Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, a high-profile Hollywood couple, have been making headlines recently due to rumors of marital issues and potential separation. According to multiple sources, Ben was spotted leaving his house in Brentwood, California on May 16, 2023 after moving out of the marital home he shared with Jennifer. The couple had reportedly been looking for a new house together in various posh areas including Pacific Palisades, Bel Air and Beverly Hills before settling into a mansion in May 2023. The mansion, which features 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and 15 fireplaces, was said to be their dream home.
Jennifer was also seen at the Met Gala solo on May 7 without Ben by her side. She had been attending various events in New York promoting her upcoming Netflix movie Atlas while Ben stayed behind to film The Accountant 2 on the west coast.
Despite these reports, both Ben and Jennifer were spotted wearing their wedding rings in public on May 16, fueling speculation that they may not be splitting up after all. However, it is important to note that the couple's representatives have not yet commented on the situation.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez met on the set of Gigli in October 2001 and got engaged in November 2002 with a pink diamond ring. They famously dated from 2002 to 2004 before calling off their engagement. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas the following July, then held a star-studded reception for friends and family at Affleck's compound outside Savannah.
It is important to approach these rumors with a critical eye as the media can often sensationalize stories. It is also worth noting that both Ben and Jennifer have been known to wear their rings even when they are not together, so the sighting of their rings does not necessarily indicate that they are still married.
