Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are currently spending some time apart, but they are not breaking up just yet. According to an insider who exclusively spoke to We, Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, are facing some challenges in their marriage. These issues began a few months ago when Lopez started to increase her work commitments and prepare for her upcoming tour.

Lopez will be starting her This Is Me … Live tour in Orlando next month. The tour follows the release of her ninth album, This Is Me … Now, in February. Along with the album, a film titled This Is Me … Now: A Love Story was also released.

According to a source, Jen is very dedicated to her work. The source mentions that most of the time, they are on different pages.

Lopez recently checked out a house in Los Angeles, which she plans to use as an investment property, according to an insider. Another source mentions that Affleck has been staying at a different place in L.A. than their usual home.

Additionally, the second insider confirms that Lopez and Affleck are not thinking of separating at the moment. A third source also mentions that the couple is actively working on improving their relationship.

We have contacted both representatives for their comments.

Earlier this month, Lopez went to the Met Gala in New York City by herself. She was one of the co-chairs for the event on May 6, along with Anna Wintour, Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.

Affleck went to the live taping of Netflix's roast of Tom Brady without Lopez the day before. Recently, the Oscar winner and his wife have not been seen together in photos.

Lopez and Affleck got married in Las Vegas in July 2022, following their engagement in April of the same year. They also had another wedding ceremony in August 2022 at Affleck's home in Georgia, where their family and friends joined them to celebrate.

The couple first started dating in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of the movie Gigli. They got engaged in November 2002 and had plans to get married in September the following year, but they decided to cancel the wedding because of too much attention from the media. They officially ended their engagement in January 2004.

Almost 20 years later, Lopez and Affleck reconnected after both going through breakups with Alex Rodriguez and Ana de Armas. In May 2021, they caught everyone's attention when they were seen enjoying a vacation together in Montana.

Earlier this year, Lopez expressed her surprise at reuniting with Affleck, saying that she never expected it to happen.

During an interview on Australia's Kyle & Jackie O Show in February, Lopez shared that she had fallen in love with the love of her life earlier on. She mentioned that they both needed to grow and explore other relationships, leading them to have children with other people. Despite this, she always considered him to be "The One" in her mind.

After breaking up with Affleck in 2004, Lopez started a relationship with Marc Anthony. They got married in June 2004 and had twins Max and Emme in 2008, who are now 16 years old. Lopez and Anthony, 55, separated in 2011 and officially divorced three years later.

On the other hand, Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005. They have three children together: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Garner, 52, and Affleck announced their separation in 2015 and finalized their divorce three years later.

Editor's P/S:

The news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marital issues is disheartening, considering their recent reunion and lavish wedding. It's clear that the couple is facing challenges, particularly with Lopez's increased work commitments. The fact that they are reportedly living in separate residences and have not been seen together in recent photos raises concerns about the stability of their relationship.

However, it's important to note that the couple is actively working on improving their situation. They are not considering separation at this time, and sources indicate that they are committed to resolving their differences. It's possible that the time apart will allow them to gain perspective and address the underlying issues that are putting strain on their marriage. Only time will tell if Lopez and Affleck can overcome these obstacles and emerge from this period stronger than before.
