Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunited publicly for the first time in seven weeks amid reports they are experiencing a rough patch in their marriage

On Thursday night, the couple, who wed in July 2022 having rekindled their romance in 2021 - almost two decades after calling off their first engagement - put on a united front while attending a school production for Ben's 15-year-old child Fin Affleck, who uses the pronoun 'they.'

An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that 'Ben did not look happy to see JLo as she arrived at a show for one of his kids.' 

'When he saw her get out of her car, they did not hug or kiss,' the observer noted of the actor, 51, and his wife, 54, who arrived separately and met up in a parking lot.  

Despite not engaging in any public displays of affection, Jennifer brought Ben's child a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to celebrate their performance.

The two-time Oscar winner also brought flowers. 

An insider told Perez Hilton that 'nothing would have stopped them coming together for the kids' and that 'the marriage drama comes second.' 

'They are putting on a united front. Jen showed up with Emme to support Fin. Emme’s super attached to Fin, so it’s only natural that Jen, no matter what she’s going through with Ben, was there,' the source said. 

The insider noted that Lopez's 16-year-old, Emme, 'was super excited' and 'jumping for joy over Fin’s performance.' 

There seemed to be no tension between Lopez and Affleck's son Samuel, 12, as she walked with her arms around his shoulders, at one point.   

For the occasion, the Marry Me actress rocked a beige button-down, tucked into a pair of light-wash flared jeans, and a pair of stilettos. 

She opted to wear her straight light brown locks in a flirty ponytail amid rumors that her spouse has been staying at a home in Brentwood without her.

Affleck wore a dark blue flannel, grey graphic t-shirt, jeans and a pair of Nike sneakers.

While Samuel was present for the majority of the pair's time together, Affleck and Lopez spoke privately by his car for a few minutes in the parking lot. 

As they spoke, she smiled and looked into his eyes, before his son joined them, and she put on her aviator sunglasses. 

The trio ultimately walked over to the school together as a family. 

A source for People said the couple arrived separately to support their children, and the stars were both wearing their wedding rings.

They left together, according to the insider.

Later, Lopez, who recently 'liked' an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships, met back up with Affleck at the car with her 16-year-old, Emme Maribel Muñiz.

Affleck is said to have driven his wife and Emme back to their home, but 'returned alone to his rental.'

This comes amid a TMZ report on Thursday which claims that Affleck and Lopez have been living apart. 

Another source told People that Ben hasn't been staying at their home and instead staying another one of their homes in LA so he can film The Accountant 2. 

Jennifer has recently been in New York a lot - to film her movie Kiss of the Spider Woman, her promotional tour for her movie Atlas and also for the Met Gala, which she went solo.

Ben attended the Roast of Tom Brady earlier this month during a break from filming. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for both Affleck and Lopez for comment.

On Thursday morning, Ben was seen driving near the home he is reportedly staying in once again without J-Lo. 

Prior to their latest sighting, the celebrity couple known as 'Bennifer,' were last seen together seven weeks ago, at the end of March, while grabbing lunch in New York City.

On Wednesday, it was reported that the pair 'just couldn’t make it work' and are headed for a split after less than two years of marriage. A source who spoke with In Touch claimed Affleck has already moved out of their marital home.

'The writing is on the wall – it's over,' the insider stated, adding, 'They're headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben's] not to blame!'

The source alleged the actor has moved out from the $60 million home he shares with Lopez.

The mother-of-two was seen house hunting in Beverly Hills without Ben on Tuesday.  

'He's focusing on his work and his kids now. Ben already moved out and they'll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for,' the insider went on to say.

'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.'

Jennifer's decision to release her Amazon Prime documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, in February, which chronicled her love story with Ben, seemingly put a strain on the pair's marriage.

The candid show was the third part of her very public $20 million tribute to Ben, which also consisted of 'his Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a semi autobiographical 'musical rom-com action sci-fi' film and her single, This Is Me... Now. 

