Rumors surrounding a split have plagued the Hollywood heavyweights for months. Sources told People magazine in June that Lopez was living in the couple's $60 million Beverly Hills abode while Affleck stayed in a rental nearby as they attempted to sell the pricey mansion.
"He started moving out a while ago," a source told Fox News Digital at the time. "The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken. She loves love and wanted this to work so badly."
Despite the difficult time in his personal life, Affleck remained committed to his professional goals.
"Ben has been working nonstop and spending a lot of time at his office," the insider said. "He has a lot of projects he’s working on that he’s excited about. He’s quite hands-on with his company (Artists Equity). He really wants to continue focusing on directing, acting and producing."

Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, first said "I do" during a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022.
Court documents showed Lopez, listed as "Party 2," requested a "new name" on their marriage certificate filing, which was first received on Saturday, July 16, and filed with the Clark County Clerk's Office on the following day.
