“If someone decides to rent [a] place [it] doesn’t mean they’re necessarily separating,” he noted. “I know from having two kids, it’s like, sometimes you just need a break – especially if you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m going to be writing this script and I need just two weeks to focus.’”

“But yeah, no, I haven’t spoke to him,” he clarified.

In May, Mewes was asked by TMZ whether he’d heard the speculation that Bennifer was “on the rocks” to which he replied, “I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t believe that.” He noted that maybe they were just busy working or it’s “too much with the kids”.

The Gone Girl actor and “Jenny From the Block” singer have been married for two years, and have recently been in the news for a rumoured rift.
