Affleck has not publicly addressed the rumors but has been living separately in a $100,000-per-month rental mansion for weeks. Lopez has been confiding in Garner, fearing that the strain of their marriage could cause Affleck to relapse. In response to the turmoil, Live Nation announced that Lopez canceled her upcoming This Is Me… Live tour to spend time with her children, family, and close friends.
The insider added that while Affleck and Lopez will be apart while he works on his movies, Lopez is determined to make extra efforts to be together during their days off. They stressed that the couple hasn’t fallen out of love, but that Lopez wants to rekindle the spark that brought them back together in 2021. She wants Affleck to feel better about their relationship.

The primary issue in their marriage appears to be communication. Some sources suggested that their spending habits were causing strain, but insiders deny this, emphasizing that their communication is the real problem.
Their marriage came under scrutiny after they went 47 days without being seen together in public, despite previously making frequent loved-up appearances. Last month, they made a rare united front to celebrate Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation party at Garner’s home. However, photos showed them heading back to Affleck’s rental mansion, while Lopez left with her assistant shortly after arriving.

The couple reunited again the second of June to attend his son Samuel’s basketball game, along with his mother Chris and Garner. Notably, they greeted each other with an awkward air kiss, highlighting the tension between them.
Lopez recently canceled her entire summer tour, stating she needed to be with her family. She added, “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
We hope the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez normalizes soon, allowing them to find happiness together again. Their love has weathered many storms, and we believe they can overcome this challenge as well.