The source said, 'Ben would never try to stifle [Jennifer]'s dreams or tell her she can’t do something that advances her career, even though she can be quite controlling of him.' 

On Wednesday Lopez wore a sporty look while heading to a dance studio. She kept comfortable in a cropped sweater, beige pants and sneakers.

Her honey-toned tresses were pulled into a ponytail and she rocked a pair of hoop earrings.

The day prior the multi-hyphenate appeared to be looking at new mega-mansions.

It has only been a year since Lopez and Affleck bought the $60.85 million, 46,000-square foot abode they currently own.

The home — referred to as the 'Wallingford estate' — sits on a five-acre promontory and boasts 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. 

Fans have pointed out that the pair have been spending a lot of time apart lately, and attending events without each other. 

Lopez was solo for her co-chairing duties at the glitzy Met Gala in New York on May 6, with many surprised that Affleck skipped the event. 

Ben is said to have been working on The Accountant 2, but the source said he 'decided to call it quits' on his marriage to the singer. 

Meanwhile Affleck was on his own while appearing at The Roast of Tom Brady on May 5th.

During their last outing together the pair appeared strained, with neither cracking a smile as they grabbed lunch at Cecconi's. 

Tensions were seemingly starting to bubble to the surface in Lopez's recent documentary, where Affleck admitted he wasn't comfortable with having such a public relationship. 

The director confessed, 'Getting back together, I said, "Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media.' Then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask. It's sort of, like, you're going to marry a boat captain and you go, "Well, I don’t want the water." We're trying to learn to compromise.' 

Throughout the show, Ben makes it clear that he doesn't like shining the spotlight on their love life, calling their private moments 'sacred' and rolling his eyes when he recalls Jennifer sharing all their old love notes with her friends and colleagues.

Meanwhile the Jenny from the Block hitmaker added, 'I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing this, [but] he doesn't want to stop me.

Affleck made it apparent in the documentary that the intense scrutiny in the early scrutiny when they were first dating in 2003 caused the couple to split just before they were se to get married.

The actor blamed it on 'the massive amount of scrutiny around our private life.'

The couple's love story started in 2002 when they dated while filming the movie Jersey Girl. They became engaged the following year but broke up in 2004. They then rekindled their romance in the spring of 2021.

The duo married in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at his Georgia estate on August 2022.

They detailed the highs and lows of their rekindled romance in J Lo's new documentary, yet while she is hellbent on publicly declaring her love, she openly admits Ben is 'uncomfortable' being her muse. 

Ben shared: 'Things that are private, I'd always felt are sacred and special because in part they're private... So this was something of an adjustment for me.' 

It's not the first time fans have speculated about there being trouble in paradise in the couple's marriage.

In May of last year Ben appeared to slam the car door after Jennifer sat in the passenger seat, causing fans to go in a frenzy on social media.

Fans took to Twitter to comment on the viral clip, noting that he looked 'miserable.'

That same month they were caught having yet another tense exchange in public.

The couple were driving in Beverly Hills when they stopped at a red light and engaged in a heated conversation.

Photos taken by a European tourist and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com showed a visibly frustrated Ben, who was behind the wheel, talking to Jennifer as she sat in the passenger seat of his Rivian electric SUV, with the windows rolled down.

The two also looked serious as they hit the red carpet at the premiere for her movie The Mother in May. The Get Loud songstress had a frown on her face and was gesticulating at her husband while he looked angry. 

The pair also raised eyebrows at the 2023 Grammy awards, when they were captured sharing an awkward moment where the star seemingly snapped at her partner. 

Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Upon tying the knot with Ben, she also became stepmother to his children whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. 

Garner was notable for her absence at Affleck's wedding in Georgia, with his brother Casey also declining to attend after saying he had prior parental commitments in Los Angeles.

It's been a stormy month for Lopez, who was reportedly at the center of crisis talks over her upcoming tour, with organizers keen to pull the plug over poor ticket sales to stave embarrassment - but the singer and her manager refused, insiders have claimed.

