According to a recent report, Ben Affleck has been seen removing his personal belongings from the luxurious Los Angeles estate that he shares with Jennifer Lopez.
The actor reportedly took this action while the singer was away in Europe.
During Lopez's trip to Italy, where she was photographed enjoying boat rides with friends in Positano, Affleck apparently took the opportunity to move his things out of their shared mansion.
Paparazzi even captured Lopez taking selfies on another vessel, seemingly alone, further suggesting a period of separation between the couple.
Sources close to the situation revealed that Affleck has been residing in a rental property in Brentwood for the past couple of months.
Despite this, he appears to be focused on his work, regularly seen at his office, and actively involved in spending time with his children.
However, representatives for Affleck have not responded to media requests for comment regarding the situation.
While Lopez still wears her engagement ring and wedding band, Affleck has been spotted without his symbolic jewelry several times recently.
The rumors about their relationship problems grew stronger when news broke that they are considering selling their recently bought $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills, which they purchased only last year.
Some people say they have been living separate lives, but they are not officially separated yet. Others claim their relationship is getting worse.
One person said Lopez can't handle it anymore and things are not getting better.
However, another source mentioned that Affleck is a dedicated father, even though he can sometimes be grumpy or negative.
After calling off their engagement in 2004, they rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022.
However, rumors of trouble in paradise have persisted, and it seems that both Affleck and Lopez are exploring their options individually.
While Affleck has been residing in a rental property, Lopez has reportedly been house hunting, actively searching for a place of her own.
In an interview with Kevin Hart on Hart to Heart, Affleck discussed why he often appears angry or annoyed in pictures.
He disclosed that a meme portraying him as "fed up with life" has circulated on the internet, contributing to the public's perception of him as constantly irritated.
Affleck attributed this to the increased frequency of being photographed since rekindling his relationship with Jennifer Lopez.
He recounted an experience in Times Square where he and Lopez decided to walk to a play they were attending.
Amidst the bustling streets, he was taken aback by the chaotic scene. He described encountering a lady in a purple suit who was smoking weed and filming, shouting "JLo!" like a herald.
The actor also mentioned his shyness and discomfort with excessive attention as contributing factors to his seemingly irked expression.
When cameras are thrust in his face, he admitted feeling uneasy, which may translate into an angry or annoyed appearance.
