Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend tense graduation amid separation
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attended the actress's daughter's Thursday high school graduation ceremony. The couple held hands, but their expressions suggested everything was not entirely okay.
Foreign media report that the actor and the singer have not reached an agreement for two months, with dark clouds perpetually hovering over their marriage. Due to the ongoing crisis, they are currently living in separate residences.
According to information provided by foxnews.com, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appeared tense while holding hands at the Thursday high school graduation ceremony of Affleck's daughter, Violet.
This is the first time the couple has been seen together in almost two weeks—they only met because of their children.
Fans were greatly surprised by another announcement on May 31—Lopez canceled her concert tour. Representatives of Live Nation explained that the artist decided to take time off to devote more time to her children, family, and friends.
The singer also shared a message with her fans:
"I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you, and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…"
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck fight over finances and parenting
A source who attended a meeting with the star this week revealed to Fox News Digital that Jennifer did not mention her concert tour at all.
"She seemed a bit distant," said the informant, adding, "polite, but it seemed like [she had] a lot on her mind."
Another source told the website that the couple have different approaches to parenting and finances, which has become the main source of conflict.
"They have fought about their differences on what they give their kids and how to raise them at times," the informant stated.
It should be noted that Ben and Jennifer do not have children together. The singer is the mother of Emme and Max, whose father is her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. Affleck is the father of Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, whom he shares with Jennifer Garner.
