Rumours of Ben Affleck and JLo’s divorce first surfaced online a couple of weeks back when In Touch Weekly reported that their relationship had hit a rough patch.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce rumours have been making headlines for the last few days. While the couple has not issued any official statement as of now, the Gone Girl actor was recently spotted without his wedding ring.
In new pictures obtained by Page Six, Affleck was recently seen trying to “purposefully” hide his ring finger when he was spotted by the paparazzi while picking up his son from school.
Despite their much-publicised breakup in 2004, J-Lo and Ben evolved over the years, culminating in their rekindled romance and eventual marriage in July 2022. However, rumours of Ben and JLo’s divorce surfaced online a couple of weeks back when In Touch Weekly reported that their relationship had hit a rough patch. “Ben Affleck has hit a breaking point with Jennifer Lopez and has moved out of the home they share,” a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed. “‘The writing is on the wall — it’s over,’ ‘They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben‘s] not to blame!’” the insider added.
However, the reason for their alleged divorce was not reported. It was said that the couple parted ways because “she can’t control him, and he can’t change her”. “He’s focusing on his work and his kids now. Ben already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted,” the source claimed.
Recently, Jennifer was promoting her upcoming movie Atlas in Mexico when a reporter asked her to address divorce rumours. However, Lopez chose to remain silent and shut down the reporter saying, “You know better than that.” It should be noted that during these promotional events, JLo has been spotted with her wedding ring.
Meanwhile, on Friday, it was reported that JLo is ‘confiding’ in Jennifer Garner, who was previously married to Affleck for over a decade. A report by Daily Mail claimed that Garner is offering support to Lopez and hoping her relationship with Ben Affleck gets better. “JLo has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through,” a source said. The insider further claimed that Garner “doesn’t want Ben out of this marriage because she cares about JLo.”
