While Affleck was hesitant about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, he was starting to “invest more,” a source said.
Ben Affleck, rumored to be on the verge of a split from Jennifer Lopez, may have had a recent change of heart, has learned.
The Hollywood power couple’s nearly two-year union became rocked by speculation about a possible looming divorce as Affleck reportedly moved out of their shared home and was spotted without his wedding ring several times this month.
The Gone Girl actor, 51, seemed ready to end the relationship, but a source spilled to Us Magazine that while he was initially hesitant, he was starting to “invest more.”
“[Ben has] struggled with loneliness” since moving out of their home “and realized how much he misses Jen,” the source added.
For now, they’re at an impasse. While they were apart, “Ben and Jen kept in touch primarily to discuss essential matters and updates,” a second source dished.
Friends are reportedly torn about where J Lo, 54, and Affleck should go from here.
“Some believe they can work it out with time and effort, pointing to their deep bond,” the insider revealed. “Others think the relationship has run its course.”
For now, Lopez and Affleck are “both reassessing their priorities,” added the source, “and [figuring out] what they truly want from the marriage.”
