  • Is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage really on the rocks … already? Tabloids have reported that they’re selling their family mansion and J.Lo even cancelled her This Is Me … Live tour
  • Before marrying the ‘Jenny From the Block’ singer, the Batman v Superman actor was with his now-ex-wife Jennifer Garner for over a decade, and dated a string of high-profile stars in his early career

Rumour has it there is trouble in paradise for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Not only are they selling their family mansion – yup, the one they bought after tying the knot two years ago – but Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring on a day out in May, and J. Lo has cancelled her entire This Is Me … Live tour because she is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends”, as reported by Cosmopolitan.

It’s unclear exactly where their marriage stands today, but the tabloids have been running with the story ever since it first emerged that there seemed to be issues within the Bennifer household.
