Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Will Reportedly Keep Separate Homes Since Things Are ‘Going Well as Is’
Us Weekly's surprise report that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are planning to move in “soon” just two months into their rekindled relationship may be a bit off the mark, at least according to what E! was told. E! ran its own report hours after Us's broke, where a source close to Affleck explained that actually, Bennifer will maintain their own places when J.Lo moves from Miami to Los Angeles.
“Ben is very settled in his home and it's close by to his kids,” the source said. “Jennifer's house is also a place she likes being and is a good family home.”
That source added that Bennifer's romance is “going well as is,” so they don't see the need to make the literal move in now. “They are both back and forth to each other's homes and live close enough that it's not an issue,” the source explained.
E!'s dispatch from its Affleck source is seemingly in response to an insider claiming to Us that “Ben and Jen are spending almost every night together when they’re not working. They plan on moving in together very soon.”
Us's source added that the two aren't bothered by people saying they're moving too fast. Lopez and Affleck were previously engaged in the early 2000s and were first reported to be dating again this May.
“[They] laugh at anyone who says they’re rushing things,” Us's source said. “As far as Jen sees it, she and Ben have their whole lives now to set things up in a comfortable way. She intends to be an involved stepmom who’s there for Ben in that area, plus she’ll want him to make the same effort with her and Marc’s kids.”
Neither Lopez nor Affleck have commented on the moving in reports. The couple has yet to make their relationship Instagram official—something likely to happen before they move in, given how public their bi-coastal romance has been.
