Admittedly, a person not being with their partner every second of the day isn’t great evidence for a split.
But fans have continued to question whether actor Ben Affleck is still with his wife, singer Jennifer Lopez.
The rumors have essentially been sparked by the fact the pair - who first dated in the early noughties and split in 2004, before rekindling in 2021 and marrying in 2022 - haven’t been together at all recently, well, at least publicly.

The celebrity couple were last photographed together in public on 30 March, when they were seen holding hands in New York City, but speculation has spiraled since then as they've kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
Rumors were only fueled further on 15 May when an insider told In Touch that the relationship was actually 'over'.
“They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work,” the source claimed.

“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.
"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. "
Since then, Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner was seen visiting the star.
She was driving up to Affleck’s his new $100,000-a-month rental in Santa Monica, California, according to the Mail Online.

This has further pushed the rumors that he and J Lo have split as he is not currently at the couple’s shared home in Los Angeles.
Garner and Affleck were married between 2005 to 2018 and share three kids together - Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, so a visit wouldn’t be completely out of the question.
As she drove up to the home, it did not appear that the 13 Going On 30 actress came to the home with any of their children, however.

This is especially true as the pair met earlier in the day at Samuel's basketball game, although they did not leave together. Lopez was not in attendance.
As fans continue to speculate, Affleck was spotted on a solo outing as he left Baltaire restaurant in Los Angeles on May 13, where he was once again without his wife.
However, it is important to note that both are likely busy with various projects at the moment. Lopez recently acted as one of the co-chairs for the Met Gala, while also promoting her upcoming Netflix film, Atlas.
