Just a few weeks ago, I was much more hopeful about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. While I thought they were going through a bad patch, I took hope in the fact that J.Lo seemed to want to stay married to Ben, and that she seemed to believe that she could win him back somehow. But nowadays? it looks pretty bad. How did we go from ?J.Lo is trying to make Ben chase her? to ?they hate each other and they aren?t even speaking anymore?? That?s apparently the state of play, at least according to TMZ:
Things are not amicable between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck the lines of communication are closed and its making it difficult to hammer out a divorce agreement. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ? J Lo and Ben are not speaking to one another in person or over the phone and its really slowing down their divorce.
Ben and Jens icy relationship is really the only thing preventing this from being a quickie divorce were told they have a prenup and the only asset they have to divide is their Beverly Hills mansion, which is on the market.
Our sources say J Lo and Ben have NOT hired lawyers and are instead having everything go through their respective business managers, who are trying to figure out the financials behind the divorce but its complicated because the principals are not talking.
TMZ broke the stories the estranged couples Bev Hills estate is on the market for $68 million and Ben just closed on his own $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood, as Jen remains on the hunt for a house of her own. Ben closed escrow on the house the same day Jennifer turned 55 thats just a coincidence, but we do know there is no love lost between the two.
Ben and J Lo will eventually hire divorce lawyers, and were told no documents will be filed until they reach a settlement. They will file legal docs requesting a divorce, the judge will sign it and that will be that. But until Ben and Jen start talking again, things will continue moving at a snails pace.

My thing is that I simply don?t believe that any of this was about money, nor do I think the financial part of a seemingly inevitable divorce is the sticking point. The fact that their business managers are apparently doing the negotiating is WILD, but it also points to this whole thing being deeply unserious. Like? if you?re getting a divorce, grow up and hire a fking lawyer. You?re both in your 50s, stop playing telephone games and passing messages through Benny Medina and whoever. I sort of believe that they?re trying to be super-quiet about whatever negotiations are going on behind the scenes, but I also believe that both Ben and Jennifer are incredibly embarrassed. Like, this marriage blew up in both of their faces and they both look like idiots. That?s the biggest reason for the slow-moving divorce they?re both like ?wow, our images are going to take a huge hit when we file for divorce.?

For the past two months, the vibes have been horrendous when it comes to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Initially, it seemed like they were having issues and they just needed a break from each other, or maybe they just needed to reconnect and work on their marriage. Then Jennifer flew to the Hamptons and Ben stayed in LA. Rumors abound that their marriage ?has been over for months? and they have ?deeper issues? beyond Ben?s discomfort with J.Lo?s fame. Then on J.Lo?s birthday last week, Ben stayed away. Not only that, but he closed escrow on his new bachelor pad ON her birthday. As I?ve said throughout the week, I truly believe a divorce announcement will happen soon. The Daily Mail believes the same:
Jennifer Lopezs love may not cost a thing, but her divorce to Ben Affleck sure will. Friends have claimed to DailyMail.com the 51-year-old Last Duel actor and the superstar singer, 55, are once again pushing ahead with divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation in recent weeks failed.
The couples divorce documents are finalized, but not yet turned in, multiple sources have claimed.
The news follows Affleck buying a new $20.5 million bachelor pad mansion in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the day Lopez turned 55. Friends of Lopezs claimed Afflecks sudden bachelor pad purchase on her birthday had been a stab to the heart.
July 24 also marked the day Lopez also finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, People reported.
?They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them, one source close to the duo claimed. At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldnt. Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it, another source claimed.
[From The Daily Mail]
Oh god, what if Ben told Jennifer that she can announce their divorce in her On The JLo newsletter? What if she?s been putting it off because she still believes they can reconcile? I don?t know. I hate to say it, but I actually think the Mail is correct I think Ben and Jen have already worked out everything behind the scenes and they?re just waiting for the right moment to drop the news. I think their marriage really is over. It?s really sad. Jennifer must be devastated, honestly. I hate to do this, but I?m once again using the photos from the This Is Me? Now premiere in February, which is where many of us got our first inkling that Ben had checked out of this marriage big-time.

