Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Headed for Divorce After Less Than Two Years of Marriage

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are splitting up after less than two years of marriage, as “they just couldn’t make it work,” a source told In Touch. “The writing is on the wall – it’s over,” the insider shared, noting that this time, Ben isn’t to blame.

The Argo star has already moved out of their $60 million home. Jennifer, 54, was seen house hunting in Beverly Hills on May 14, while Ben, 51, was absent. “He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” the insider added. “They’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. 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.”

Fans noticed the couple spending less time together, a stark contrast to their earlier frequent public appearances. Ben’s absence from the Met Gala on May 6, where Jennifer was a co-chair, raised eyebrows. She attended solo, which surprised many, as Ben cited work on The Accountant 2 as his reason for not attending.

Tensions reportedly arose after Jennifer released her Amazon Prime Video documentary, *The Greatest Love Story Never Told*, in February. In the documentary, Ben confessed his discomfort with their relationship being so public but acknowledged it was unfair to ask Jennifer to change. The source explained that while Ben never stifled Jennifer’s dreams, her controlling nature was a point of contention.

The couple’s romance has been under intense scrutiny since their early days, which Ben blamed for their initial breakup in 2004. They rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a formal wedding at Ben’s Georgia estate in August 2022.
