Ben Affleck Finally Confirms Sad Truth We All Know About Marriage to Jennifer Lopez

Despite persistent divorce whispers, Affleck is reportedly staying at a lavish Brentwood rental, away from the marital home.  

 An insider disclosed, “Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental,” adding that he’s been there for about two months now.  

**Affleck, always the professional, has been going about his business with a laser focus.**  

 “He seems okay,” said another source. “He’s been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He’s also spending time with his kids.”  

The couple shares three children from Affleck’s previous marriage to Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.  

**Meanwhile, Lopez has been spotted indulging in some European escapism, gallivanting around Paris and Italy with close friends.**  

Sources claim she’s trying to inject some fun into her summer amid the marital storm.  

**Despite the physical separation, the couple remains in contact, primarily due to their intertwined business ventures.**  

 Lopez is slated to star in two upcoming films produced by Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company: *Unstoppable* and *Kiss Of The Spider Woman*.  

**This comes hot on the heels of reports suggesting J.Lo is ‘over’ trying to salvage her marriage with Affleck.**  

An industry insider told DailyMail.com, “Jenny has had enough and she really tried, but she can do no more. It’s not getting any better, it’s worse.”  

**The alleged crux of the issue? Affleck’s reportedly ‘grumpy and negative’ demeanor.**  

Comparisons have been drawn to Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street, painting a picture of a man whose moodiness could sour even the sunniest of days.  

**Lopez, though saddened by the situation, is reportedly making the best of it.**  

She’s focusing on self-care, spending quality time with her twins Max and Emme, and crafting plans for a bright future.  

One of her bold moves includes resuming her ‘This Is Me… Live’ tour in the summer of 2025, coinciding with her 56th birthday.  

Originally scheduled for July 2024, the tour was postponed as Lopez sought to ‘recollect herself’ amidst personal turmoil.  

 **A source close to the star revealed, “She is excited about going on tour next year when her personal life is on calmer ground and she can connect with her fans.”**  

“She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it,” the insider added.  

**Lopez is also reportedly shocked by the negative press she’s received, considering it unfair.**  

“If people could see what she has really gone through, they would be easier on her,” a source lamented.  

**But where did it all begin? Let’s rewind to the early 2000s, a simpler time when the seeds of ‘Bennifer’ were first sown.**  

The couple met in 2002 while filming *Gigli*, a romantic comedy that was panned by critics but ignited a real-life romance.  

They quickly became one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood, earning the nickname ‘Bennifer’.  

**In November 2002, Affleck proposed with a stunning pink diamond ring, but the fairy tale hit a snag when they called off their engagement in January 2004.**  

 The breakup sent shockwaves through Hollywood, with fans left wondering if the couple would ever rekindle their romance.  

**Fast forward nearly two decades to the spring of 2021, when Affleck and Lopez found their way back to each other.**  

Their reunion was met with media frenzy and fan excitement, culminating in a Las Vegas wedding in July 2022.  

**The couple’s love story was further celebrated with a grand wedding at Affleck’s sprawling Georgia estate the following month.**  

However, the journey has been anything but smooth sailing, with the pressures of public life weighing heavily on their relationship.  

**Rumors of discord have plagued the couple, with Lopez reportedly doing everything in her power to make the marriage work.**  

“She really tried hard to make it work, and it just did not work,” a friend confided.  

**The challenges of balancing two high-profile careers have only added to the strain.**  

 “It’s very hard for two massive stars to keep a marriage going,” a source noted. “One has to give in, and in this case, neither gave in.”  

**Despite their differences, the insider insists there is no bad blood between them.**  

 “There is no one to blame here. It just was not in the cards,” they said.  

**Affleck’s personality, often described as intense and brooding, is a stark contrast to Lopez’s lively and energetic demeanor.**  

“He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time,” the source shared. “Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?”  

 **Yet, Affleck is still regarded as a wonderful father, deeply involved in the lives of his children.**  

“He is a wonderful father,” the source acknowledged, emphasizing his dedication to his kids.

**As for Lopez, she remains hopeful and resilient, determined to forge a new path forward.**

 “She is living alone and not with Ben, I think everyone knows that already, so that is a major change for her and the kids,” a friend revealed.  

 **Despite the heartache, Lopez is committed to turning the page and embracing her future with optimism.**  

 “She is excited about what lies ahead and is ready to take on new challenges,” the source concluded, leaving fans eager to see what the next chapter holds for J.Lo.**
