Affleck was seen leaving a house without his wife on Thursday morning. He was still wearing his wedding ring at the time. However, TMZ claimed that he had not been seen in his shared home with Lopez and had been occupying a house in the Brentwood neighborhood over the past week or so.
Another source spoke with Us Weekly and claimed that he had moved out from his and Lopez's marital home. According to the insider, the "Justice League" actor left "several weeks ago."
A second tipster told the outlet that the A-list Hollywood couple had not called it quits yet but were living separately while navigating their marital struggles.
"Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage," the source said. "They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour."
Another insider who spoke to In Touch said they were "headed for divorce" and Affleck was "not to blame." The tipster also claimed that among their problems was the difference in how they handle the spotlight. Lopez reportedly loves the media attention, but Affleck doesn't feel the same way.
Affleck also made it known that he prefers to keep their marriage private. He was even "taken aback" when Lopez shared his love letters in her documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told."
"Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media," Affleck said in the same documentary.
Lopez acknowledged that her husband wasn't comfortable being her muse. However, she added that he remained supportive because "he loves me, he knows I'm an artist."
