J.Lo & Ben Affleck Rumored to be Splitting After Rekindled Romance
Are Bennifer 2.0’s fairytale nuptials already hitting the rocks? Sources are buzzing that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may be living apart amidst trouble in paradise.
The A-list couple, who famously reignited their early 2000s flame nearly two decades after their first broken engagement, has reportedly been residing separately as of late according to inside sources speaking to Access Hollywood and People. This bombshell living situation comes just weeks after Lopez raised eyebrows by walking the Met Gala red carpet solo, without her husband by her side.
At the time, reps for Affleck chalked up his Met absence to simply being tied up filming The Accountant sequel in Los Angeles. But the unaccompanied red carpet strut combined with the current whispers of separate residences has many wondering if there are bigger issues brewing.
The possible split speculation also surfaces at an inopportune time – just ahead of what would have been Lopez and Affleck’s second wedding anniversary in July. The pair finally made it down the aisle in 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021, almost 20 years after their initial romance crumbled under extreme media scrutiny.
Their road to remarriage was a lengthy, emotional one. J.Lo previously confessed that their 2004 split and broken engagement was “the biggest heartbreak” of her life that sent her spiraling for nearly two decades. So their reunion and double 2022 weddings – a low-key Vegas affair followed by a bigger Georgia ceremony – seemed a hard-won, blazing happily-ever-after.
However, navigating the spotlight as a couple proved challenging even the second time around. In Lopez’s recent documentary, Affleck admitted struggling with her heavy presence on social media, saying he wanted to avoid that level of publicity in their new relationship. The compromises of combining their high-profile lives and families were “like marrying a boat captain when you don’t like water,” he mused.
Only the couple knows the truth behind the current living situation rumors. But many can’t help worrying that after enduring so much heartbreak before finally remarrying, history may be repeating itself for the star-crossed lovers. Here’s hoping Bennifer 2.0 can weather this latest storm.
