Ben and J. Lo were seemingly spending time apart in spring 2024, with the Flash<\/em> actor noticeably absent from the Met Gala<\/a> as his wife served as a co-chair for the event. A source told In Touch<\/em> on May 15, 2024, that the couple was headed for a split after struggling to make the relationship work.<\/p>\n \u201cThe writing is on the wall \u2013 it\u2019s over,\u201d the insider said. \u201cThey\u2019re headed for a divorce \u2013 and for once, [Ben\u2019s] not to blame!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s focusing on his work and his kids now,\u201d the insider continued, referring to his children Violet, Fin and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner<\/strong>. \u201cBen already moved out and they\u2019ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They\u2019ll never stop loving each other, but she can\u2019t control him, and he can\u2019t change her. There\u2019s no way it could have lasted.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite their relationship issues, Ben and J. Lo put on a united front<\/a> for the first time in 47 days at Fin\u2019s school play in Los Angeles on May 16, 2024, according to photos obtained by In Touch<\/em><\/a>. J. Lo\u2019s child Emme Muniz, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony, was also at the event, although twin brother Max was not.<\/p>\n \u201cJen looked super thin and was dressed casual-chic. She didn\u2019t glam up like the last time she came to a school function,\u201d an eyewitness told the outlet. \u201cShe seemed more subdued than usual when she greeted Ben as he pulled the car up. Emme was super excited, though, jumping for joy over Fin\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n A separate insider said that \u201cnothing would have stopped them coming together for the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
