“[Ben has] struggled with loneliness” since moving out of their home “and realized how much he misses Jen,” the source claimed.

A second source, meanwhile, added that while they’ve been apart “Ben and Jen kept in touch primarily to discuss essential matters and updates.”

Now, though, the couple are “both reassessing their priorities and [figuring out] what they truly want from the marriage,” the second source said.

Fans will remember how the superstar couple called off their first engagement almost 20 years ago, ultimately finding new partners and moving on with their lives before reuniting to finally tie the knot at a secret Las Vegas wedding in 2022.

But if fans of the couple had allowed themselves to hope that a fairytale, happy ending was in the offing, the gossip of recent weeks has categorically soured such an idea.

Radar Online also reported this week that Lopez was “desperate” for her marriage to Affleck to work, though the iconic singer is set to kick off her This Is Me… Now tour on June 26.

A source is said to have spilled that Affleck “doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle” and feels “worn down” by their marriage in its current state.

There’s undoubtedly more to come in this tale of twists and turns, so stay tuned!
