Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently marked their second wedding anniversary, but they did so apart, fueling ongoing rumors of marital strife and divorce. Here’s a closer look at how they spent this significant day and what it might mean for their future.
Spending Anniversary Apart
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were miles apart on their second wedding anniversary. Lopez spent her time in New York, while Affleck stayed in California. This separation comes amid increasing reports of tension in their marriage.
Since May, Lopez has been spending most of her time in New York. This period coincides with the first signs of trouble in their marriage. Affleck missed key events, like the 2024 Met Gala and the premiere of Lopez’s latest film, Atlas.
Reflecting on Their Wedding
July 16 marked two years since Lopez and Affleck obtained their marriage license in Las Vegas. Their wedding was followed by a grand celebration at Affleck’s estate in Georgia, attended by family and friends.
Signs of Marital Problems
On their anniversary, Lopez was seen enjoying a bike ride in the Hamptons. She wore white overalls and brown sandals, with her hair up in a bun. She was also spotted with her manager, Benny Medina.
Meanwhile, Affleck was seen entering his Los Angeles office in a black suit. Though he didn’t join Lopez in New York, he was still wearing his wedding ring.
Even the 4th of July didn’t bring them together. Lopez celebrated in New York, while Affleck stayed in LA. However, Lopez was recently seen spending quality time with Affleck’s daughter, Violet, in the Hamptons, indicating a good relationship with his family.
Selling Their Beverly Hills Home
Adding to the speculation, Lopez and Affleck listed their Beverly Hills mansion for sale on July 11. The couple bought this 38,000-square-foot home, featuring 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and a fully equipped gym, for $60,850,000 in May 2023. Now, they are asking for $68 million, showing they are eager to sell.
A Look Back
Last year, Lopez marked their first wedding anniversary by sharing selfies from their impromptu Vegas wedding on Instagram, recalling their midnight trip.
For those unfamiliar, Lopez and Affleck were also engaged in the early 2000s but broke up in 2004 due to overwhelming public scrutiny.
As Lopez and Affleck navigate this challenging period, fans are left wondering what the future holds for this iconic couple.
