Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may be headed for divorce, according to rumours.

The power couple, who have been married since 2022, haven’t been seen together since March, and sources have anonymously reported that they’re headed for a breakup.

J. Lo, 54, was one of the co-chairs of the recent Met Gala but appeared at the event noticeably without Affleck, 51, raising eyebrows about their relationship status.

More recently, Affleck appeared at the Roast of Tom Brady without Lopez.

The iconic couple, often referred to as Bennifer, first dated in the early 2000s, getting engaged in 2002 before calling it quits in 2004.

They were first spotted together again in 2021, soon confirming the rumours that they were giving their partnership another chance after years apart.

But it seems their movie-worthy romance may finally have come to an end.

An insider told In Touch: ‘The writing is on the wall – it’s over. They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!’

‘He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,’ the insider added. The source went on to say that Affleck has moved out of the couple’s shared home.

The rumour lines up with reports that J. Lo was recently spotted house hunting, despite having just bought the couple’s $60.85million (£48.1m), 46,000-square foot home with Affleck a year ago.

‘They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted,’ the source said of the supposed split.

They continued: ‘They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work. They both said they’d matured and learned from their mistakes, but some of the bigger issues that tore them apart the first time remained the same.’

In Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, there was some indication that the constant publicity surrounding the couple had taken its toll.

Affleck said in the documentary: ‘Getting back together, I said, “Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.” Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain and you go, “Well, I don’t want the water.” We’re trying to learn to compromise.’
