Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the beloved Hollywood power couple, celebrated their second wedding anniversary this week amid persistent rumors of marital difficulties. The couple, who rekindled their romance after nearly two decades apart, are reportedly navigating through a challenging phase in their relationship.
Sources close to Lopez and Affleck revealed that while they marked the milestone with a private celebration, underlying tensions have clouded their happiness. “They are trying to work things out,” said a friend of the couple. “It’s been a tough year for both of them, juggling their careers and personal lives.”
The couple, affectionately dubbed “Bennifer” by fans, initially split in 2004 after a high-profile engagement. They reunited in 2021, rekindling their romance and eventually marrying in a lavish ceremony in July 2022. Their reunion was met with widespread excitement, with fans and media alike celebrating their love story’s revival.
However, recent months have seen an uptick in speculation about the state of their marriage. Reports suggest that the pressures of their demanding careers, combined with the challenges of blending their families, have taken a toll. Lopez, a global music and film superstar, and Affleck, an acclaimed actor and filmmaker, both have busy schedules that often keep them apart.
Despite the rumours, the couple has been seen making efforts to spend quality time together. They were recently spotted on a romantic getaway, hoping to reconnect and strengthen their bond. “They are committed to making it work,” another insider shared. “They love each other deeply and are determined to overcome these issues.”
Lopez and Affleck have not publicly addressed the rumours, maintaining a united front. On their anniversary, Lopez shared a heartfelt post on social media, expressing her love and gratitude for Affleck. “Two years of love, laughter, and growth. Here’s to many more, my love,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo of the two embracing.
Fans of the couple have taken to social media to express their support, sending messages of encouragement and hope. “Every relationship has its ups and downs. We believe in Bennifer!” one fan tweeted.
As Lopez and Affleck navigate this tumultuous period, friends and family remain hopeful that their strong connection and mutual dedication will see them through. “They’ve overcome so much to be together again,” a close friend noted. “If anyone can make it through this, it’s them.”
