The couple currently “don’t have any summer plans together,” a source tells PEOPLE.
According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are “focused on their separate lives” this summer due to marital discord.
According to a person close to Lopez, the pair “don’t have any summer plans together” at this time.
Lopez just got back to Los Angeles from her vacation in Europe. The actress “enjoyed her trip to Europe,” according to the insider, and “has more travel planned, but is back in L.A. for now.”
The Academy Award-winning director moved all of his belongings out of the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion before Lopez returned from her trip to Europe, a source previously told PEOPLE, more than a month after PEOPLE first revealed that Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, were living apart in Los Angeles as they dealt with marital discord.
Ben is still residing in the rented property in Brentwood. He has been there for the past two months, according to a different source. “He appears to be alright. He appears to be focused on his work and has been at his workplace every day. He is also interacting with his children.
After the Atlas actress returned from her trip, the couple got back together on June 26. They were seen going individually inside a West Hollywood building where they both have offices.
According to a source, Affleck and Lopez “remain friendly” and are concentrating on their careers and families despite the rumors regarding their romance. In a heartfelt Father’s Day homage, Lopez even posted a picture of Affleck, dubbed “our hero,” on her Instagram Story on June 16.
While Lopez shares her twins Emme and Max, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, Affleck is the father of three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
KEEPING HOWIE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
When it comes to Howie Mandel, the first thing that comes to mind is positivism and laughter.
According to IMDb, he started his career in showbiz by pure chance. A producer noticed him during an amateur night at the Comedy Store on the L.A. Sunset Strip during a vacation after his friends convinced him to try it out.
Today, Mandel is one of the most famous names in the world of entertainment. A TV celebrity, screenwriter, actor, producer, director, entrepreneur, and popular game show panelist/host, you name it, Mandel has tried it all and proved that he’s great in all of it.
Recently, however, he decided to open up about his mental state and confessed he’s been battling anxiety, ADHD, and OCD most of his life. The truth is that no one can really assume that someone as fun as Mandel could be going through such a thing.
“I’m living in a nightmare,” he declared. ” I work to ground myself. I love what I do and have a lovely family. However, I can also experience severe sadness from which I can never recover.”
This turned even worse during the COVID-19 pandemic when we were forced into lockdown. Mandel revealed to People magazine that there was no day the thought “we would die” didn’t cross his mind. But the fact that no one from his closest surrounding was affected gave him comfort.
Although he was diagnosed in his thirties, Mandal knows he had OCD and ADHD since forever. He, however, didn’t speak of his mental state openly because he believed it would affect his career. “My first reaction was that I’ve embarrassed my family,” he admitted. “Then I realized that nobody would hire someone who wasn’t stable. Those were my concerns.”
It was comedy that helped him during the toughest times in his life.
“My coping mechanism is finding the humorous,” he declared. “If I’m not smiling, I’m probably sobbing. And I’ve still held back on how horrible and dark it actually gets. In a way, comedy saved me. I feel very much at ease on stage. And when I have nothing to do, I retreat, which is not healthy
Mandel’s goal is to help raise awareness about mental illness and break the stigma.
