Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is one of the most talked-about celebrity stories of the summer. The couple, who are set to celebrate their second wedding anniversary in July, are said to be on the rocks. Things are looking good for the duo known as “Bennifer.” However, all hope hasn’t been lost. Despite all of the divorce hints and headlines, the pair have been spotted spending time together as of late. JLo even penned a sweet tribute to her husband via social media. However, not all fans are buying it.
On Sunday, Jennifer Lopez took to her Instagram account to share an update regarding her husband Ben Affleck. The singer posted an old photo of the actor from his younger years in Hollywood to her story. She captioned the black and white snapshot, “Our hero. Happy Father’s Day,” per TMZ. She followed that post up with one paying tribute to her own father. However, she didn’t share any Father’s Day wishes for her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, who is the father of her twins Max and Emme.

Meanwhile, JLo was recently spotted spending time at Affleck’s Brentwood rental house, where he’s been living since moving out of their shared home earlier this year, per The Daily Mail. Of course, fans have plenty to say about the situation between the couple as speculation about their possible divorce continues to circulate.
“JLo comes across as very high maintenance and not exactly a person who gives anything of herself unless it’s beneficial to herself. He seems to want privacy, while she needs to constantly be the center of attention,” one person said of the situation. “Jennifer is an Attention Horse. She wants to show off her accomplishments and be the Queen Bee in a room. Ben might like to be less public,” a second person commented. “Media coverage is good for business,” a third critic wrote.
All the while, Ben Affleck is allegedly telling those close to him that he wants to start the next chapter of his life. This time, he reportedly wants to break away from the drama and publicity of his marriage with Jennifer Lopez. Instead, he’s looking for “a life with serenity and peace.” OK! Magazine reports that “Bennifer” is likely to divorce. However, they’re trying to get everything in order before making an announcement.
It’s unclear what the future has in store for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. However, things do appear to be messy around the couple at the moment. Whether they call it quits or work through their issues, it seems that they have a long road ahead of them.