Lopez is hitting the road next month with a string of dates across North America in support of her ninth studio album, This is Me... Now.

But with only a matter of weeks to go, she is still facing a worrying lack of sales, with blocks of seating still available at multiple venues, according to official seat maps on Ticketmaster, and resale sites scalping tickets for as little as $10.

Now, multiple insiders have claimed Live Nation, the promoter behind the tour, recently suggested canceling all 30 dates – but no one, including her long term manager Benny Medina, was able to convince her.

Medina urged Lopez to create her latest album This Is Me.. Now, which centers around the rekindling of her relationship with Affleck 20 years after the two separated.

Affleck and Matt Damon's company Artists Equity financed the documentary, while Lopez self financed her film This Is Me…Now: A Love Story for $20 million.

Lopez's former publicist, Rob Shuter, uttered similar sentiments during an interview with the The New York Post, claiming her mistake was thinking people still care about her love story with Affleck.

'Jennifer’s always been a marketing and PR genius but her biggest miscalculation here is that she thinks the world is still interested in Ben and Jennifer’s love story,' he said.

'But no one cares about Bennifer anymore. The world has moved on.'

While they were yet to know about their looming box office failure, Bennifer were in front of the camera once more in 2002 as they reunited to shoot the 2004 movie Jersey Girl.

The movie was where their love was cemented and the couple's romance was born.

Their name was in fact born on-set, as Jersey Girl director Kevin Smith said: 'Bennifer' is trending.

'It's a name I first gave the kids during 'Jersey Girl' pre-production, before the world found out they were dating...

'I'd later drop the name in an interview with the @nytimes. Shortly thereafter, it appeared in the article and then entered the vernacular.' 

 

2002 ONWARD   

The duo made their red carpet debut at the premiere of her movie Maid In Manhattan.

From red carpet appearances to Juicy Couture tracksuits, they soon became one of the world's most photographed couples thanks to their Hollywood good looks and glamorous style.

Ben popped the question to Jennifer with an eye-popping 6.1-carat pink solitaire diamond from Harry Winston during a visit to see his family in Boston - leading to a delighted surprise.

She described the proposal, saying: 'It's just a blanket, a quilt of rose petals, all over the whole entire house. So many candles, and vases, bouquets.

'And my song I'm Glad was playing... I walk in and I was just like overwhelmed. I wasn't expecting it, and I was just like 'Oh my God.''

Ben then revealed his mother Christopher Anne Boldt helped him with the proposal, after which Jennifer said: 'I just started sobbing. Crying. I was like 'Oh! My God!''

She went on: 'I had cried a lot over sadness over the years. And for the first time in my life, I cried incredible purging tears of happiness...

'It was the most cleansing feeling and the most wonderful feeling I had ever had.'

Later that month, Ben appeared in Jennifer's Jenny From The Block music video including one scene - designed to look like a stealth paparazzi video - showing the actor caressing her famous derriere.

Not content with a video cameo, Jennifer dedicated her sensual and gushing track Dear Ben from her third studio album This Is Me... Then to her husband-to-be.

Days before their highly-publicized wedding, the couple astounded fans when they announced a postponement due to increasingly feverish media attention.

Their statement read: 'Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date...

'When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate 'decoy brides' at three different locations, we realized that something was awry...

'We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised.

'We felt what should have been a joyful and sacred day could be spoiled for us, our families and our friends.'

 

 JANUARY 2004 

The couple confirmed their split with a simple statement.

Jennifer's representative announced: 'I am confirming the report that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben Affleck.

'At this difficult time, we ask that you respect her privacy.'

 

2004 - 2005

Later that year, Jennifer sought comfort in her longtime friend, Marc Anthony, explaining: '[I wanted to] find someone who could make me feel loved and wanted in my loneliest hour...

'Thinking back, maybe deep down I knew that this was a Band-Aid on the cut.'

She married the singer that June and went on to have twins with the star in 2008. She divorced Marc in 2014.

