The relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appears to be going through another rough patch.
The Hollywood pair has hit a difficult patch in less than two years of marriage, despite the “Queen of Dance’s” purported $20 million, three-part love letter to Affleck expressed through her single This Is Me… Now, the multihyphenate musical sci-fi film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, and the Amazon Prime documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
‘Affleck not to be blamed’
According to a recent report by Touch Weekly, which focused on the couple’s tumultuous marriage, Affleck may have already “moved out” of their shared home.
The unnamed source who spilled the alleged secret to the website said, “The writing is on the wall—it’s over… They’re headed for a divorce—and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!”
As one of the co-chairs of the Met Gala, JLo assumed a crucial role on May 6. But Affleck stayed out of the picture, so he was unable to support his wife during her glamorous red carpet moment.
Did Affleck call it quit?
Despite the initial media reports linking his nonattendance at the Gala to his official duties filming The Accountant 2, Touch Weekly’s latest allegations imply otherwise. Affleck had, in fact, “decided to call it quits” with the 54-year-old pop diva, according to the website’s insider.
Both Hollywood celebrities have taken a different approach to their time in the spotlight ever since they reignited their romance. The Air actor has been less visible in public, even though JLo has been the focus of numerous stories on camera.
He’s even admitted wanting to stay away from making headlines for his relationship, but also being stuck in limbo in Jenny From the Block’s documentary: “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain, and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re trying to learn to compromise.”
