Jennifer Lopez recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her new film, Atlas. Despite speculation about her marriage to Ben Affleck, Lopez did not address the rumors directly. However, she did mention Affleck’s name while telling a story about Barbra Streisand admiring an engagement ring he had given her years ago. Lopez wore a simple silver band on her ring finger during the show and walked the red carpet solo at the film’s premiere afterward.
The couple, affectionately known as Bennifer, sparked breakup rumors when they had not been seen together in public for some time. Lopez attended the Met Gala alone while Affleck attended an event by himself. Sources revealed that the couple had hit a rough patch in their relationship, with Lopez focusing on work commitments and preparing for her upcoming tour. Despite being on different pages, they do not have plans to separate but have been spending time apart.
Affleck and Lopez have been photographed together since the split rumors began. They were seen attending a school function for one of their kids, both wearing their wedding rings. However, Affleck was spotted without his ring earlier that day. They were also seen driving together in Brentwood, California, looking happy. The couple began dating in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of Gigli, but called off their engagement in 2004. They reconnected in 2021, got married in a secret ceremony in 2022, and followed it with a bigger celebration with friends and family.
Despite the relationship challenges, Lopez and Affleck seem to be working through their issues and are still spending time together. They continue to be supportive of each other and make efforts to maintain their bond. The couple’s ups and downs have been closely followed by fans and the media, but they have remained mostly private about their personal lives. As they navigate the pressures of fame and busy schedules, Lopez and Affleck strive to keep their relationship strong and resilient amidst the challenges they face.
