‘Done’: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ‘no longer speaking’

For months, the couple have been at the centre of split rumours as they continue to live their lives on opposite sides of the country. Lopez has been enjoying her summer in the Hamptons, while Affleck has been out and about in Los Angeles.

However, whispers about the state of their marriage took a drastic turn when Affleck didn’t attend Lopez’s luxurious “Bridgerton”-themed 55th birthday party on July 24.

“Ben didn’t come to celebrate Jennifer’s birthday because they are done,” a source tells Fox News Digital. “Totally done. They are not getting back together.”

Instead, the “Argo” actor-director closed escrow on his new $20.5 million home in Los Angeles, according to People magazine. That same day, the Grammy Award-winning Lopez reportedly finalised the sale of her New York City condo.

“They are not communicating right now,” the source added. “If she wants to talk to his kids, she goes straight to the kids. Same with him.”

Representatives for Lopez and Affleck did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The new real estate transactions come two weeks after the duo publicly listed their 6-acre Beverly Hills estate for $68 million. According to the listing, the home was “renovated with the highest level of quality” within the last four months. The 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion has a wide array of luxury features including a sports lounge, a gym, a boxing ring, pickleball and basketball courts, a built-in elevator and more.

Rumours of the couple’s split began earlier this year when they went 47 days without being spotted together. Since then, they have only been seen together on rare occasions, including school graduations for Affleck’s children, Violet and Samuel.Affleck shares three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Lopez shares twins, Max and Emme, with former husband Marc Anthony.

A source recently told Fox News Digital that both Affleck and Lopez are doing their best to be there for all the children.

“JLo wants to be there for Ben’s kids. She’s changed her life and made it more about the children. She thought she’d be doing this with Ben, and she’s not. Ben’s kids really do like JLo, and they loved seeing their dad so happy with JLo,” they said.

The source added, “Part of the thing that was so amazing to both of them was coming back with children. When JLo and Ben first started dating, he decided he wanted to dedicate himself to being a better dad to his kids and blend this happy family together.”

Shortly after spending the Fourth of July separately, Lopez honoured a song she released in 2021 about making changes in her life, which some people read as the star hinting at a break-up.

She posted the official music video for her song, “Cambia El Paso,” on Instagram on July 7. The song includes a Spanish lyric that reads, “He doesn’t deserve to have her in his arms,” when translated to English.