Jennifer Lopez decamped to her home in the Hamptons before Independence Day. She?s still there, getting pap?d and overtipping for ice cream (she left a $50 tip at a local ice cream parlor, and her PR team is working overtime). I told you what I think is happening she wants Ben Affleck to chase her, she wants him to figure out that they ?belong? together. Well, I don?t know if Ben has run to the Hamptons to see her, but Jennifer wants people to know that Violet Affleck and one of Violet?s friends are in the Hamptons with her right now.
Jennifer Lopez is spending quality time with Violet Affleck! On Saturday, July 13, the 54-year-old Atlas star shared a short video to her Instagram Stories, showing her taking a sunny summertime car ride with Ben Afflecks 18-year-old daughter in New York.
In the footage, Lopez is in the front seat of a car with an open sunroof ? wearing her wedding ring and sunglasses ? as Violet and her friend, actress Cassidey Fralin, look out the window. Lopez decorated the clip with a Summertime sticker and soundtracked it with The Kid LAROIs Girls.
The outing comes as Lopez and Affleck, 51, have reportedly experienced some tension in their marriage in recent months ? most recently spending Independence Day weekend apart, per sources.
A source told PEOPLE that Lopez and Violet were shopping at Roller Rabbit in East Hampton, N.Y., on Saturday and were ?surrounded by people? when they left but looked ?unfazed.? Another source told PEOPLE, ?[Lopez] seemed to be very happy shopping with Ben?s daughter. She had a big smile on her face.?
Lopez shared the family bonding moment to Instagram not long after WWD reported on Friday, July 12, that she and Violet were seen dress shopping at LoveShackFancy in Sag Harbor. The store did not immediately respond to PEOPLEs request to confirm Lopezs shopping trip on Saturday. Boutique Relax in Bridgehampton, which WWD reported the duo had shopped at as well, confirmed to PEOPLE that Lopez was in the store last week and is a repeat customer. According to WWD, a LoveShackFancy salesperson said that Lopez and Violet had an hour of privacy to shop at the store, which temporarily stopped admitting shoppers as they browsed.
An employee, who described Lopez to WWD as ?very kind and very friendly, also said that the multi-hyphenate was gifted the brands Norma dress.
[From People]
I still love the fact that J.Lo makes a big effort with her stepkids. I?ve always thought she probably adores having more kids around, especially Violet, who is old enough to enjoy going shopping with her stepmom and doing girly-girl things in the Hamptons. It would be really cool if this was some kind of special treat for Violet too like, she and a friend got invited to the Hamptons for a vacation, possibly before heading off to college.
Beyond that, there are stories about the fakakta mansion that Ben and J.Lo are selling the mansion is officially listed on the open market after they tried and failed to sell it off-market. According to Us Weekly, they?re ?in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there.? He was in the house for a matter of months! Were the vibes really that bad?? Is the mansion haunted??

