According to an insider, Jen and Ben are facing challenges in their marriage. The problems began a few months ago when Jen started getting busier with work and preparing for her tour. The source mentioned that Lopez is currently very focused on her work, leading to them being on different pages most of the time.
Earlier this month, a source told Us exclusively that Ben Affleck had moved out of the mansion he shares with Jennifer Lopez "several weeks ago."
While promoting her new movie Atlas in Mexico City, Lopez avoided questions about her marriage to Affleck during a press Q&A. When asked, costar Simu Liu quickly redirected the conversation, saying, "OK, we're not doing that. Thank you so much, guys. We really appreciate it." Lopez also chimed in, saying, "You know better than that," directly to the reporters.
Lopez and Affleck got back together in 2021 after dating in the early 2000s. They decided to elope to Las Vegas in July 2022 and then renewed their vows a month later at Affleck's home in Georgia. Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Although the couple has not publicly spoken about the status of their marriage, another source revealed that Garner, who is 52 years old, has been supporting Affleck and encouraging him not to give up on their relationship.
“Jennifer Garner is encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen,” the insider said. “She fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.”
