Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez divorce rumors gain ground after ex-wife Jennifer Garner visits him alone
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Amid rumors that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's marriage is in disarray, Jennifer Garner paid a visit to the rented home where her ex-husband has been living alone.
This transpired only a few hours after Garner and Affleck, 52, got together in Santa Monica for their son Samuel's basketball game.
Affleck and Lopez, who have been married since July 2022, have not been spotted together since March 30, and several rumors indicate that they are having marital problems.
Jennifer Garner visits ex Ben Affleck amid JLo split rumors
The 'Elektra' actress, 52, was snapped on Saturday, May 18, pulling up to the 'Good Will Hunting' actor's Brentwood estate, where he has been residing since leaving his and wife Lopez's marital residence.
While visiting Affleck's new residence alone, Garner was spotted leaning out of her car to enter the passcode to unlock the gates. Garner did not appear to be accompanied by any of the three children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, from her former spouse.
She wore sunglasses and a black hoodie for a laid-back look as she drove her gleaming black BMW i7 car to his residence, per Daily Mail.
They had met earlier in the day during Samuel's basketball game, but they left the game separately.
Although Garner and Affleck appear to get along well, insiders claimed that the 'On the Floor' singer and the 'Air' star have been "living separately" as rumors of a divorce between them gets stronger.
Lopez's absence has contributed to the separation speculation since the couple have not been spotted together for 47 days as of Thursday, May 16.
Ben Affleck allegedly moved out of JLo and his $60 million LA mansion 'several weeks ago'
According to reports, the father-of-three left the couple's $60 million Los Angeles mansion "several weeks ago," but Lopez has been occupied by professional commitments in New York City.
According to sources, Affleck and Lopez haven't spent much time together lately as their two-year wedding anniversary draws near.
One insider revealed, "Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage. They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour."
"Jen is very focused on work," the close acquaintance said of the 54-year-old, who is now getting ready for her 'This Is Me... Live' tour, which is scheduled to launch in Orlando, Florida, in early June.
"They are on two completely different pages most of the time," the source added, per OK! Magazine.
More information about the potential end of the couple's relationship was provided by a second insider. The source revealed that they have "had their ups and downs."
"They have gone through phases where things haven't been as great between them due to their different personalities and not getting enough time together," the source said.
Further, Affleck has been sighted leaving his new $100,000-per-month rental house without his wedding band, which has fuelled rumors that he and Lopez are no longer together.
The insider reassured that despite their challenges, the duo have no plans to get divorced. The couple's alleged issues have the world abuzz, but one source previously told Entertainment Tonight that Lopez had "not been paying much attention to any outside hate."
