Ben Affleck, 51, made headlines over the weekend as he was spotted spending several hours with his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, at their former residence in Los Angeles. The actor, known for his roles in “The Air” and “Alias,” appeared somber as he later departed, navigating traffic in Brentwood en route to his $100,000-per-month rental mansion.
Shortly after Affleck returned home, another familiar face appeared—his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, who was seen entering the property using a security keypad. Garner, dressed in a white sweater with her hair pulled back, has maintained a supportive presence despite their divorce in 2018. The couple shares three children: Violet, 18, Fin (formerly Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12.
The reunion between Affleck and Lopez has fueled ongoing speculation about the status of their relationship, particularly amidst reports hinting at marital discord and potential divorce. Observers have noted their apparent unease during recent public outings, further stoking rumors of a rift.
Sources close to the couple suggest that while Affleck and Lopez are not officially separated, they have been spending time apart and considering separate living arrangements. This follows a period where they had not been seen together publicly for nearly seven weeks, raising questions about the future of their relationship.
Meanwhile, Garner’s involvement in Affleck’s life has not gone unnoticed. Reports indicate that her current boyfriend, John Miller, has expressed concerns about the extent of her support for her ex-husband. Despite Miller’s reservations, sources emphasize Garner’s commitment to co-parenting and ensuring stability for their children.
“John cares deeply for Ben and understands the complexities involved,” an insider shared. “However, he believes that Ben’s marital issues should be handled by Ben and Jennifer themselves, without Jen needing to intervene.”
Garner, a respected figure in Hollywood known for her caring nature, has navigated the challenges of co-parenting with sensitivity. She has reportedly assured Affleck that she is available for him to discuss any concerns, although Affleck, mindful of burdening his ex-wife, often limits their discussions to matters concerning their children.
As Affleck and Lopez navigate their personal challenges, their public appearances continue to draw scrutiny, with fans and media alike speculating on the future of their relationship. Amidst the speculation and rumors, Garner remains a steadfast presence in Affleck’s life, prioritizing their children’s well-being above all else.
