Jennifer Lopez, the 54-year-old multi-hyphenate star, was recently seen leaving her upscale Equinox gym in The Hamptons, making what appears to be a silent statement about her personal life. The sighting comes amidst swirling rumors of marital troubles with husband Ben Affleck, as the couple hasn’t been photographed together in nearly 50 days.
In a move that’s raising eyebrows, Lopez has traded her gold ‘Ben’ heart necklace for a brand-new diamond-encrusted necklace bearing her own name, ‘Jennifer,’ in cursive script. This change in jewelry is being interpreted by many as a potential sign of relationship turmoil, given the couple’s history of wearing each other’s names as accessories.
The “On The Floor” singer put on a busty display in a black tank top that appeared to be a size too small, showcasing her impressive abs. She paired this with white drawstring slacks and a NY Yankees cap – a notable choice given her ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez’s history with the team. Her highlighted hair was worn down as she made her way to a gold car driven by a female friend.
The couple, affectionately dubbed “Bennifer” by fans, has been the subject of divorce rumors for several weeks. Sources claim they’ve been living apart for months, with Affleck reportedly residing in a $100,000-per-month rental home near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The couple’s $68 million Beverly Hills mansion has recently been put on the market, fueling speculation about the state of their relationship.
Despite the rumors, sources close to the family suggest that the couple’s combined five children are working behind the scenes to reconcile their parents. An insider told DailyMail.com, “The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don’t want them to divorce.” The children are reportedly highlighting each parent’s positive attributes and encouraging them to work through their issues.
As Lopez approaches her 55th birthday on July 24, there’s speculation about whether the couple will reunite for a family celebration. She’s been spotted in the Hamptons, laying low and enjoying bike rides, while Affleck has been seen in Los Angeles working on new projects.
While divorce rumors persist, some sources suggest there’s still hope for reconciliation. Us Weekly reported that there’s a “sliver of hope” the couple could work things out, with Lopez allegedly suggesting they “take time to figure it out.” As of now, both Lopez and Affleck continue to wear their wedding rings, leaving fans and observers speculating about the future of one of Hollywood’s most famous couples.
As this high-profile relationship continues to make headlines, the public remains captivated by every move Lopez and Affleck make, from jewelry choices to real estate decisions. Whether this is truly the end of Bennifer 2.0 or just another chapter in their complex love story remains to be seen.
