For a few months, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s stories have dominated news cycles. Without any concrete information from the pair, people have been guessing about their breakup for some time.
It appears that someone who is aware of the pair would like to clarify a few points.
Although there are many unfounded reports regarding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s split and the end of their marriage, the couple has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.

The “couple” is holding off on making their formal separation announcement because, according to a source who spoke to the media, they “want to make sure everything is seamless when they do, especially with everyone involved.” They both desire that this process not be hurried. They are attempting to handle the split with the utmost grace, compassion, and delicacy.

The public and media perceive their split as being rather clear-cut. The pair hasn’t been spotted together for some months. Lopez traveled alone to Europe on their most recent getaway, even though Affleck was not with her. In addition, she celebrated her 55th birthday, albeit Affleck was conspicuously missing from the festivities.
Between them, the couple has five children. While Lopez has twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, Affleck has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The children in the formula were mentioned by the source. They stated, “They want to make sure the kids are comfortable with the transition and where they are living, etcetera. They don’t want to make it feel like they’re pulling the rug from underneath their children. They’re making a mutual effort to ensure that this transition is as healthy and easy as possible.”

Another source shared that since getting his own place, Affleck has been feeling “hopeful.” Because of the new property’s proximity to his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Garner, he can co-parent far more readily.
“Ben really likes his new home and feels hopeful about the change,” the source shared. “It’s been a hard time for him, but he’s continuing to make his wellbeing and his family a priority.”
Another source agreed with this, they said, “Ben wanted to be closer to his kids with his new home and wanted a new, fresh, personal space where he can focus on work and be in his most creative zone without any outside distractions.”

As for Lopez, a source close to her noted that she is “also ready to move forward and is ready to close this chapter cordially.”
“The timing of the transition made her birthday a bit more difficult, but with the support of her friends and family, she’s doing her best day by day,” the source went on.
This was not the first time Lopez and Affleck were together. The couple were originally together from 2002 to 2004. They called off their first engagement in January 2004. However, they reunited and rekindled their relationship in 2021, tying the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022.
