It’s no news that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are experiencing some challenges in their marriage. Interestingly, amid these challenges, they remain committed to maintaining a positive public appearance.

Recently, at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation, the couple were seen holding hands. Similarly, the couple reunited at a YMCA in Santa Monica, where Affleck’s son Samuel had a basketball game. So, yes, this is evidence that they have shown a bit more affection in public, though subtly.

At Samule’s basketball game, Lopez and Affleck exchanged a quick air kiss on the cheek before heading inside. However, they chose not to hold hands as they entered the venue, though it’s shocking yet understandable.

Apart from maintaining a positive public appearance, Lopez and Affleck are focused on presenting a united front for their family. To show how much she prioritizes family, Lopez canceled her “This Is Me…Live” tour, which was meant to promote her album.

Although “This Is Me…Now” is a project inspired by her relationship with Affleck, she explained that her priority during this period is to spend more time with her children, family, and close friends.

Regarding the tour cancelation, Jennifer Lopez recently shared with fans on her OntheJLo website that she felt “heartsick and devastated” about it. She emphasized the necessity of this decision and promised to make it up to her fans, expressing her deep love for them.

Notably, Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has been strained by the demands of their careers and personal lives. According to a source, Lopez feels significant pressure from her numerous work commitments. On the contrary, Affleck, who is more laid-back and less concerned with Hollywood, views ups and downs as a natural part of life.

However, despite feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of co-parenting, his career, and trying to be a supportive partner, Affleck is reportedly committed to making their relationship work.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are focusing on their family as they work through issues in their relationship. As mentioned, the couple attended Affleck’s 12-year-old son Samuel’s graduation ceremony in Los Angeles. According to a source, they arrived and left the event separately, fueling ongoing divorce rumors.

Reports indicated that Lopez and Affleck maintained their distance and kept their families apart during the ceremony. Photos showed Lopez arriving with her twins, Emme and Max, while Affleck was accompanied by his mother, Chris Anne Boldt. Jennifer Garner was also present, bringing their two other children, Violet and Fin.

Despite their physical separation, both Lopez and Affleck were seen wearing their wedding rings. Lopez complemented hers with a cream-colored minidress featuring a scalloped hemline, while Affleck wore his band with a blue three-piece suit and carried an iced coffee. Can they just make up already?

Despite these appearances, multiple sources indicate that Lopez and Affleck are “living separate lives” while remaining married. An insider told Entertainment Tonight that the couple entered their relationship with high hopes and craving change. Sadly, those changes have not materialized.

Are you aware that the couple recently listed their expansive Beverly Hills property for $65 million on the market? This is why Lopez has been touring houses and searching for her own home. Despite the divorce rumors, the singer and her husband are still keeping it together.

Let’s just say they are doing their own thing. It’s usually sad when you have high hopes about something, and everything goes down the hill. Hopefully, they will reconcile and pick things up where they left off.
