Hollywood sweethearts Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage is under strain and the rekindled power couple are "headed for a divorce," according to a sensational report.
The pair were last seen together seven weeks ago while grabbing a bite to eat in New York City, fueling rumors that a split announcement could be around the corner, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Affleck was, however, photographed Thursday morning leaving the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, from a home he "seems to be occupying without his wife."
The pair hadn't been seen together in seven weeks before putting on a united front for their child.
J Lo stepped out solo again on Wednesday as she arrived at a dance studio in Los Angeles accompanied by her crew, flashing a big smile at cameras just one day after the mom-of-two was seen house hunting in Beverly Hills without her husband.
Speculation about their status has grown after Affleck was notably MIA at this year's Met Gala, despite it being a big night for the star as co-chair of the event.
Affleck was claimed to be busy filming The Accountant 2 which is why he could not attend, but In Touch's source said he "decided to call it quits" on his marriage to the A-lister and has allegedly "already moved out" of their marital home in Beverly Hills.
The new reports claim that Bennifer's union has now reached a breaking point.
Lopez and Affleck bought the $60.85 million mansion they share last year, as RadarOnline.com previously reported.
Bennifer's love story captivated the masses when the pair got engaged at the end of 2002, but the pair eventually split in 2004 and moved on romantically.
Lopez was married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014. The now-exes welcomed twins Max and Emme prior to their split.
Affleck, soon after, tied the knot with actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and the famous former flames now share three kids together, daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel.
Sources claimed the marriage hit a rough patch as Lopez 'started ramping up her work commitments.'
Prior to Bennifer's reconciliation, she was engaged to MLB star Alex Rodriguez and Affleck dated Deep Water costar Ana de Armas.
Fans were stunned to learn that Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in April 2021. This time, the couple made it to the altar in Las Vegas and wed in July 2022, going on to hold another ceremony for their family and friends at his massive estate in Riceboro, Georgia.
Sources told us last year they were facing troubles as Lopez was "bothered" that he started chewing nicotine gum nonstop in an effort to kick his smoking habit.
Affleck sported his wedding band at the event after being seen without it on Friday and Saturday.
