It seems like the rocky relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, affectionately known as Bennifer, has hit yet another bump in the road. According to TMZ, the couple is currently not on speaking terms, which is reportedly causing delays in their divorce proceedings.

TMZ reports that the lines of communication between Ben and Jen have been closed, with things becoming increasingly tense and amicable. This lack of communication is significantly slowing down their divorce process, despite the fact that they could have potentially had a "quickie divorce." The couple has a prenuptial agreement in place, and their only shared asset, a lavish mansion worth $68 million, is currently up for sale.

Rather than involving lawyers at this stage, J.Lo and Ben are said to be working through their alleged divorce with the assistance of their business managers. However, the situation is complicated by the fact that they are not directly communicating with each other. The report suggests that they may eventually hire divorce lawyers, but no official documents will be filed until a settlement is reached.

Interestingly, just a few weeks ago, it was reported by the Daily Mail that Ben and Jen were communicating through heartfelt letters, reminiscent of how their romance began. Some sources even mentioned that they were determined to rediscover what brought them back together in the first place, implying that they were not ready to give up on their relationship.

The sudden change in their dynamic remains unclear. However, it is worth noting that Ben recently purchased a new home in Los Angeles, coincidentally on Jennifer Lopez's birthday. This development adds an additional layer of complexity to their already strained relationship.

As fans eagerly await further updates, it remains to be seen whether Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez can overcome their current hurdles and salvage their romance. For now, it seems that the couple is taking it day by day, hoping to find a way to reconcile rather than rushing into divorce proceedings. Stay tuned for further developments in this ongoing saga of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of celebrity relationships.
