Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Reportedly Taking Time Before Officially Announcing Split
Amid persistent rumors of divorce, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are delaying an official announcement to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition for everyone involved. Sources close to the couple reveal that they prioritize their children’s well-being and handle the separation with care.
Taking a Careful Approach to Separation
Insiders say the couple is “waiting to announce their official split because they want to make sure everything is seamless when they do, especially with everyone involved. Neither of them wants this process to be rushed. They are treating the separation with as much grace, understanding, and gentleness as they can.”
Recent developments indicate the couple has already begun living separately. Affleck moved out of their shared Los Angeles home into a new estate. Both focus on ensuring their five children are comfortable during this transition.
Prioritizing Family During the Transition
The couple commits to their children’s well-being during this difficult time. “They want to make sure the kids feel comfortable with the transition and where they are living,” a source explained. “They don’t want to make it feel like they’re pulling the rug from underneath their children. They’re making a mutual effort to ensure that this transition is as healthy and easy as possible.”
Affleck, who recently relocated to a new home closer to his ex, Jennifer Garner, feels hopeful about the change. The move is intended to aid in co-parenting their three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Ben Affleck’s Fresh Start
Affleck looks forward to this new chapter in his life. A source shared, “Ben really likes his new home and feels hopeful about the change. It’s been a hard time for him, but he continues to make his well-being and his family a priority.” The new residence, closer to Garner, gives Affleck a fresh space where he can focus on his work and creativity without distractions.
Jennifer Lopez Moving Forward
Lopez also appears ready to move forward. The timing of the transition made her birthday more difficult, but with the support of her friends and family, she works on getting through each day, the source added.
Lopez and Affleck initially dated from 2002 to 2004 before rekindling their romance in 2021. The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022. Recent events, however, suggest they may prepare to part ways once again.
