AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez, 55, was spotted at Ben Affleck's rental home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Sunday, August 11. This sighting came over two months after they were last photographed together during their daughter Violet's high school graduation. The visit has raised eyebrows, especially as rumors about their divorce continue to circulate.
Earlier in the day, Lopez was photographed at Affleck's ex-wife Jennifer Garner's house, where she dropped off her daughter, Emme, and picked up Affleck's son, Samuel. The "On the Floor" singer's initial stop at Garner's residence occurred around noon. Emme, 15, is believed to be friends with Garner and Affleck's middle child, Seraphina, who is also 15.
Lopez and Samuel then went on a shopping spree. They spent an hour at Neiman Marcus and later visited the Century City mall for about three hours. When asked by paparazzi if she was shopping for Affleck's upcoming 52nd birthday on August 15, Lopez simply laughed.
After dropping Samuel back at Garner's, Lopez picked up Emme and headed to Affleck's rental home, arriving around 5 P.M. She was expected to leave at 8 P.M. but did not emerge until roughly 9:45 P.M. This added further intrigue as Lopez and Affleck are widely believed to be heading for a divorce.
Sources claim their business managers have been handling the divorce logistics, and the couple has spent considerable time apart over the past few months, including during their second wedding anniversary and Lopez's 55th birthday.
Lopez and Affleck first started dating in 2002 and got engaged shortly after. They split in 2004 but reunited in 2021, marrying in July 2022. In 2023, the couple purchased a $60.8 million mansion in Beverly Hills, which they put on the market in July 2024. Adding more to the speculation, Affleck bought a $20.5 million bachelor pad, having reportedly not moved in yet, while Lopez is said to be looking for a place of her own.
The couple's nighttime reunion coincides with the upcoming premiere of "Unstoppable," a movie produced by Affleck and starring Lopez. Scheduled for its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, the film delves into the real-life story of wrestler Anthony Robles.
As the drama unfolds, both are focusing on their individual lives and careers. An insider revealed that Affleck is "doing well" despite the challenges, and he "is just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible."
