Amid speculations of Lopez and Affleck splitting up, multiple sources have confirmed that the duo is no longer living together.
“He’s living separately from her right now,” a source said about Affleck, who married the dancer in July 2022 after they rekindled their love following an initial split years ago.

Despite the subtle separation, the duo is still committed to their responsibilities to their blended family, although it has been difficult due to the strain on their relationship.
“At first it was a whirlwind of love and now that real life is setting in, it’s hard,” an insider shared about the couple, per Fox News. “They are both involved in each other’s kids’ lives and consider themselves one big family unit, so it’s been hard for everyone.”

According to a source who spoke to People magazine, Affleck and Lopez’s marriage is “not in the best place at the moment.”
The insider claimed that Lopez, who “likes to open her heart to her fans and the world,” remains in their $60 million Beverly Hills home, while Affleck prefers a more private life and stays in a nearby rental.
“He is more introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day,” the source said.
Lopez’s documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” highlighted the couple’s differences. The documentary, which premiered on Prime Video in February, features Affleck discussing their 2021 reunion, 17 years after their previous relationship ended due to intense media scrutiny of “Bennifer.”
“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,” said Affleck. “Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain, and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.'”
He also acknowledged that he and Lopez are “two people with different approaches trying to find a way to compromise.”
