The star couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have become tangled in divorce rumours. Their recent pictures and public appearances have left speculations about their relationship abuzz.
Although neither of the stars has given their nod to the rumours, the talks about their alleged separation don’t seem to die down. Let’s take a closer look at the controversy and its source.
How did Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce rumours begin?
The rumours about a potential separation began earlier this year when fans noticed that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck hadn’t been seen together publicly since the end of March. Ben didn’t join JLo at the Met Gala and neither for her press tour for “Atlas.”
This unusual absence led to a flurry of reports suggesting that the couple might be experiencing trouble in matrimony paradise.
Recent updates by Page Six suggest that their marriage has run its course amid reports that Ben has relocated his belongings from their shared home. The couple is also allegedly selling their art and home.
JLo’s Indirect Response
Following the widespread rumours, JLo addressed them indirectly through her newsletter, “OnTheJLo.” The post published in June 2024 celebrated the success of her latest film, “Atlas,” which topped global charts on Netflix.
Towards the end, she also made a point about negativity. “It may seem like there’s a lot of negativity out in the world right now,” she wrote. Further stating that fans shouldn’t let that drown out all the love. Although she didn’t directly address the separation rumours, her statement seemed to acknowledge the ongoing gossip about her marriage.
Adding fuel to the ongoing fire, JLo recently cancelled her summer tour. In her official statement, she stated that she needed to spend more time with her family and close friends. This decision and statement led to further speculation about potential issues in her marital life.
However, shortly after this announcement, Jennifer and Ben were seen together, attending a basketball game in Los Angeles with Ben’s son, Samuel. Jennifer also wrote a sweet Father’s Day message to celebrate Ben on her Instagram.
Their joint appearance at a family event and sweet celebrations suggests that the couple might still be together, despite the rumours.
Recently, Daily Mail has reported that the couple aren’t spending their Independence Day celebration together, but Ben was seen wearing his wedding band. Basically, things are in the air until confirmed otherwise.
Fans and Netizens’ Reactions
The public and media have been abuzz with reactions to these rumours. Fans have been trying to piece together the available information to discover the couple’s status. Meanwhile, media outlets have closely followed every move made by the couple to provide more puzzle pieces.
However, the rumours about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce continue to remain among netizens. Some believe that the rumours are more than enough to confirm their possible separation while few are waiting for official confirmation before jumping to any conclusions.
Afterall, without direct confirmation from either artist, the true state of their relationship is known only to them. For now, fans can only speculate from available information and hope for the best for the couple.
