In the latest development regarding the relationship of Hollywood power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, reports have emerged that Affleck has begun moving his belongings out of their shared mansion while Lopez is away in Europe. Sources close to the couple shared this information with People in a story published on Friday.
According to insiders, Affleck, 51, has been living in a Brentwood rental for the past two months. He has been seen going about his daily routine, focusing on work and spending time with his children. Despite rumors of their separation, Affleck and Lopez, 54, have not officially announced their split.
The couple, affectionately dubbed "Bennifer" by the press, first dated from 2002 to 2004 before going on to marry other partners and have children. They recently rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, creating a blended family with a total of five children.
However, over the past few months, reports of trouble in paradise have been circulating. The speculation began in May when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without Affleck, raising eyebrows in the media. Shortly after, it was reported that Affleck was staying at a separate residence.
Lopez was spotted house hunting without Affleck, leading to further speculation about the state of their marriage. InTouch reported that the couple is currently undergoing therapy to address their marital issues. While Affleck is said to be participating in the process reluctantly, he understands the benefit of therapy.
Earlier this month, the couple's luxurious $60 million Beverly Hills mansion was listed for sale on Zillow, adding fuel to the breakup rumors. Sources claim that Affleck has realized that their relationship may not be salvageable and wishes for a way to divorce based on "temporary insanity."
While Affleck deals with the logistics of moving out, Lopez appears to be taking some time for herself while vacationing in Positano, Italy. She was recently photographed looking happy and relaxed, soaking up the sun on a boat and capturing memories with her camera.
Relationship experts speculate that Lopez's trip may provide her with valuable introspection about her marriage and future aspirations. Despite the ongoing reports, both Affleck and Lopez have continued to present a united front, with Lopez attending her stepson Samuel's middle school graduation ceremony and enjoying lunch with her stepdaughter Violet earlier this month.
As fans eagerly await an official statement from the couple, the speculation surrounding the future of Bennifer continues to captivate audiences and generate headlines.