On Monday, I wrote a sort of ?placeholder? story about Bennifer, as did People Magazine. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the Independence Day long-weekend on separate coasts, playing games with their wedding rings. Both got pap?d a lot. There are still no announcements of either divorce or reconciliation. People Mag?s big exclusive was ?Jennifer seems fine.? My gut tells me that Jennifer would never ?leave? Ben or be the one to say ?we are getting a divorce.? No matter what, Ben is still the love of her life. So it?s up to Ben to determine what?s next. That?s sort of what Page Six?s sources are saying too J.Lo is spending time at her home in the Hamptons and letting Ben figure out what he wants.
A reconciliation between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seems slimmer by the day amid ongoing divorce rumors, a source exclusively tells Page Six. An insider close to the couple tells us that, while the singer remains ?smitten? with her husband, she has embarked on a summer of ?health, happiness and joy? for herself and her family.
?Nothing can break her spirit,? the source adds. ?She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.?
Earlier this month, Page Six reported that their marriage has been ?over for months? and Lopez seemingly confirmed that as she posted a clip of her 2021 music video for ?Cambia el Paso? on Instagram Sunday. The empowering tune features the lyrics, translated from Spanish to English, ?Her life is better now without him ? She doesn?t need anyone to be well / She does not fail, she does not fail.? Lopez then asserts, ?He doesn?t deserve to have her in his arms.?
The update comes as Lopez, 54, continues to enjoy the summer without Affleck, 51, despite the two still wearing their wedding rings. Over the July 4th weekend, she was spotted looking happy and carefree while enjoying a bike ride with her longtime pal and vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, in the Hamptons, N.Y. She was also seen shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and out and about with her child Emme.
Nonetheless, multiple sources tell us that Lopez who has continuously called the Oscar winner the love of her life still feels the same way. We?re told by another source that, amid the rumored split, Lopez has been spending a lot of time with her twins, Emme and Max, 16.
?When they?re not at their summer activities she?s with them,? the source tells us.
[From Page Six]
My theory has morphed into: she?s trying to make him chase her. She?s showing him what he?s missing. She?s trying to do ?absence makes the heart grow fonder.? He needed space so she?s giving him tons of space and letting him figure it out. Figure out if he wants another marriage to crash and burn, figure out if he?s actually happier without her. We?ll see.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are probably close to being completely done. What a waste, all of it. Ben really wrote love letters to Jennifer when she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez, then she quickly extracted herself from that engagement and went all-in with Ben soon after. I think they were happy for a year or so, but reality came crashing down on them at some point in the past year. I hesitate to say it was ALL about J.Lo?s This Is Me? Now projects, but I?m sure the album, music film and documentary did not help at all. It wasn?t all about the Beverly Hills mansion either, but that didn?t help. Now Page Six is saying that Bennifer is definitely OVER.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have tried their best to put on a united front ? but the couple?s marriage has allegedly been over for months, we hear. According to sources, they?ve been apart since March, but Affleck is ?very protective of Jennifer.?
Rumors of the couple?s split hit a fever pitch in May after Affleck was noticeably absent from J.Lo?s side at major red carpet events ? like the Met Gala, which she co-chaired this year. He also didn?t accompany her to the premiere of her new Netflix project, ?Atlas.?
Lopez then added fuel to the rumor mill when she liked an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships. ?You can?t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves,? said the post.
[From Page Six]
The premiere for This Is Me? Now: A Love Story happened in February of this year. I said at the time that the vibe was off and that Ben seemed to be phoning it in/detatching. It would not surprise me at all if that was basically when the beginning of the end. Meanwhile, Ben and Jen are obviously unloading the Beverly Hills mansion, but Page Six also says that they?re unloading some artwork too. Yeah? that says divorce to me. Selling real estate AND artwork, while living separately and barely seeing each other? We?ll probably get a divorce announcement this week or next.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez out and about in LA on Saturday. She was with her kids, I can see Emme in the background of some of the photos. J.Lo?s ensemble here is sort of interesting she?s wearing head-to-toe Dior, except for a rare Hermes Birkin bag. I love the crisp white cotton Dior shirt and I even like the Dior D-Joy ballet flats. The Dior trousers are kind of awful though, not that flattering on Jennifer. I don?t imagine that style would be flattering on any body type though. Her Birkin is crocodile skin, in black. Last week, Jennifer seemingly made a last-minute decision to attend the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week. I wonder if she returned home with a suitcase full of Dior for her trouble.
As we discussed on Sunday, when J.Lo was in Italy and France, Ben moved his sh-t out of their Beverly Hills home. This home seems to be one big contention in their marriage they spent months and months looking at homes all over LA, and when they finally settled on this gigantic mansion, they also spent millions renovating it. Ben quietly moved out of the mansion two months ago and he?s now staying at a Brentwood rental. I think J.Lo is possibly still living in the Beverly Hills place, even though they?ve put it on the market already. If J.Lo is concerned about Ben moving his sh-t out while she was on vacation, she?s not letting it show. She wore her wedding ring for this Saturday outing.
All that being said, I really do wonder if we?re going to get a big announcement soon. The paparazzi are obviously trailing Ben and Jen a lot these days, and it?s become clear that they?ve probably only seen each other once in like three or four weeks? And that one meeting was literally at their office. I hate this! I?m still rooting for them, but damn, it really does not look good.

You guys sort of convinced me that Jennifer Lopez?s trip to Europe is the precursor to a divorce announcement. I hate that I believe it. Last week, Jennifer was on vacation in Italy without her husband Ben Affleck. This week, she?s attending shows at Paris Fashion Week. Yesterday, she attended the Dior show and then she was seen later on Monday, leaving her hotel and (according to Backgrid) heading for the airport. I love her travel outfit wide-leg grey-silver trousers and an oversized white button-down? I would look horrible in it but she looks so chic and cool. I like her Dior outfit too.
Jennifer?s Italian vacation photos were very exclusive, meaning only the biggest sites and publications could afford to buy them. But these Paris pics? They?ll run everywhere. Jennifer looking happy and glowing, wearing cute outfits and perhaps slowly introducing a new single era? Is that the purpose of the Paris trip? Perhaps.
Meanwhile, Ben was back at home in LA and he got into it with some paparazzi outside of Jennifer?s house on Sunday night. This is the home they are currently selling, and clearly, J.Lo wasn?t home. The paps were using their flashes and they temporarily blinded him as he was behind the wheel. That?s when Ben got out of his car and bitched out one of the paps. This feels so vintage, so ?original Bennifer.?
#BenAffleck went OFF on the paparazzi this weekend after they dangerously flashed the crap out of him with their cameras as he was leaving his and #JLo's house. https://t.co/AeYg1uowBk (: BACKGRID) pic.twitter.com/HKnk2BX3db

