Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together, at least for now. The high-profile couple, who tied the knot last year after rekindling their decades-old romance, reunited ahead of Affleck’s birthday. Despite spending much of the summer apart, Lopez was spotted visiting Affleck’s Los Angeles home amid rumors of marital woes.
For those unfamiliar, the singer celebrated her birthday alone in the Hamptons last month, far from her husband. However, sources say she cares deeply about all their kids and is doing this for their sake.

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.”
