Ben was spotted walking down the street while clutching two bouquets of various flowers in his left hand.
One appeared to be made up exclusively of yellow sunflowers, while the other consisted of a variety of colorful blooms.
The 51-year-old drank out of a small plastic cup he held in his other hand, as he walked with purpose.
The Good Will Hunting star looked relaxed in a tight pair of blue jeans, a blue plaid flannel and Boston-centric T-shirt.
Eventually, he reached his destination – Jennifer herself. However, the gift was met with a subdued reaction, as the two stared at each other in the alley.
On Friday, an insider revealed to Us Weekly that Ben, 51, moved out of their $60 million home in Beverly Hills, California “several weeks ago.”
Another source told the outlet that the couple began having problems “a few months ago.”
“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”
This summer, Jen will hit the road to perform in arenas around the United States singing her greatest hits.
The US Sun reached out to JLo and Ben’s reps for comment.
RUMOR HAS IT
The separation rumors began when the couple weren’t seen together in 47 days.
The married couple sparked alarm when Jennifer arrived at the Met Gala without her husband of two years.
A source exclusively explained the duo’s dynamic to The U.S. Sun, saying, “The ground rules are, Jennifer and Ben are allowed to go off and do projects, appearances and work that completely don’t involve each other, and definitely involve spending weeks at a time apart.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck relationship timeline
JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022. Here is a timeline of their love story:
“The fundamental difference between them is that Jennifer has an incredible golden optimism about every situation and Ben sees everything – and I mean everything – in his life as a problem that only he can solve.
“She’s good at ignoring little, insignificant stuff and focusing on the big picture and he isn’t,” the insider added.
ON A BREAK
Meanwhile, another source claimed that Ben “reached a breaking point” with the actress and had checked out of the relationship.
“It’s over; they’re headed for a divorce and for once [Ben’s] not to blame. He’s focusing on his work and kids now,” the source told In Touch.
“They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
Jennifer and Ben reunited in July 2021 after breaking off their engagement two decades earlier.
Their romance quickly blossomed, and they got engaged the following April.
Ben had been divorced from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, 52, since October 2018, while Jennifer had recently broken off her engagement to MLB star Alex Rodriguez.
Upon getting married, Ben and Jennifer blended their families together, with the actor’s three kids, Violet, 18, Seraphina “Fin”, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with his ex-wife, and the pop star’s twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, 55.
