‘Embarrassing’: ‘All signs’ point to a future divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have tried their best to put on a united front — but the couple’s marriage has allegedly been over for months.

According to Page Six sources, they’ve been apart since March, but Affleck is “very protective of Jennifer.”

Rumours of the couple’s split hit fever pitch in May after Affleck was noticeably absent from Lopez’s side at major red carpet events — like the Met Gala, which she co-chaired this year.

He also didn’t accompany her to the premiere of her new Netflix project, Atlas.

Lopez then added fuel to the rumour mill when she liked an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships.

“You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves,” said the post.

Lopez later cancelled her greatest hits tour, This Is Me…Live, Page Six exclusively reported, to take time off, “to be with her children, family and close friends.”

“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she told fans in her On the J Lo newsletter.

“Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary,” she added promising to make it up to her fans.

The couple were married in 2022 on Affleck’s sprawling estate in Georgia.

Back in May, a source told Page Six that Affleck had “come to his senses” about his and J Lo’s short-lived marriage and wanted to call it quits.

But aside from a few paparazzi-covered outings in Los Angeles — and the couple’s attendance at graduation for one of Affleck’s kids — J Lo recently hit Italy and France solo on vacation, and Affleck reportedly moved all of his belongings out of their $US60 million marital mansion while she was away.

They’re said to be selling their home just a year after they purchased it.

Reps for the couple did not comment.

On Sunday, Affleck was spotted visiting the home of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
