Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck recently made a public appearance together, dispelling rumors that their relationship is on the rocks. The couple was seen on Sunday in Santa Monica, smiling for cameras while attending a school event for Lopez’s daughter, Emme. Also in attendance was Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, along with their child, Fin.
Following the event, Lopez and Affleck headed to BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood for dinner. This restaurant is known for being a popular spot where paparazzi often gather to catch photos of celebrities.
Despite these public appearances, rumors have persisted about the couple’s living situation. Reports indicate that Affleck moved out of the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they bought together and is currently residing in a rental in Brentwood. He was spotted without his wedding ring on Friday, though he was wearing it the next day outside his home.
There have been suggestions from Lopez about relocating to New York to possibly alleviate some of their marital issues. A source told the Daily News that Lopez proposed the idea of moving to New York to see if a change of scenery might help. However, logistical issues arise as Affleck’s children are still in school, and Lopez’s twins have one more year of high school left.
Speculation about trouble in their relationship began when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala alone. Sunday was only the second time in the past week that Lopez and Affleck were seen together, marking their first public sightings in over a month prior to that.
