Rumors about their separation have been bothering
Hollywood executives for months. A source told
People magazine in June that Lopez was living
in the couple’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion
while Affleck was living nearby in a rented home
and trying to sell the pricey mansion.
“He started leaving earlier,” a source told Fox News
Digital at the time. “The marriage is finally over and
Jennifer is heartbroken. He loves love
and he really wanted it to work.”
Despite difficult times in his personal life,
Affleck remained true to his professional goals.
“Ben works non-stop and spends a lot of time in
his office,” the insider said. “He does a lot of
projects that excite him. He is very hands-on with
his company (Artists Equity). He wants to
continue to focus on directing, acting and producing.”

whom he met on the set of Pearl Harbor, in 2000.
