Are Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Getting Divorced?
Just months after the couple shared some romantic outings and date nights, Ben Affleck reportedly stayed at their Brentwood home, away from wife Jennifer Lopez, for about a week. The Internet is rife with speculation about troubles in marriage. Some reports suggest that the marital discord between Affleck and Lopez intensified after the singer attended the 2024 Met Gala alone last week.
Though Affleck’s notable absence from the Met Gala was attributed to his busy filming schedule for ‘The Accountant 2‘, the actor was seen at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast the night before the Met Gala on May 5.
Besides, Lopez was also spotted house hunting in Beverly Hills with her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas earlier this week. Affleck was notably absent during these outings. All these incidents have sparked speculation that the two are planning on staying apart and potentially getting divorced.

Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are Going To Couple’ Therapy
Amid all the fresh speculation, InTouch reported that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are undergoing couple therapy to resolve their marital issues. A source revealed that while Affleck believes in therapy to some extent, he views it as a challenging and often humiliating process.
“He’s never going to gauge the success of this marriage by what happens in the therapist’s office. He also has a higher tolerance for conflict and having to fight to get his way than the average guy,” the insider, who claims to have known Affleck for over a decade, told Page Six.
The source further noted that the star couple has had their ups and downs and their frequent conflicts have become a norm in their relationship since they tied the knot in July 2022 .
They currently have a blended family of five children. Affleck shares three kids—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with Garner, while Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
None of the celebrities have yet addressed the news of their marital discord.
