Are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck heading for a divorce?

Has Jennifer Lopez-Ben Affleck's marriage run into troubled waters? Despite JLo's three-part love letter to Affleck- in the form of a musical sci-fi film, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, her single This Is Me… Now and Amazon Prime documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, the romance seems to have gone sour, if multiple media reports are to be believed.

The couple married in 2022 after reconciling their relationship the previous year.

According to a report by In Touch Weekly, Affleck has already “moved out” of their shared residence.

The unnamed source has spoken about the couple and said, "The writing is on the wall—it’s over… They’re headed for a divorce—and for once, (Ben’s) not to blame!”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck plagued by divorce rumours

On May 6, as JLo helmed the pivotal position as one of the Met Gala co-chairs, her husband Ben Affleck was conspicuous by absence. Many felt he missed out on the opportunity to cheer on his wife during her starry red carpet moment.

Though media reports initially connected his absence at the Gala to his official commitments to the filming of The Accountant 2, In Touch Weekly's report claims that Affleck decided to skip the event as he has “decided to call it quits” with the 54-year-old pop diva.

Ever since they rekindled their romance in 2021, both Hollywood stars have approached their time in the spotlight differently.

While JLo has avidly been the subject of several stories on camera, the Air actor has reduced his public presence to a minimum.

He's even admitted wanting to stay away from making headlines for his relationship, but also being stuck in limbo in Lopez's documentary: "Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realised it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain, and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re trying to learn to compromise."

Affleck's comment led to speculations about the growing distance between the two. According to The Mirror, they were last spotted together in the final week of March, when they were headed out for an NYC lunch.

The British tabloid also noted that the Marry Me actress was pictured on Wednesday, arriving at a Los Angeles studio with her crew, minus Ben.

The insider added that Ben, after allegedly moving out of their house, is “focusing on his work and his kids now.”

If they do part ways, they will also have to "sell the dream house they spent two years searching for."

The insider though added that Ben and Jennifer will “never stop loving each other."

“She can't control him, and he can't change her. There's no way it could have lasted,” the insider seemingly concluded.

The couple first started dating in 2002 and even got engaged but called it off in 2004. They both then rekindled their romance nearly two decades later in 2021, leading up to their ultimate wedding in July 2022.

Now, as the insider also asserted, despite the duo waiting over two decades to find their way back to each other, “they just couldn't make it work” in the end.

While the cause of their rift is so far not known, one will have to wait and watch if the couple officially makes an announcement of their separation or slam the rumours with a public statement or event better- a public appearance together.
