- She hasn't seen him in weeks.
It's been rumored for weeks that Jennifer Lopez (55) and Ben Affleck (51) are having major marital issues and are reportedly on the brink of divorce. Now, an insider from the US magazine "People" reveals that the couple hasn't seen each other in weeks. Despite this, Lopez is having a relatively good summer, according to the source.
The insider reports that Lopez "hasn't seen Ben in weeks." The couple is apparently looking towards separate futures, with Lopez trying to find a new home to start fresh. Despite the alleged separation, the singer is not letting it get her down. "Considering everything that's happened, Jennifer is having a good summer," the anonymous source says. During a break, she's enjoyed quality time with her children, family, and friends, and has been able to focus on what's next. Lopez "always maintains a positive attitude, even when things aren't perfect."
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Lopez has been looking at potential new homes in Los Angeles. Affleck, according to US press, has already found a new place. Coincidentally, he signed the purchase agreement on his wife's 55th birthday, which he didn't spend with her. There have also been previous reports that the couple wants to sell their shared villa.
The US gossip portal "TMZ" recently reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the actor and his wife aren't speaking - neither in person nor on the phone. Their seemingly frosty relationship is reportedly hindering a quick divorce. According to the report, neither side has hired divorce lawyers yet, with their business managers handling the financial aspects. Once they reach an agreement, the relevant documents will be submitted to the court. The "Daily Mail" reported a few days earlier that the papers are "ready but not yet filed," with the couple waiting for the right time.
Speculations about their alleged marital crisis have been circulating for months. The couple was together from 2002 to 2004 but split up. They reunited in 2021 and got married in the summer of 2022. Lopez brought her twins Emme and Max from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony (55) into the rekindled relationship. Affleck has three children - Violet, Fin, and Samuel - with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner (52).
Despite the ongoing rumours of marital issues, Lopez's friends and family report that she's been keeping a positive outlook, focusing on her personal life and spending quality time with her children. The prospect of a separation, however, has led to reports of Lopez exploring new housing options in Los Angeles, while Affleck has allegedly moved on to a new residence as well.
