Previously, Affleck’s absence from JLo’s birthday party had sparked rumors about her “problematic” marital status.
“Ben plans to make his birthday intimate and spend it with close friends and family,” a source was quoted as saying by OK! Magazine. She also added that Garner has been visiting Affleck “a few times a week” amid rumors of marital problems between him and Lopez. “The last thing in the world Jen wants to do is pick up the pieces of Ben and JLo’s broken relationship, but she has no other choice,” the source was quoted as saying.
“People close to Ben (Affleck) have been worried about him for some time. He is unwell and isolated,” the publication quoted the source as saying.
A Fox News report also said that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have “no plans to announce that they are no longer a couple.”
“They are not getting back together. They are not trying to work this out. They have no plans to announce at this point that they are no longer a couple. They have no plans to announce this at all in the near future,” the publication quoted the source as saying.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have known each other since 2002, when they first started dating. They got engaged the same year, but called off their wedding the same year. The couple crossed paths again in 2021, and they married in 2022.
Affleck, meanwhile, recently bought a $20 million bachelor pad in LA, but has not moved in yet.
Rumors that the two stars are getting a divorce are rife, but Jennifer Garner is reportedly doing everything she can to save her marriage, as she believes that only Lopez can help Affleck stay sober.
