Jennifer Lopez, the multi-talented star, turned heads at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest Netflix film "Atlas" on May 20. Dressed in an eye-catching ivory tube top and black mermaid skirt, Lopez flaunted her wedding ring, sparking further debate amid persistent rumours of a troubled marriage with Ben Affleck. The couple, who tied the knot in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022 followed by a more lavish celebration in Georgia, has been the subject of intense media scrutiny.
Just a day prior, Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, were seen together in L.A., adding fuel to the fire with their contrasting behaviours. Affleck showcased his wedding band, while Lopez, seemingly more reserved, kept her hands in her pockets. The duo's outing, which included a family event and a dinner at BOA Steakhouse, was closely watched, especially after Affleck's conspicuous absence from the 2024 Met Gala, where Lopez was a co-chair.
The couple's history is rocky, to say the least. They first broke up in 2003, and it was a "heartbreak of my life" for JLo. Fast forward two decades, and they rekindled their romance, but it seems like they're headed for another rough patch.
Rumors of a split intensified when Lopez "liked" an Instagram post hinting at relationship woes, suggesting a partner disconnected from themselves. This social media activity came amid reports that the pair were living separately as of May 17. Despite these speculations, the couple's history of highs and lows adds another layer of intrigue. Their initial engagement ended abruptly in 2003, a heartbreak Lopez has described as nearly unbearable. Yet, two decades later, their reunion seemed like fate.
Lopez reflected on their reunion, expressing that both needed to grow individually before finding their way back to each other. She described their rekindled romance as a "crack in the clouds" bringing sunlight back into their lives.
With the couple's every move under the microscope, fans and critics alike are left wondering: Is this the end of Bennifer, or just another storm in their tumultuous love story?
