Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have reportedly been giving each other space. The couple, rumored to be facing a separation, spent the entire summer apart and missed significant milestones together, including the Fourth of July, their wedding anniversary, and J.Lo’s birthday. This time apart seems to reflect their mutual decision to handle the situation with respect and consideration for each other’s needs.
Affleck and Lopez Spending Time Apart
Amidst ongoing rumors of a separation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been keeping their distance, spending the entire summer apart and missing significant holidays together. The couple was notably absent from each other’s celebrations for the Fourth of July, their wedding anniversary, and J.Lo’s birthday. Sources close to the couple reveal that Affleck is making an effort to respect Lopez’s space during this transitional period. According to an insider, “Ben is being as respectful of J.Lo as he can right now since he was the one that left. But he’s moving forward with his life.”
The source also disclosed that Affleck has committed to allowing Lopez the time she needs before filing for divorce. “Ben’s vowed to let her file for divorce in her own time. Until that happens, he’ll continue to wear his ring,” the insider reported. This gesture underscores Affleck’s intention to handle the separation with dignity, despite the growing distance between them.
Affleck Embraces New Home and Personal Space
Recently, Ben Affleck purchased a new home in Los Angeles, listing the couple’s shared Beverly Hills mansion for sale. This new residence reflects Affleck’s personal taste and provides a more comfortable and private living space compared to the opulent Beverly Hills property. A source close to the actor revealed, “He’s very happy to have a new home that fits him and his needs a whole lot better than the one he and J.Lo bought together. He never felt comfortable in that place, it was way too huge and ostentatious for his taste.”
Affleck’s new home is described as “low-key in design” and situated on a large plot of land, offering him increased privacy. This move coincides with the actor’s need for a more personal retreat, especially as he continues to navigate his separation from Lopez. Despite the change in his personal life, Affleck celebrated his 52nd birthday with his children in a small gathering at his new residence, while Lopez celebrated her own birthday separately in the Hamptons.
