Ben Affleck has “come to his senses” about his “fever dream” marriage to Jennifer Lopez amid divorce rumours.
Many sources have claimed that the two stars are living separately while both are in Los Angeles.
However, the couple who had not been seen together in public since March 30th, put on a united front over the weekend.

The Oscar winner and the singer shut down rumours by exiting the Aero Theatre in Brentwood together.
The couple arrived at the theatre separately and met with their children and Ben’s ex Jennifer Garner.
The A-list couple then departed in a car, flashing big smiles and appearing to share a laugh.
However, a source told PageSix: “If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he [Ben] would.”
“He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
Fuelling speculation, eagle-eyed fans spotted Jennifer liking a March 19th Instagram post about healthy relationships, which partly read: “You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves.”

Earlier this month, the songstress also attended the 2024 Met Gala, where she stunned in Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, without Ben – despite being one of the co-chairs for the event.
According to his rep, Ben was busy filming The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.
The couple, famously dubbed Bennifer, got back together in May 2021 – 17 years after they called off their engagement.
The pair broke up just three days before their wedding back in 2003.
In Jennifer’s new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, the singer and her now-husband recounted how things went wrong days before their planned nuptials.
The 54-year-old actress said: “Ben and I, we broke up three days before our wedding.”
“We had a big wedding planned — 14 ushers and bridesmaids, and three days before we just crumbled under the pressure.”
Affleck agreed, and told the cameras: “When Jen and I broke up before, the catalyst for that was the massive amount of scrutiny around our private life.”
The director of her new film Dave Meyers, recalled how Jennifer was during the tumultuous time: “When her and Ben first broke up, it was catastrophic to her constitution, everything that she wanted from what she understood love to be.”
“For that to not work, for the pressures to break it apart, it just spun her out.”
The Jenny From The Block singer agreed and said: “For all those years it was really hard, because I didn’t just feel like I lost the love of my life, I felt like I lost the best friend that I ever had.”
