that the couple had not been seen together in public for more than a month. Affleck was also spotted with and without a ring on his finger. Neither he nor Lopez have commented extensively on the rumors. During a press conference for her new film "Atlas," Lopez was confronted with the rumors and simply replied: "You know it better."
Affleck and Lopez were together from 2002 to 2004. In 2021, they gave their love a new chance and married in July 2022 in Las Vegas. She brought her twins Emme and Max from a previous marriage with Marc Anthony (55) into the heated relationship with Affleck, and he shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner (52): Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
