The headlines have been buzzing with rumours about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck for months, with ongoing speculation about their relationship’s status. Despite the widespread conjecture, the couple has remained silent about their marital situation.
Now, it seems like someone who knows the couple wants to make a few things clear.
Despite rampant speculation that their marriage is on the brink, no formal statement has been made by either party.
The source disclosed that the delay in announcing their separation stems from the couple’s desire to ensure a smooth transition, particularly for all parties involved. They are committed to handling the situation with grace, understanding, and sensitivity, without rushing the process.
The media and public have largely perceived the separation between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck as evident.
The pair haven’t been seen together for months, with Lopez recently vacationing in Europe alone and celebrating her 55th birthday without Affleck.
Together, they have five children. Affleck has three children with his former wife Jennifer Garner, and Lopez has twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
A source emphasized the importance of the children in this situation, stating, “They are ensuring the children are comfortable with the transition and their living arrangements. They aim to prevent any sudden disruptions for their kids and are working together to make this transition as smooth and healthy as possible.”
Another insider revealed that Affleck, who recently moved into a new home closer to Garner, feels “hopeful” about this change, which facilitates easier co-parenting.
“Ben is really pleased with his new residence and optimistic about the future,” the source said. “Despite the challenges, he remains focused on his wellbeing and family.”
A different source noted that the proximity of Affleck’s new home to his children was a deliberate choice, providing him a fresh space to concentrate on work and creativity without distractions.
Regarding Lopez, an insider close to her stated that she is “ready to move forward and close this chapter amicably.”
“The timing made her birthday challenging, but with the support of her friends and family, she’s managing well,” the insider added.
This isn’t Lopez and Affleck’s first relationship stint; they were initially together from 2002 to 2004, calling off their first engagement in January 2004. They reunited and married in Las Vegas in July 2022 after rekindling their relationship in 2021.
