Ben Affleck is reportedly staying at a separate house from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, after rumours surfaced claiming the couple was headed for divorce.

Page Six obtained photos of the actor riding in his sports car Thursday morning in the Brentwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles, where TMZ reported he left a house that he’d been staying the night in.

In the picture, Affleck, 51, was seen wearing his wedding ring as he dangled his left hand out of the window.

The Gone Girl star has reportedly been staying at the Brentwood home “over the past week or so” and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, lives nearby.

Page Six has reached out to Affleck’s representatives for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Rumours began surfacing that Affleck and Lopez, 54, were having marital issues when she attended the 2024 Met Gala solo last week.

A source told TMZ that the dad of three could not attend fashion’s biggest night because he had been busy filming The Accountant 2.

However, Affleck was present for Tom Brady’s Netflix roast, which was filmed the night before the Met on May 5.

Earlier this week, Lopez was seen house hunting with her longtime producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, in Beverly Hills, California – and Affleck was nowhere to be seen.

InTouch reported that Lopez and Affleck are in therapy to work on their marital issues.

“Ben believes in therapy, to a point, and is willing to be a good sport about participating with an open mind, even though he hates the whole humiliating process,” a source told the outlet.

“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 claimed to have known Affleck for more than a decade, said “everything is a fight” between the couple, who wed in July 2022.

Affleck and his wife have a blended family of five children. He shares children Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Garner, 52.

Meanwhile, Lopez is mum to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
