Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck trying to rekindle romance
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are drawing on the early days of their romance in a desperate bid to get their marriage back on track, with the estranged pair writing love letters to one another in an attempt to rekindle their strained relationship, the Daily Mail reports.
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, who reunited in 2021 after first splitting in 2004, have been living separately, been pictured on occasion without their wedding rings and have not been seen together since June as they contend with persistent reports that their two-year marriage is in crisis and spiraling towards divorce.
But despite being ready to ‘throw in the towel’ a few months back, Lopez and Affleck are no longer on the verge of a split as they are working to save their union by keeping their love life out of the spotlight.
'Jen and Ben agreed it is best to take some time apart so they can really figure out what it is that they want,’ an insider told DailyMail.com.
‘They were ready to throw in the towel. Divorce papers are done and ready to be filed. But they wanted to give it one last go before walking away from this and are going back to the beginning by writing each other letters. This is what made them fall in love in the first place.’
The couple, affectionately known as 'Bennifer,' got engaged at the end of 2002 but broke it off a year later before calling quits on their relationship for good in 2004.
They reunited in July 2021, and finally said 'I do' the following year, first in Las Vegas and then again in August at Affleck’s Georgia mansion.
A separate source claimed their marriage is 'strained,' but added 'there is also a deep love for each other.'
