Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck apparently did not spend their second wedding anniversary together. While he was photographed in Los Angeles, she was seen in the Hamptons – both in the company of other people.
On July 16, 2022, Jennifer Lopez, 54, and Ben Affleck, 51, finally tied the knot. Nearly two decades passed between their first and second engagements, and their wedding in the summer of 2022 was meant to make their love last forever. All the darker are the clouds that have been gathering over the Hollywood stars’ relationship for weeks, refusing to clear. It is now their second wedding anniversary that Affleck and Lopez spent very differently than their fans might have hoped.
Jennifer Lopez was in the Hamptons on the second wedding anniversary, Ben Affleck in L.A.
As photos obtained by “Page Six” and the British “Daily Mail” show, JLo was seen on July 16, 2024, riding through the Hamptons – a region popular with celebrities in the state of New York – in an old Mercedes-Benz convertible accompanied by a man. Lopez herself was sitting in the passenger seat of the stylish car, with her longtime manager Benny Medina, 66, behind the wheel.
Despite the sunshine, neither the singer nor her business partner cracked a smile. Later that same day, the 54-year-old was spotted on a bicycle: she wore cream-colored overalls and brown flip-flops, paired with a light top and, unusually, no sunglasses. However, her mood did not seem to have significantly improved, as she still appeared tense.
While his beloved was somberly seen near New York, the usually grumpy Ben Affleck was photographed smiling. Photos show the actor on his way to his office in Los Angeles. Affleck wore a gray suit and carried a large leather bag. Additionally, the photographer observed that he was accompanied by a “mysterious woman.” However, the unknown woman was not captured in the photos, and her identity remains unclear.
Rumors of a “Bennifer” crisis persist
In early May 2024, the first rumors of a crisis surrounding the Hollywood couple surfaced. Insiders close to “Bennifer” were already certain: “The honeymoon is over.” The fact that Affleck alternately showed off and removed his wedding ring fueled the rumor mill. Affleck and Lopez also spent Independence Day, celebrated annually on July 4th in the U.S., apart from each other. In recent weeks, they have also been working on selling their luxurious villa and jointly purchased artworks.
