Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are living separate lives, according to reports and an expert says recent snaps show their huge contrast.

The former Hollywood power couple, who tied the knot in 2022, are thought to be heading for divorce. Spotted on solo outings recently, a body language professional has analysed images of the pair, detailing the couple's approach to their alleged issues.

Rumours have been circulating for weeks, with Ben spotted with and without his wedding ring. But more recently, he was seen hugging his mum while out with ex Jennifer Garner, who's thought to be supporting the pair. Similarly, the Jenny from the Block hitmaker was also spotted out on her own, grabbing groceries from a store.

Exclusively dissecting the snaps for the Mirror, behavioural professional Judi James explained: "With J-Lo and Ben photographed in DOT mode – doing their own thing – the contrast could hardly be greater. While Jen does her 'shopping' in crisp, perfectly styled, camera-happy jeans and that tiny designer bag and platform shoes, wearing a rather rigid fixed smile on her face, there's something about the emphatically casual, baggy 'uniform'.

"The body language energy of Ben's family grouping of his ex-wife and his mother that suggests this might be the sort of less public, less pretentious and more low-key life that he feels he craves. It's as far from his red carpet 'perfect' outings with Jennifer or even her 'perfect' shopping trip as he can get." Judi continued: "The PDAs here look spontaneous and less photogenic and the smiles and laughs from ex-Jennifer and his mom suggest they might try to lift his mood and possibly offer support.

"The two women are even displayed hugging together fondly and there's something about ex-Jennifer's sports gear and Ben's mom's grey cardi that matches Ben's own casual look that creates a more relaxed and mirrored vibe here. The way Ben's hands are stuffed into his pockets creates an air of reluctance in terms of the camera attention and there’s even that little hike of the pants as the two women hug to suggest he's either lost some weight or forgotten to buy a belt for a pair of old, comfy jeans."

Ben and Jennifer married in 2022, 20 years after they originally got together. They first dated in the early noughties before getting engaged and calling off the relationship days before the wedding. Then the couple got back together after both marrying and having children with other people. Now it's reported the relationship might be on the rocks.
