Affleck and Lopez first sparked rumors their marriage was on the rocks earlier this year when they hadn't been photographed together in quite some time. It was later revealed that the pair have been living separately with Affleck residing in a Brentwood rental for the past two months.

Despite the rumors, neither Affleck nor Lopez has publicly spoken out about the status of their relationship.
