Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appear to be facing significant marital challenges, with insiders reporting that they are “on two completely different pages” as their honeymoon phase fades.
According to sources at Page Six, the couple, who married in 2022, have been “taking some space” to evaluate their relationship. Affleck is said to be “worn down” by Lopez’s lifestyle and is “checked out,” while Lopez is deeply immersed in work, preparing for her This Is Me… Live tour starting next month.
The couple’s demanding careers often keep them in different cities, contributing to their emotional and physical distance. Insiders reveal that communication issues and differing approaches to conflict, parenting, and finances have exacerbated their struggles. Recently, Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without Affleck, further fueling split rumors. Reports also indicate they have been living separately, with the Town actor photographed leaving a different residence, further highlighting their ongoing issues.

Bennifer recently reunited for a significant family moment, attending Affleck’s daughter Violet’s high school graduation in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 30. In photos, the couple was seen together with Affleck’s mother, Anne Boldt. Affleck, 51, dressed in a suit and carried a gift while Lopez, 54, wore a floral dress and sunglasses. They appeared united despite the recent reports of living separately. This public appearance marked their first together since May 19, with both busy with their respective career commitments: Lopez preparing for her concert tour and promoting her Netflix movie Atlas, and Affleck filming The Accountant 2.
This is in contrast to the weekend prior, when Affleck was seen attending his daughter’s graduation party with no JLo in sight.
