In an unexpected twist to their love story, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are marking their second wedding anniversary apart.
While one might assume a couple would celebrate such a milestone together, sources reveal that the two are currently on opposite coasts—Lopez enjoying the summer in the Hamptons and Affleck busy in Los Angeles.
Despite the physical distance, insiders suggest that there are no immediate plans for either party to publicly announce a split.
According to a source who spoke with Fox News Digital, Lopez is deeply invested in making their relationship work, though it seems Affleck has evolved into someone quite different from the man she fell in love with.
The couple tied the knot in a spontaneous ceremony in Las Vegas back in July 2022, but as their anniversary approaches, it’s clear they’ve been living separate lives.
On Thursday, Jennifer was spotted leaving a gym in the Hamptons, showcasing her toned physique in a white bralette and light workout pants, accessorized with oversized gold hoops and stylish sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Affleck was seen entering his office in Los Angeles, looking sharp in a suit and blue shirt, carrying a duffle bag that hinted at his relentless work ethic.
Affleck’s dedication to his career has been unwavering, with sources indicating he spends most of his time at the office.
In contrast, Lopez has been nurturing her connection with Affleck’s eldest daughter, Violet, while enjoying her own time in New York.
Affleck shares three children—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez has twins, Max and Emma, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony.
Interestingly, Lopez has expressed a desire to bond with Affleck’s children, having adjusted her lifestyle to prioritize family.
Initially, she had hoped to blend their families seamlessly, but it seems that vision has not yet materialized.
The children reportedly adore Lopez, and there was a sense of joy when they witnessed their father happy in her company.
When Lopez and Affleck first rekindled their romance, Affleck committed to being a better father and integrating their families.
However, the current situation has raised eyebrows, particularly regarding the couple’s silence about their relationship status.
Earlier this year, Lopez’s focus on her films, which often draw inspiration from her personal life, may have inadvertently contributed to the couple’s low profile.
In a recent documentary, Lopez revealed that love letters penned by Affleck inspired her new album, showcasing how their personal life fuels her creativity.
Affleck acknowledged the intertwining of art and life, emphasizing the sanctity of private moments.
Yet, he also admitted the pressure of public perception can feel overwhelming, especially when every photograph seems to capture them in intimate moments.
Sources indicate that the couple is opting for discretion regarding their relationship.
Lopez, who has poured her heart into her film projects, believes that their love story is a personal journey rather than a public spectacle.
Their last notable public appearance together was 47 days ago, leading to swirling rumors about their relationship status.
Since then, sightings of the couple together have dwindled, with only a few appearances at family events like school graduations.
Compounding the speculation, reports have surfaced that Affleck has begun moving his belongings out of the home they shared, with Lopez reportedly remaining at their estate while Affleck resides nearby in a rental.
As whispers of a potential split circulate, insiders reveal that Lopez is heartbroken over the state of their marriage.
A romantic at heart, she had longed for their relationship to flourish, and the uncertainty surrounding their future has left her distressed.
The couple’s absence from each other’s lives has only fueled the fire of speculation, leaving fans and followers wondering what lies ahead for this once-inseparable duo.
