In a surprising turn of events amid swirling divorce rumors, Hollywood power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were seen reuniting at their Beverly Hills marital home over the weekend. The reunion, reported by Page Six, saw Affleck spending four hours at the residence before leaving around 9 p.m. local time on Sunday.
Affleck, the Oscar-winning actor, was photographed driving away from the estate, sparking renewed interest in the status of their relationship. Details about their discussion remain undisclosed, but the timing of this meeting comes as speculation about their potential split continues to mount.
TMZ recently reported that Affleck and Lopez are considering selling their marital home, with their realtor actively showing the mansion to prospective buyers for the past two weeks. According to sources, Lopez is searching for a new home, adding fuel to the ongoing rumors of marital discord.
The couple is reportedly looking to sell the sprawling 43,000-square-foot estate for around $65 million, a figure that includes taxes, their broker's commission, and the cost of the renovations they made to personalize the property. This sale price indicates that Affleck and Lopez are willing to take a loss on the home, which they purchased for $60.85 million in cash last May.
Their luxurious mansion boasts 17 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, and parking for 80 vehicles, along with an array of amenities such as an indoor sports complex, a sports bar, outdoor lounging areas, and a zero-edge pool. The sports complex includes facilities for basketball, pickleball, a gym, and a boxing ring, making it a dream home for any fitness enthusiast.
Despite their attempts to keep a low profile, rumors of a marital crisis have persisted, especially after Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring and was absent from Lopez's recent promotions for her movie "Atlas." In mid-May, reports emerged that Affleck had moved into a rental home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, further fueling speculation about the state of their marriage.
The couple has made a few public appearances together since these rumors began, primarily for events involving their children. They were recently seen attending the high school graduation of Affleck's daughter Violet and the basketball game of his son Samuel. These outings suggest that, despite their personal issues, they remain committed to their family responsibilities.
An unnamed source told People that both Affleck and Lopez are focused on putting their children first, regardless of their marital challenges. "They want to make sure the kids are their top priority," the source said. However, the situation has reportedly been "heartbreaking" for Lopez, who also canceled her "This Is Me ... Live" tour recently.
Neither Affleck nor Lopez has publicly commented on the rumors of their split. However, an insider told Us Weekly that the couple is open to working on their marriage. "They both know that they need to put in the effort and are willing to do so," the insider revealed.
Affleck and Lopez, who first got together in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance in 2021, tied the knot in a private ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022. Their whirlwind romance has been the subject of intense media scrutiny, and their current challenges are no exception.
As the public continues to watch their every move, it remains to be seen how Affleck and Lopez will navigate this tumultuous period in their relationship. For now, their focus appears to be on maintaining stability for their children while they work through their issues privately.
