Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may be experiencing some tension in their marriage.

The “On the Floor” singer and Deep Water actor rekindled their romance in 2021 after splitting up in 2004. After going public with their relationship the same year, they got married in a small ceremony in July 2022.

However, in early 2024, it seemed their marriage was on the rocks after they hadn’t been seen together for over a month. Sources told PEOPLE in May 2024 that Lopez and Affleck’s marriage “is not in the best place at the moment” as they were living separate lives.

“She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world,” a music source said of Lopez. “He is more introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day.”

From when they were last photographed together to what’s in store for their future, here’s a complete timeline of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s ups and downs in their relationship.

In February, Lopez was busy promoting her visual album, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, an accompaniment to her new album This Is Me…Now. At the premiere, she spoke about how Affleck encouraged her throughout the process, believing in her as she funded the project herself.

“I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this.’ He was like, ‘You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things,’ ” she said of their conversation. “‘Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are.’ ”

February 27, 2024: Ben Affleck spoke about not wanting a “relationship on social media” in Jennifer Lopez’s documentary

In the accompanying documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which focused on Affleck’s support for Lopez, the Batman actor explained how he didn’t want his relationship playing out in the public eye.

“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,’ ” he said. “Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’ ”

Affleck added that the backbone of their relationship was “compromise.” While he may sometimes be uncomfortable being Lopez’s muse, she said in the documentary that he has still been supportive.

“I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing all of this,” Lopez said. “But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist, and he’s gonna support me in every way he can because he knows you can’t stop me from making the music I made … he doesn’t want to stop me. But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”
