Lopez and Affleck began dating again in mid-2021 and finally said their “I do’s” in two separate ceremonies over the summer of 2022. 

Over the past several weeks, there have been rumors that Affleck and Lopez are on the outs, with at least one source claiming that divorce is “imminent” for the pair. 

At this time, neither have made any public statements confirming the end of their marriage, though a source told PEOPLE in June that the two “don’t have any summer plans together” and are “focused on their separate lives.”
