What in the world is going on with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck these days? Despite their separation, the dynamic duo is still sending out signals that they are trying to stick together all while their Beverly Hills home is back on the market. The mixed messages might be sending fans into a tailspin, but the 54-year-old superstar and the 51-year-old Oscar winner are not going to easily call it quits.
On Saturday, Lopez headed to The Grove with her 16-year-old teen, Emme, while wearing her wedding ring. (You can see the photos HERE.) The bling was on full display for the mob of paparazzi who followed her to one of LA’s favorite hotspots — you don’t go to The Grove if you want to hide. She looked focused and a bit weary by all of the attention, but her outfit was causal and breezy. Her white crop top and slouchy khaki pants paired with white sneakers gave off a fashionable vibe even as the world buzzed about the couple’s residence being back on the market after only a year of ownership.
TMZ confirmed over the weekend that Affleck and Lopez “are quietly trying to sell the home” they bought for $60.8 million last year. Realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency is handling the deal, but that’s why images of their property suddenly popped up on Zillow last week. Lopez has been spotted looking at homes without Affleck, who is currently in a rental in the Brentwood area. It doesn’t bode well for their marriage, but unlike Lopez’s wedding ring, Affleck has been seen with his ring on, then off, and then on again.
The only thing fans can hope for is that they are working things out behind closed doors, which isn’t easy given the very public nature of their relationship. “Ben doesn’t seem as invested in trying to repair the relationship as he was before,” a source claimed to Fox News Digital. “He seems to have pulled back and is trying less and less. He’s really thrown himself into work and is focused on that right now more than his marriage.” As they navigate their way through couple’s counseling, the insider noted that “Ben hasn’t been as committed to it as he was before and has even skipped some sessions.”
It sounds like Lopez is the one now fighting for her marriage to Affleck, whom an Us Weekly source described as “checked out” because “the honeymoon phase has worn off.” Let’s hope these two A-listers figure out the best way to move forward in a way that’s healthy for them, and their blended family.
