Focus on family

An insider close to the couple revealed that their primary focus during these challenging times has been their families. "Jen and Ben are both keeping their kids and respective families at the forefront of their minds as they navigate these changes,” the source told ET. Despite their physical distance and the recent decision to put their $60 million home on the market, the couple remains committed to their loved ones.

Living apart

Reports suggest that Jennifer and Ben have been living separately for over a month. Ben, while residing in Brentwood, is said to be very protective of Jennifer, even though their marriage has faced considerable strain. "Jen and Ben have been living separate lives but have not officially separated yet," another source explained. "At this point, they are just doing their own thing. They went into their relationship very optimistic and thought things could change, but they haven't."

Public appearances and rumours

Despite the separation, Jennifer has been spotted engaging in activities that suggest she is trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Just a day before their anniversary, she was seen in the Hamptons with Ben's daughter Violet, shopping and dining. This outing fueled rumors about their marital status, with some speculating that their public appearances might be an attempt to project unity.

Hope for reconciliation

While the couple has not been seen together in recent weeks, their wedding rings continue to spark speculation about their commitment to each other. Sources close to the family have indicated that their children are hopeful for a reconciliation. “They have not officially separated and are still trying to work things out,” shared a family friend.

Fans' expectations

As fans eagerly watch for any signs of a public gesture or a social media post that could indicate a rekindling of their romance, the couple's current situation remains uncertain. Whether Jennifer and Ben are genuinely committed to resolving their issues or simply maintaining appearances, one thing is clear: their fans and close friends are rooting for a comeback. Any small move from Bennifer could reignite the spark that once made them Hollywood's beloved couple.