Ben meanwhile wed actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they share three children, Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9. The couple split in 2018.

 2012

Ben made it clear that they very much remained friends, when he told The Hollywood Reporter: 'We don't have the kind of relationship where she relies on me for advice but we do have the kind of relationship where there'll be an e-mail saying, 'Oh, your movie looks great'...

'I remember when she got American Idol. I said, 'This was really smart. Good luck.''

'I respect her. I like her. She's put up with some stuff that was unfair in her life, and I'm really pleased to see her successful.'

 

2014

Two years later, Jennifer told Huffington Post: 'I would do it all over again, I think. I really would. Even the relationship part.

'I just feel like everything is part of your story and your journey and is meant to be and helps you grow if you're willing to look at it, and I'm willing to look.'

She said: 'I think different time different thing, who knows what could've happened, but there was a genuine love there, We didn't try to have a public relationship...

'We just happened to be together at the birth of the tabloids, and it was like, 'Oh my God.' It was just a lot of pressure.'

 

APRIL 2021

After being proposed to in 2019, Jennifer unexpectedly called off her engagement to MLB star Alex Rodriguez in April.

They had also reportedly enjoyed several meet-ups at the the Hotel Bel-Air around the same time.

TMZ reported that Affleck had reached out to J-Lo via email while she was in the Dominican Republic shooting her rom-com Shotgun Wedding earlier this year.

The pair are said to have continued communicating until Jennifer wrapped up filming in late April, with numerous sources stating that they were 'just friends.'

The Selena actress, 52, confirmed they said 'I do' on her newsletter On The JLo, where she shared details of their intimate wedding held at the Little White Wedding Chapel.

The newsletter was signed 'Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck' and included candid selfies of the newlyweds and video of the couple preparing for their special day, including one of Ben getting ready inside the chapel's bathroom and photos of J.Lo in her wedding dress. 

'We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,' she wrote in her post.

'Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter's second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.

'We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).

'So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben's closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives. They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.

'When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men's room.

'They were right when they said, 'all you need is love'. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to. Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.'

'And this was my wedding changing area!' Ben, wearing a white suit, declared as he held the camera up to a scratched-up mirror.

Jennifer, however, had more luxurious accommodations. She wore a chic yet simple chic dress with her hair styled in waves as she got glammed up inside an elegant bathroom.

'I feel amazing, excited,' Jennifer said before doing several twirls in her dress.

The bride appeared to be wearing two different white dresses in her post - the sleeveless frock and a more traditional lace garment which flashed some cleavage. She tucked a veil into her cascading waves. 

The couple collectively known as 'Bennifer' obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on Saturday and exchanged vows in a 'super small' ceremony. 

Jennifer will also be taking Affleck's last name. The Clark County Recorder's Office shows the pop star will be changing her name to 'Jennifer Affleck.' The marriage certificate, however, has yet to be filed. 

Marriage officiants have 10 calendar days to submit the certificate to their office for filing, according to the Clark County Clerk's Office.

AUGUST 2022

Ben and Jennifer tied the knot for a second time in a breathtaking wedding ceremony at his $8.9 million Georgia 'plantation' mansion surrounded by family, friends and A-List celebrities in August of 2022.

The celebrity couple known as 'Bennifer,' wowed the audience with Lopez wearing a stunning white, Ralph Lauren couture gown complete with long train and veil, while Affleck looked sharp in complementary white and black tuxedo.

Photographs shot from above showed the picture-perfect A-listers embracing one another through smiles at a waterside jetty, outside their enormous mansion, and while walking along a snowy white altar set up especially for the day.

The pair's happy reunion came 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call-off their wedding in fall 2003, blaming excessive media attention.

The couple was followed down the aisle after their nuptials by close friends and family, including their children from Jennifer's third husband Marc Anthony, as well as Affleck's first wife Jennifer Garner.

Garner was notable for her absence, with Affleck's brother Casey also declining to attend after saying he had prior parental commitments in Los Angeles.
