Jennifer Lopez focuses on work amid divorce rumours with Ben Affleck
According to a film industry insider, Affleck has never felt completely comfortable presenting his connection with Lopez to the world through her artistic work
WASHINGTON: Jennifer Lopez is keeping herself occupied with work as rumors continue to surround her and Ben Affleck's relationship, reported People. "They're still living separately," shared a source close to Lopez. "She's back in LA for tour rehearsals. She seems okay. She's very focused on work."
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, have been living under different roofs in Los Angeles. Lopez's latest film 'Atlas' launched as the No. 1 movie on Netflix in 55 countries during Memorial Day weekend, according to the streaming site, with 28.2 million views. In addition to the new film, Lopez is planning a North American summer tour, which will begin on June 26 in Orlando. On May 23, Affleck was spotted with a group at the Los Angeles restaurant Giorgio Baldi, while Lopez was in Mexico City for the red carpet premiere of her new Netflix film 'Atlas'.
The actor is shooting for 'The Accountant 2' on the west coast in recent weeks while Lopez promoted her film solo. In the recent documentary 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told', Affleck said that he and Lopez are "two people with different kinds of approaches trying to learn to compromise." According to a film industry insider, Affleck has never felt completely comfortable presenting his connection with Lopez to the world through her artistic work. Nonetheless, he has never wanted to stifle her creativity.
"He's always been impressed about how she works so hard and has achieved so much success," said the film source. "But the openness and promotion is not his way," as quoted by People. Lopez and Affleck famously rekindled their relationship from the early 2000s in 2021 and married in 2022. While they do not share any children together, the pair have a blended family that includes Max and Emme, the 16-year-old twins Lopez shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, the kids Affleck shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, reported People.
