Amid ongoing rumors surrounding the state of their marriage, Jennifer Lopez made a surprise visit to her husband Ben Affleck's rented house in Brentwood, California, on his 52nd birthday. The couple, who have been the subject of breakup speculation, have not been seen together in months and have been noticeably absent from social media.

Photos published by Page Six captured Jennifer Lopez arriving at Ben Affleck's rented home on August 15th. Keeping it casual in a tan jacket and wide-legged denim jeans, Lopez accessorized with large hoop earrings and her hair tied back in a ponytail. However, it is worth noting that she did not share a tribute to Affleck on Instagram, opting instead to post throwback photos of her own birthday celebration in late July.

While Affleck did not join Lopez for her 55th birthday celebrations in the Hamptons, the couple's absence from each other's special occasions has fueled speculation about marital struggles between the A-list pair. In fact, they have not been spotted wearing their wedding rings in recent sightings. Affleck is currently residing in the rented Brentwood house after the couple listed their Beverly Hills estate for $68 million.

Recent real estate transactions by both parties have also raised eyebrows. In July, Affleck purchased a five-bedroom estate in Los Angeles, while Lopez finalized the sale of her New York City penthouse on the same day. Furthermore, the couple chose not to publicly acknowledge their second wedding anniversary, further fueling the rumors surrounding their relationship status.

Despite the ongoing speculation, neither Jennifer Lopez nor Ben Affleck has addressed the breakup rumors publicly. During a press stop in Mexico for her Netflix film, Atlas, Lopez was questioned about the state of her relationship with Affleck but did not provide any comment.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's decades-spanning romance has been filled with highs and lows, with the couple first meeting on the set of the film Gigli in December 2001. They made their red carpet debut as a couple in November 2002 and got engaged the same month. However, their relationship faced obstacles, including postponed weddings and ultimately, the end of their engagement in September 2003.

Fast forward to September 2021, and fans were delighted to see Lopez and Affleck reunite as they made their first red carpet appearance together in 18 years at the Venice Film Festival. Their appearances together at various events, including the 2021 Met Gala and the premiere of Affleck's movie The Last Duel, further fueled rumors of a rekindled romance.

Jennifer and Ben confirmed their engagement in April 2022 and surprised everyone with a secret wedding ceremony in Las Vegas on July 16th. The couple then enjoyed a post-wedding trip to Paris with Lopez's twins and two of Affleck's children.

As speculation surrounding the status of their marriage continues, only time will tell if Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck can weather the storm and keep their love alive.
