Amidst persistent rumors of marital issues and separate living arrangements, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez show a little PDA while they continue to navigate the intense media scrutiny.

AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been the epitome of a rollercoaster romance, captivating fans worldwide since their initial rendezvous in 2002. Fast forward two decades, and the couple - affectionately dubbed "Bennifer" - is back in the spotlight, but not without some formidable challenges.
The pair was recently seen holding hands after attending Ben's daughter Violet's high school graduation celebration in Los Angeles. While the gesture itself displayed a semblance of unity, the situation appeared tense, if the pictures are any indication. They reportedly left in separate cars with J.Lo heading back to Beverly Hills and Affleck returning to Brentwood.
Both stars have been living apart for a while, adding fuel to the swirling rumors about the state of their marriage. Ben is residing in a rental pad whereas Jennifer continues to occupy their lavish $60 million Beverly Hills mansion.
The couple has yet to publicly comment on their marital status. However, recent actions, such as Ben appearing without his wedding ring and Jennifer house hunting solo, suggest that all may not be well in paradise. This is a stark contrast to their past year, which saw them exchanging vows in two separate ceremonies - including a formal wedding at Ben's Georgia estate.
Their love story is nothing short of cinematic. After meeting on the set of "Gigli" in 2002, they quickly became one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, getting engaged soon after. Their romance hit the brakes in 2004, only for them to reunite triumphantly in 2022, re-engaging and plunging back into matrimony with zeal. However, the glittering facade appears to be cracking under the weight of recent events.
While their public outings and sporadic displays of affection suggest they can tolerate each other's company, the long-term prognosis of their union remains uncertain. The next few weeks or months could provide pivotal clues about where Ben and Jen's relationship is headed. For now, the love story that captivated millions seems to be standing on shaky ground.
Stay tuned as we follow this unfolding drama, keeping a vigilant eye on Bennifer's journey through love, tension, and maybe, reconciliation.
