Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently stepped away from their busy schedule to attend an important family event. The couple, who co-parent five children, were present at their son Samuel’s graduation ceremony. Despite being there to celebrate their son’s achievement, their interaction during the event raised questions as they decided to maintain distance despite being so close to each other. This comes after reports that their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion is back on the market, leading to speculation that ‘Bennifer’ might be living separate lives.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spotted at son’s graduation ceremony

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck keep their distance
The 54-year-old singer and the 51-year-old actor both wore their wedding rings but refrained from being photographed together. This behavior was unusual as the couple, who rekindled their decade-old romance and married, are usually often seen displaying affection in public. However, in the past two months, their distance has become clearly visible. They have almost stopped appearing on the red carpet together and now arrive separately on most occasions. Earlier, TMZ reported that Affleck had moved into a rental property in Brentwood while Lopez was living alone in their shared mansion.
Garner also attended the event. After the ceremony in Los Angeles, the family had lunch together at Baltaire restaurant in Brentwood. The meeting came amid ongoing speculation about Lopez and Affleck’s relationship, which was fueled by the recent listing of their $60 million Southern California home just 13 months after its purchase. ET reports that Lopez is looking for a new home of her own.
Amid reports of their separation and the two living separately until everything is settled, Jennifer is leaning on her mother, sisters, and kids during this transition period, according to a source who spoke to ET. “Jen has been touring homes and shopping for a home of her own. She is leaning on her mother, sisters, and kids during this transition period.”

Meanwhile, “Ben is sad about all of this, but he’s focused on his work, being a good father and doing great co-parenting with Jennifer Garner,” the source added.