Three weeks ago, Jennifer Lopez suddenly canceled her planned summer tour. The tour was supposed to be in support of her album This Is Me? Now. The album flopped and the musical and documentary she made about the album were pretty bad too. So bad that J.Lo?s flop era basically hurt her marriage to Ben Affleck, and now they?re sort of separated but working on it. Back when she initially canceled her tour, I said that I hoped Jennifer would spend the summer with Ben and their family, reconnecting and working on their marriage. Well, that?s sort of what she?s planning but they?re not making any mention of Ben??
Jennifer Lopez is planning her summer vacation! The Atlas star, 54, has been making plans to travel, a source tells PEOPLE. Lopez is taking time this summer to be with her children, family and close friends, Live Nation announced on May 31 when she canceled her planned concert tour amid what sources have called strain in her marriage to Ben Affleck.
Lopez has previously taken some epic summer vacations, both with friends and with Affleck. In years past, the couple enjoyed trips to France and Italy over the summer, including during their 2022 honeymoon in Milan and Lake Como and a birthday trip to the celeb-favorite island of Capri.
Lopez has said shes not a big vacation person in general, but has spoken about her love for Italy. When I finally went to spend a couple of summers in a row in the south of Italy, I really, really loved it, she shared in a 2023 interview with Travel + Leisure.
[From People]
Not a big vacation person? Girl, stop lying. She loves a vacation. She works hard and plays hard. She rents yachts and has a place in the Hamptons, right? Anyway, I hope she and Ben are planning a Leo Szn birthday trip and I hope it saves their marriage. Come on? a yacht in the Mediterranean? Butt-rubbing like the good old ?Jenny From the Block? days? Or even a quiet summer in the Hamptons? Or maybe: Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza/Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa?
PS Whoops, J.Lo is already on vacation in Italy. Ben is not with her. Yikes.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez at Giorgio Baldi on Sunday night. I?ve seen some outlets claim that she was ?dining alone,? but she was clearly out with a couple of girlfriends and one of those ladies drove J.Lo away from the restaurant. Giorgio Baldi is one of the most popular restaurants in LA and it?s become something of a celebrity hot-spot. During Rihanna?s pregnancies, she was there practically every week, sometimes multiple times a week. My point is that J.Lo knew she would be photographed and she either wanted to be seen or she didn?t care that she was seen. Considering the weekend was full of ?imminent divorce? rumors, it feels like Jennifer wanted to be seen out and about. Is the message ?I?m not hiding away??
Notably, Jennifer is still wearing her wedding band and her green-diamond engagement ring. She?s been wearing her wedding ring this whole time, I think? Meanwhile, Ben has been seen recently without his ring at times, and wearing his ring at other times. You guys know I don?t put a lot of stock in Ring Watch, but I do think Jen is sending a message by getting pap?d this weekend with her rings. ET also confirmed that Jen and Ben are ?quietly? trying to offload their $60.8 million Beverly Hills mansion, which seems to be the root of the divorce rumors in recent days. Maybe it?s just? selling a house which doesn?t work for them, but Ben and Jennifer are still working on their marriage?
And finally, Meghan McCain recently said that when J.Lo appeared on The View, Jen was ?deeply unpleasant? and ?not a nice person.? Again, that?s coming from Meghan McCain, who is one of the biggest aholes in the country.

Last Friday, Jennifer Lopez announced the cancelation of her This Is Me? Live Tour, which was supposed to start this summer. Jennifer has been in the dance studio for months, working out the show, so it came as a surprise in a narrow way Jennifer is a workaholic and it felt like she would just barrel through with the tour, even as her life was falling apart. Now, that being said, I?m sure she was hurt by the poor ticket sales and the general ambivalence towards the album and the tour too. It was going to be a flop tour to support a flop album and the optics would have been awful. Jennifer spent the weekend being seen out and about in LA, going to the farmer?s market with Emme and going to her stepson?s basketball game. According to People Mag, J.Lo?s life is ?a lot right now.?
Jennifer Lopez is taking time to recalibrate her life after canceling her upcoming tour. A source close to the singer-actress tells PEOPLE that Lopez is devastated to call off her summer concert tour but understands the extra time to dedicate to herself and her loved ones is key.
Life is a lot right now. As sad as she was to cancel the tour, she?s also relieved. She needs to take care of herself, says the source.
The decision was something that her team encouraged, the source adds. Everyone is supportive of her focusing on family right now.
Lopezs This Is Me Live tour, in support of her latest album but also rebranded to be a greatest hits concert, was set to kick off June 26 in Orlando, Florida, and travel for shows in Austin, Dallas, Las Vegas, Miami, Toronto, New York City, Boston and more. It would have been her first tour since 2019s Its My Party Tour.
The news comes as sources told PEOPLE that Lopezs marriage with husband Ben Affleck is not in the best place at the moment. The two, who famously rekindled their decades-old romance before marrying in 2022, have been living under different roofs while both in Los Angeles.
[From People]
It feels like no one is capable of giving both Jennifer and Ben the benefit of the doubt here. I think it?s more than possible that Ben gave her an ultimatum: it?s our marriage or this dumb tour. As in, you need to stick around this summer and we need to spend time as a family, or else it?s over. Now, was Ben also following the fact that the concert tickets weren?t selling and the whole thing was going to be a disaster? For sure. Anyway, I genuinely hope that Jennifer spends the summer? chilling out with her kids and stepkids and working on her marriage.
