Did
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Break Up?
In May 2024,
the internet erupted over Jennifer and Ben’s marriage because they weren’t seen
in public together for nearly 50 days. Not only that, but social media users
also noticed that the “On the Floor” hitmaker “liked” an Instagram post that
described relationship issues.
The original
post mentioned a person who “cannot build a healthy relationship with someone
who lacks integrity & emotional safety … lacks effective communication
skills,” and “doesn’t know who they are or what they want.”
The post’s
user @yourcourageouscomeback claimed that Jennifer “liked” the post, according
to several outlets.
“Just logged
onto IG and noticed @jlo liked my post,” the user wrote alongside a screenshot
of Jennifer’s official Instagram account’s “like” of the post. “Jlo or her PR
team, I’ll take it.”
Nevertheless,
the rumors were put to rest after PEOPLE reported on May 17
that Jennifer and Ben were, in fact, spotted out together. The spouses were
both reportedly wearing their wedding rings.
Multiple
outlets, however, reported that the couple had been living separately for
weeks. The pair even listed their Beverly Hills mansion up for sale over the
summer.

birthday.

after filing for divorce, Jennifer was spotted meeting Ben at the Beverly Hills
Hotel. As seen in viral pictures that surfaced online, the exes appeared to

this, J. Lo seemingly addressed her split from Ben to Interview magazine, their
article published on October 9, 2024, “Now I’m excited, when you say you’re
just going to be on your own. Yes, I’m not looking for anybody, because
everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different
challenging situations, what can I f***ing do when it’s just me flying on my
own … what if I’m just free?”
