Is it really the end for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage?

A day before the public revelation of a potential split between the beloved couple, the "Get Right" singer was seen scouting for a new residence in Beverly Hills.

As Bennifer, the couple's nickname, nears their second year of marriage, insiders have disclosed that their romantic partnership has ended.

An insider revealed to In Touch, via The Blast, "The split is getting nasty. She isn't wasting any time moving on from [Affleck]."

"She went to the Met Gala alone, she went out to dinner on Mother's Day without him, and now she's looking for a new home for herself, after they had spent months searching for their dream home."

The insider added, "And with a combined net worth of $550 million, the divorce is only going to get nastier."

For weeks, there have been speculations about the couple's marriage status as they have been seen without their wedding rings multiple times. Recently, Lopez made a solo appearance at a film premiere amid rumors about a potential divorce. Reports suggest growing tension between them, with the Lopez displaying a defensive attitude when pressed about the state of their union.

Reports have also surfaced suggesting that the couple is now searching for new homes individually, indicating they are no longer residing together.

According to the claims, Affleck has been seen living alone in a Brentwood residence. At the same time, the "Hustlers" actress has been reported to reside in the lavish $60 million Beverly Hills estate they jointly acquired in the previous year.

Lopez and Affleck exchanged vows in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony during the summer of 2022, followed by a second "I do" months later.

Should the couple decide to part ways, it wouldn't be unfamiliar territory for them.

The famous duo called it quits in 2004 after officially calling off their extravagant wedding.

During this period, Affleck's former wife, Jennifer Garner, is reportedly concerned about his well-being and is making every effort to support his relationship with Lopez.

According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, "[Garner] has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different... they both dealt with some of the same issues."

"[Lopez] does not want [Affleck] to pull the plug on this marriage because she really does care about [Lopez]."

"[Garner] did go to his house to talk to him about this and to try and keep the two of them together."

"[Lopez] was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives."

However, taking these reports with a grain of salt is best.
