Ben Affleck Seen Leaving L.A. Home Amid Jennifer Lopez Split Rumors

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Ben Affleck has been spending time at a house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, seemingly away from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, amid rumors of a split.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Affleck was photographed leaving a Brentwood property on the morning of May 16 where sources say he has been staying overnight. The 51-year-old actor was seen leaving the house alone, and it was noted that he was not at his Beverly Hills home he shares with Lopez, 54, the previous night.

This sighting comes as an InTouch report earlier in the week claimed that Bennfier’s relationship might be over… again. The report also suggested that Affleck had moved out of their marital home in Beverly Hills. While it is unclear if he has permanently left the Beverly Hills residence, it is confirmed by TMZ that he has been spending time at the Brentwood house for the past week.

Interestingly, both Affleck and Lopez have been seen wearing their wedding rings recently. Affleck was photographed with his wedding ring visible as he left the Brentwood house, and Lopez has also been spotted wearing hers in the past few days as well.

The couple has been notably absent from each other’s side in public as of late, including at high-profile events like the Met Gala, which Lopez attended alone last week. According to a representative for Affleck who spoke to Entertainment Tonight, this was due to filming The Accountant 2. However, The Town actor was seen at Tom Brady’s roast in Los Angeles the night before the gala. Lopez has also been seen around Los Angeles without Affleck this week, further fueling separation rumors.

The last time Affleck and Lopez were photographed together was in March in New York City. Since then, they have not been seen publicly as a couple.
