    The author does not commit any formal or informal fallacies in the article. However, there are a few instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority that border on fallacious but do not quite reach that threshold. The author states 'Despite their ups and downs, the couple don’t have plans to separate just yet.' This is an appeal to authority as it implies that there is some insider knowledge or information about the couple's plans, but no evidence or citation is provided for this claim.
    • ]Despite their ups and downs, the couple don’t have plans to separate just yet.[
    • An additional insider added that Affleck moved out of the duo’s L.A. mansion ‘several weeks ago.’
