BEL AIR, LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had a lengthy meeting at their $60 million marital house, which they have reportedly put up for sale, as their marriage is allegedly ending.
Page Six reported that the 51-year-old actor and his wife of almost two years were together at the house from 5 pm to 9 pm local time on Sunday, June 9.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly living separately
This came as reports have said that their paradise has been facing trouble and they could end up getting divorced. The two stars tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their romance almost twenty years later.
Affleck is believed to have left the luxurious residence to live separately at a $100,000-per-month rental place in Brentwood.
He and the 54-year-old actress have also reportedly hired realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency to sell their pricey property at around $65 million after buying it for $60.85 million in May last year.
The 43,000-square-foot mansion includes 17 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, an indoor sports complex, a sports bar, parking for 80 vehicles as well as outdoor lounging, and a zero-edge pool.
As per a source who spoke with ET, “Jen and Ben have been living separate lives but have not officially separated yet. At this point, they are just doing their own thing. They went into their relationship very optimistic and thought things could change, but they haven't.”
“Jen is touring houses and shopping around for her own home. She has been leaning on her mom, sisters, and kids during this transitional period,” they stated.
Ben Affleck is ‘leaning on Matt Damon’
The tipster mentioning ‘Gone Girl’ star further disclosed, “Ben is sad about it all but focused on his work, being a great dad, and co-parenting well with Jennifer Garner.
“He has been leaning on Matt Damon and his close circle of guy friends. Matt is always in Ben’s corner and is supportive of him,” the insider added.
Jennifer Lopez claimed to be ‘heartsick and devastated’
Amid the drama, Lopez also canceled the ‘This is Me…’ live tour.
The JLo newsletter shared, as reported by CNN, “Representatives for Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour ‘THIS IS ME…LIVE’ is canceled. Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends.”
It also included a message from the ‘On The Floor’ singer that read, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
“I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…” she added.
