Ben Affleck and JLo have been practically ‘separated’ for a while: Report

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been leading completely separate lives for a while now, according to a new report by Entertainment Tonight.

An insider revealed to the outlet that while the couple hasn’t made their separation official, they are essentially living apart.

“Jen and Ben have been living separate lives but have not officially separated yet. At this point, they are just doing their own thing,” the insider shared, adding that “They went into their relationship very optimistic and thought things could change, but they haven’t.”

The insider further shared that now, with multiple reports via Page Six that the pair have listed their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, Lopez has also been “touring houses and shopping around for her own home.”

Meanwhile Affleck reportedly started staying in a Brentwood home around mid-May.

The insider spilled that during this difficult “transitional period,” Lopez has been “leaning on her mom, sisters, and kids,” whereas Affleck “always” has long-time friend Matt Damon in his corner.

Last month, when the divorce rumours first started swirling, another source told the outlet that the pair were “continuing to take space from each other.”
