Ben Affleck moved out of the house he shares with his wife, Jennifer Lopez, a few weeks ago, according to a source talking to Us Weekly.
The couple, who got married in 2022 after calling off their first engagement 20 years ago, bought a $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills in June 2023.
Earlier this month, there were rumors that they had split up because they hadn’t been seen together for 47 days. However, they were seen together on Thursday, May 17, in photos obtained by In Touch.
A second source said that Lopez and Affleck have not broken up but are having some problems in their marriage and are living apart. This source also mentioned that Lopez is looking for a new property, but only as an investment.
“Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage,” the insider said earlier this week. “They started having problems a few months ago when Jen started getting busier with work and preparing for her tour.”
Lopez is getting ready to start her This Is Me … Live tour in June. The tour will feature songs from her latest album, This Is Me … Now, and a short film and documentary that go with it. Many of the songs are about her relationship with Affleck. (They originally called off their wedding in 2004 because of too much media attention, and got back together in 2021.)
“I don’t think he’s very comfortable with me doing all of this,” Lopez said in the February special This Is Me … Now: A Love Story. “But he loves me, knows I’m an artist, and will support me because he knows he can’t stop me from making my music. He doesn’t want to stop me. … But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the inspiration for my work.”
Affleck said in the documentary that he is proud of Lopez’s self-funded project.
Lopez and Affleck got back together in May 2021 after breaking up with Alex Rodriguez and Ana de Armas. Affleck proposed to Lopez again in April 2022, and they eloped in Las Vegas in July. Only their children were there to witness the wedding. (Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Affleck has Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.)
Affleck and Lopez had another wedding ceremony one month later in August 2022 at his estate in Georgia.
