According to insiders close to the couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are quickly approaching divorce. Fans of the actors were hopeful that their marriage would last , as they have an enviable love story that began in the early 2000s.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck don’t have ‘summer plans together’ in 2024, a source claimed

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck seemed the perfect couple in the early 2000s. They got engaged in 2002 and broke off their engagement in 2004. Lopez and Affleck went their separate ways, with Affleck marrying Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony. Nearly 20 years later, Lopez and Affleck found their way back to each other, and they tied the knot in 2022.

So, what’s going on with the couple now? Insiders have noted that Lopez and Affleck have fundamental differences in how they live. While Lopez loves the spotlight, Affleck prefers a quiet life away from the cameras. Affleck reportedly moved out of his and Lopez’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion and into a $100,000 monthly rental near his ex, Garner.

A source told People that Affleck and Lopez don’t “have any summer plans together” in 2024 despite Lopez canceling her 2024 tour to spend time with family. Lopez spent the Fourth of July in the Hamptons in New York “with family and friends” and without Affleck. The insider added that Lopez “seems fine.” After the holiday, Lopez was spotted shopping in Bridgehampton, New York. Affleck spent his holiday in Los Angeles.

Another source told Page Six that Lopez prioritizes “health, happiness, and joy” this summer. “Nothing can break her spirit,” the source noted. “She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.”

While Jennifer Lopez spent time in New York after her European vacation , Ben Affleck stayed in Los Angeles. He spent the Fourth of July with his three kids, whom he shares with Jennifer Garner.

On July 9, 2024, Affleck was spotted at his LA office. He reportedly wore his wedding ring and looked happy despite Lopez’s absence.

It seems likely that Affleck will stay in LA in the event of a divorce from Lopez. He’ll want to remain close to his kids and Garner, whom he confides in regarding his marital woes.

He and Lopez are reportedly selling their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion. A source told People that neither Lopez nor Affleck “liked” the mansion, so selling it makes sense whether they plan to separate or not.

“Ben never liked the house,” the source said. “It’s too far away from his kids.” As for why Lopez doesn’t like her 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home, the insider added, “The house is way too big for her.”

Jennifer Lopez might make a permanent move to New York

While Ben Affleck will likely stay in Los Angeles if he and Jennifer Lopez divorce , Lopez might make a permanent move to New York . A source told In Touch Weekly that Lopez was pushing for a move to New York before she and Affleck were having marriage troubles.

“Even before things went totally south with Ben, she was pushing for a full-time move to New York, and now she’s decided to go ahead with that after the split,” the insider said. “… She’ll probably keep a place in LA, but she needs to get away from all the noise and the scrutiny on the West Coast.”

“There’s nothing to stop her from taking the kids and making a fresh start back in New York,” the insider continued. “They’ve got plenty of schools back east, and she’s got a great social circle there.”
