Garner’s rep did not respond to Us’ request for comment.

Speculation was circulating that Affleck and Lopez's marriage was going through a rough patch because they hadn't been seen together for 47 days. However, following the breakup rumors, they were seen attending a school event for one of his children on Thursday, May 16.

It was confirmed by Us that Affleck, aged 51, had moved out of their Los Angeles home "several weeks ago" and had moved into a rental property. Garner was seen entering this rental property on Saturday, May 19. As of now, neither Affleck nor Lopez, aged 54, have publicly commented on their living arrangements. Us has contacted the representatives of both for a statement.

Jen and Ben are facing challenges in their marriage, according to a source who shared with Us on Thursday. The issues began a few months ago when Jen started increasing her work responsibilities and getting ready for her upcoming tour.

The insider mentioned that Lopez is highly dedicated to her work while getting ready for her This Is Me … Live tour, which starts in June. The source also mentioned, “They often find themselves on different wavelengths most of the time.”

A separate insider mentioned that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are not planning to break up. A third source also revealed that the couple is still working on their relationship.

The couple got married in July 2022 in Las Vegas and had a second wedding with their loved ones at Ben Affleck's home in Georgia.

Lopez and Affleck first started dating in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of their film Gigli. They went public with their relationship after Lopez's divorce from Cris Judd in June 2002. Despite getting engaged, the couple decided to split in January 2004.

Following the breakup, Lopez moved on and married Marc Anthony in 2004. They had twins Emme and Maximilian in 2009, but eventually separated in 2011 and finalized their divorce in 2014. Lopez was previously married to Ojani Noa for almost a year in 1997.

Affleck married Garner in 2005. They had three kids together - Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. The couple announced their separation in June 2015 and officially divorced three years later. Garner recently posted touching photos from Violet's high school graduation on May 20th on Instagram.
