The infamous couple, award-winning superstars Ben Affleck, 51, and Jennifer Lopez, 54, also known as Bennifer, have had a roller coaster of a relationship. They first started dating in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of their movie Gigli. They went public shortly after and they got engaged. However, the two called off their wedding in 2003 and eventually split in January 2004. They made a comeback in May 2021 and tied the knot in July 2022 for things to start going downhill again. So, what’s the story behind the Divorce rumors?
What’s Happening Between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez?

Gossip of divorce started flying around when both superstars weren’t seen together for 47 days. Things escalated when Lopez went to the Met Gala solo but it turns out that the actor was busy shooting The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles, which is why he couldn’t be with her there. Additionally, the couple live separately now, and word is flying around that Affleck is out there house-hunting. He is currently living at a house in Brentwood, California, away from Jennifer Lopez.
Rumor has it that Lopez is also house-hunting, but a source insisted that she’s merely looking for an investment property. Another source claims that the couple started having issues a few months ago as Lopez had started ramping up work commitments and preparing for her tour, noting that Lopez is very invested in her work as she preps for her summer This Is Me … Live tour, which kicks off next month.
Ben Affleck and His Ring Dilemma
Both Affleck and Lopez were spotted with their rings on May 16th. However, on May 17th, Affleck ditched his wedding ring as he was pulling up to his child’s recital. Cameras caught when he lifted his left hand while driving, revealing that he was without his wedding band. On the contrary, Lopez was spotted wearing a ring when she stepped out for dance practice. However, it’s unclear whether it was her matrimonial jewelry or not.
What could be the cause of the dilemma? The first time they broke it off, Ben Affleck blamed it on the scrutiny around their love life. In addition, he wanted no social media involvement, which he admitted later on that it makes no sense because being a celebrity married to another one like Jennifer Lopez, it’s far from being an easy task. But now, could it really be because of their excessive investment in work? Or is there something else going on behind the scenes?
Latest Updates
Affleck’s ring found its way back to his hands the next day. The twist, though, is that he was spotted with his wedding ring as he was meeting up with his ex, Jennifer Garner. The exes have met several times over the weekend to sort things out involving their kids, Fin and Samuel. Garner has always remained supportive of Affleck. So, it’s not shocking to see her showing up for him while he deals with his alleged marital crisis.
Both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez haven’t addressed the rumors yet. Are they really headed for a divorce? Or can the couple work things out without resorting to separating or divorcing?
