Have they signed divorce papers or are they going to give it a go ? Do they live separately but get together for family celebrations? Why do they wear their wedding rings some days and take them off other days? These are some of the questions that fans of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been asking themselves for weeks. The actors continue to play dumb with their marriage and many don't understand what's going on .

So far, what we know is that the singer and the film director have not lived together for months and have decided to put the mansion they bought for 55 million euros up for sale. The Gone Girl  actor has been living in a rented house for weeks where he has been receiving visits from his wife and also his children (Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12), as well as his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner .


It seemed like a divorce announcement was imminent, but this weekend the couple has once again given mixed signals. Both Ben and Jennifer have worn their wedding rings again, and the star of Atlas  has also been photographed wearing a gold bracelet with an XXL 'B' on it during a walk with friends in The Hamptons . Seeing her, one cannot help but wonder: would she wear a personalized bracelet with her husband's initial if they were in the middle of a divorce? Is she trying to send a message?

This weekend, a post that the Bronx diva shared on her official account has also been much talked about. Jennifer has recalled the song Cambia el paso , which she released in 2021 with Rauw Alejandro, and in which she repeats the word: "Avanza" several times. "One, two, three, move forward. Left, right, left, move forward. One, two, three, move forward. All she wants to do is dance, dance, dance, dance," sings JLO in the fragment of the video clip that she has shared. Her followers think that this post reflects the singer's intention to turn the page as soon as possible. Is it true?

We don't know what will ultimately happen with 'Bennifer', but those close to her assure that there is no turning back . " Jenny has had enough. She has really tried, but she can't do anything more  [to save her marriage]. Things are not getting better, they are getting worse," a source told Daily Mail a few weeks ago , explaining that the singer did not like that her husband was always "grumpy and negative."


For his part, the Batman actor has reportedly been overwhelmed by his wife's media exposure. "She likes to share everything about her life. He is more introspective and reserved (...) Jennifer needs that, but  that doesn't make Ben happy and causes him a lot of stress ," Ben's close circle told People magazine , assuring that it is something that has inevitably ended up taking its toll on them.
