Ben Affleck recently moved out of the home he shared with his wife Jennifer Lopez, according to a source who exclusively shared with We.

Both Affleck and Lopez, who is 54 years old, have not made any public statements about the situation. Us has reached out to both of them for any comments.

In June 2023, it was confirmed that the couple, who got married in 2022 after canceling their first engagement twenty years ago, bought a $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Recently, there were rumors about Lopez and Affleck breaking up because they had not been seen together for 47 days. However, they were seen together on Thursday, May 17, in photos published by In Touch.

A second insider clarified the breakup rumors, stating that Lopez and Affleck were not breaking up but dealing with challenges in their marriage. They had been living separately, with Lopez also searching for a new property for investment purposes.

The source revealed, "Jen and Ben are facing difficulties in their relationship. These issues arose a few months ago when Jen began taking on more work commitments and preparing for her upcoming tour."

Lopez is getting ready to kick off her This Is Me … Live tour in June. The concerts will feature songs from her latest studio album, This Is Me … Now, along with its accompanying short film and behind-the-scenes documentary. Most of the tracks on the album were inspired by Lopez’s renewed relationship with Affleck. (They had initially called off their wedding plans in 2004 due to “excessive media attention,” but rekindled their romance in 2021.)

In February’s This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, Lopez mentioned, “I don’t think he’s very comfortable with me doing all of this. But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist, and he’s going to support me in every way he can because he knows he can’t stop me from creating the music and lyrics that I do. That’s going to happen, and he doesn’t want to hinder me. But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”

Affleck shared in the documentary that he was proud of Lopez's self-funded artistic project.

Lopez and Affleck got back together in May 2021 after ending their relationships with Alex Rodriguez and Ana de Armas. In April 2022, the director of "Air" proposed to Lopez for the second time, and a few months later they got married in Las Vegas in July. Their children from previous relationships were the only witnesses at the wedding. Lopez has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Affleck and Lopez renewed their vows one month later in August 2022 at his Georgia estate.
