JLO visits Ben Affleck ahead of birthday
With Ben Affleck’s birthday just around the corner on August 15th, Jennifer Lopez has made a pre-celebration appearance. Despite recently purchasing a lavish $20 million mansion in LA, Affleck has yet to fully settle in and is currently residing in a rental property in Brentwood.
Over the weekend, a source informed PEOPLE that Lopez was spotted visiting Affleck at his rental home, suggesting a potential reconciliation or at least a temporary truce between the couple. The actress also spent quality time with Affleck’s son, Samuel, earlier that day, taking him to the mall.
“Just because she’s not with Ben doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids,” the insider claimed. “She always cared about them. She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year. Now when she’s back in L.A. she wants to spend quality time with them before school resumes and Violet is off to college.”

The last time Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were publicly photographed together was over two months ago. Amid rumors of marital difficulties, the couple has maintained a relatively low profile.”
A source earlier said, “She’s been off and able to focus on what’s next. She’s enjoyed spending time with her kids, family and friends. She always has good attitude even when things are not perfect.”
While Affleck recently purchased a new home in Los Angeles, the couple’s current residence remains on the market. Lopez has also been house hunting in the area. Despite these challenges, Lopez’s recent visit to Affleck’s home suggests that the couple may be working through their issues.
In the meantime, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are preparing for their latest joint venture, a sports biopic titled Unstoppable.
