‘Our hero’: Jennifer Lopez shares Father’s Day tribute to Ben Affleck amid marital rumours

Jennifer Lopez has paid a surprising Father’s Day tribute to husband Ben Affleck amid speculation about the state of their marriage. Rumours have been swirling that the couple’s relationship is under pressure and they could be heading for divorce after almost two years of marriage. The Hollywood couple, who were previously engaged before a high-profile split in 2004, got married in July 2022. Sharing a black and white throwback photo of Affleck on her Instagram story, she wrote on Instagram: “Our hero. Happy Father’s Day.” She added a white heart emoji but noticeably didn’t tag him in the post. Affleck is father to three children to actress ex-wife Jennifer Garner – Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. He is also a stepdad to Lopez’s twins Max and Emme, 16, whom Lopez – who has been married four times – she shares with third husband, musician Marc Anthony. Lopez and Affleck enjoyed a very high-profile reunion following Lopez’s split from Alex Rodriguez and tied the knot in Las Vegas before a second wedding in Georgia. Their relationship is the subject of her independently produced film The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Reports of marital strain come as Lopez cancelled her This Is Me… Live tour dates in the US, weeks before it was scheduled to start. The tour was initially in support of her ninth studio album This Is Me… Now and was set to kick off in Orlando on June 26. At the time, Live Nation said: “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck through the years
