Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are keen (too keen, some might argue) to show the world that there isn’t any trouble in paradise after the 50-year-old Tender Bar actor was recently spotted without his wedding ring, as they posted an extremely overly affectionate video to social media that almost gave Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker a run for their money. (We said almost!)

Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck’s Adorable Instagram and TikTok Video
The 53-year-old Marry Me actress shared a video to her Instagram account on Sunday, November 20th (and also on TikTok) featuring herself and her new husband smiling and cuddling, and generally behaving like you would expect loved-up newlyweds to behave. J-Lo can be seen sitting on Ben’s lap, with the audio saying: “Guys, I did it! I found the person that makes me the happiest I have ever been.”
(Don’t expect to see it on her Instagram right now though, as the JLo Beauty founder has made her profile completely dark and wiped all previous content, replacing her profile picture with a black image, which most fans think means a big career announcement is coming. Her previous content is still on her Twitter, Facebook and TikTok pages though (thank goodness!) but the profiles have also all gone dark.)
Some people thought the Instagram video of Bennifer was the cutest thing ever, with one fan commenting, "Their breakup was a tough one for me lol. I love that they found their way back to each other," and another adding, "We waited too long for this. Congratulations," while others thought it could have been a distraction and something to pave over the alleged cracks in their relationship, of which there are many if we are to believe insiders! "I give them 2 more weeks," one skeptical fan commented. "Ben deserves an Oscar for the acting in this film. Best role ever," another quipped.
Are Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Currently Living Apart?
There are unfortunately many reports that suggest that divorce could be imminent, despite the pair only tying the knot this summer. According to reports, the "On My Way" singer and the Gone Girl actor are living apart right now (omg!) in a bid to try and salvage their relationship, which has allegedly been on the rocks for the past few months.
Reports of trouble in paradise first started when several sources hinted that the Batman v Superman actor was unhappy that his new wife was dedicating most of her time to work as opposed to their new marriage. "She had him fooled for a while, but Ben’s realizing Jennifer is as career-driven as she ever was," an insider told RadarOnline at the time.

And J-Lo reportedly has her issues with her new husband too, as not only does she despise his smoking habit, but she is also reportedly affected by his messiness too, which is one of the reasons why they are reportedly living apart right now.
"Ben doesn't clean up after himself, which irritates the [expletive] out of Jennifer," another source told RadarOnline. "She absolutely hates Ben's cigarettes," they added. "He promised to give it up, but with all her nagging he's smoking more than ever."
Ben Affleck Spotted Without His Wedding Ring
Another sign of there being trouble in paradise came when Ben – who RadarOnline said looked "sad and defeated" – was spotted without his wedding ring, which he then tried to hide by keeping his left hand in his pants pocket when he was caught by paparazzi, while his right hand was holding onto his iced coffee.

Inside Sources Say Jennifer And Ben Are 'Living Their Best Lives'
However, another source reportedly told Entertainment Tonight just last month that there is no truth in the rumors of there being trouble in paradise, as they suggested that Jennifer and Ben are "truly living their best lives" as husband and wife.
"Jen and Ben are essentially inseparable and feel like getting married was one of the best things they’ve ever done," the source said. "They are over the moon in love. They are happier than ever, as are their families. Everyone is adjusted and getting along very well. They feel very unified."
Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Relationship History
Many fans have wondered whether the newlyweds rushed into things the second time round, after rekindling their romance in 2021, 17 years after they called off their first engagement. They announced their second engagement in April this year, and got married in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas just three months later, before having an enormous star-studded wedding in Georgia in August.
