It’s a bittersweet anniversary for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Although they rekindled their romance with a lavish Vegas wedding two years ago today, rumors of marital problems have overshadowed the celebrations. Jen and Ben got married on July 16. However, unlike last year, when they celebrated with a family luncheon, celebrated their first year together and dedicated romantic songs to each other, this year has been a lot quieter. An insider revealed that the couple has been spending time apart and focusing on their loved ones.
Jen and Ben celebrate their second wedding anniversary
“Both Jen and Ben are dealing with these changes while keeping their kids and their respective families in mind,” a source told ET. The Gigli co-stars recently put their $60 million love nest back on the market because while they’re living separately, they’ve officially completed their second year of marriage.
Although the singer and actor have not been photographed together in over a month, their wedding rings indicate that they are still together. However, their distance has fueled separation rumors. The insider added, “Jen and Ben are trying to focus on their loved ones while spending time apart.”

Earlier reports suggested that Ben is overprotective of his wife, although he lives far away from her in a rented house in Brentwood and remains very close to his children. In the meantime, the couple have tried to appear united, although Page Six suggests that their marriage has been over for some time. However, the pop star has reportedly received advice from her family to prioritise her life and children and leave Ben behind.
Despite this, she was spotted in the Hamptons with her stepdaughter Violet, where they were shopping and eating at restaurants just one day before their wedding anniversary. Several sources indicated that their children are hoping for a reconciliation.
They haven’t officially split up
“Jen and Ben are living separate lives but haven’t officially split yet,” another source told ET. “Right now, they’re just doing their thing. They were very optimistic about their relationship and thought things could change, but they didn’t.”

At the moment, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s second wedding anniversary is shrouded in uncertainty. While fans are desperate for a reconciliation, any public gesture, even a social media post, would be a ray of hope. Despite all the rumors floating around, their wedding rituals are still on, leaving everyone questioning – are they really committed, or just trying to look good? One thing is for sure: their fans and close friends are hoping for a comeback, and even the smallest move from Bennifer’s side could heat up their relationship again.
