Recent reports suggest that actor Ben Affleck is currently residing in a separate residence from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, amidst swirling rumors of marital discord. Affleck, 51, was spotted driving his sports car in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he has allegedly been staying at a different house from Lopez, 54. Notably, Affleck was seen wearing his wedding ring during this outing.
It has been disclosed that Affleck has been occupying the Brentwood property for about a week, while his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, resides nearby. Speculation about trouble in Affleck and Lopez's marriage arose when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala unaccompanied.
Although Affleck missed the Met Gala due to filming commitments for 'The Accountant 2,' he did attend Tom Brady's Netflix roast the night before the event. Lopez was recently observed house hunting in Beverly Hills with her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, without Affleck by her side.
Reports indicate that the couple is undergoing therapy to address their relationship issues. A source mentioned that Affleck is willing to participate in therapy despite his reservations, emphasizing that he does not solely base the success of their marriage on therapy outcomes.
Affleck and Lopez have a blended family of five children, with Affleck sharing three kids with Garner and Lopez being a mother to twins from her previous marriage. The insider revealed that conflicts are a common occurrence in the couple's relationship, with Affleck reportedly having a higher tolerance for such disagreements.
