With the few exceptions of celebrities who have stayed together for years and are still going strong, most Hollywood marriages eventually end up in divorce, and the public is always eager to learn more when A-list couples start to separate. Recently, the media has been obsessed with the relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who tied the knot in July 2022 following a second engagement.
Rumors of Trouble in Paradise
Amid rumors of their split, photos of Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner have gone viral, heating the speculations even further. The former couple has been seen together in Santa Monica, which has stirred up various reactions on social media. Some fans of Lopez have expressed their displeasure, with one person calling Garner “a dаngеrous, obsessed woman, using kids to control a weak man, one with addiction and depression issues.”
Another fan added, “I’m happy Affleck and Garner split because him being unhappy with her was the reason for his alcohol addiction.”
However, others fondly remember the days when Affleck and Garner were together. “Ben and Garner are the real ‘Bennifer.’ They belong together with their kids but Ben is a fool,” one commenter nostalgically remarked.

Co-Parenting and Moving On
The reality is that Affleck and Garner have remained friends who co-parent their children effectively. They have been seen hugging on occasion, dressed casually during their outings. Affleck was spotted in blue jeans, a gray long-sleeved top, and white Air-Jordan Nikes, while Garner opted for gray slacks, a long-sleeved black top, and sunglasses.
Interestingly, it appears that Garner and Lopez also get along well. A source close to them described their relationship as “very cordial and very healthy and functioning.”
Garner, who has entered a new relationship following her divorce from Affleck, is reportedly happy with her current family dynamics. A source close to her stated, “Garner is in a great space and feels good about where things currently stand with her new family dynamics.” The source also added that Affleck and Garner “have open communication and both are working to make this transition the best it could possibly be.”

Affleck’s Professional Success
While many believe that Affleck’s personal life is falling apart, his professional life is thriving. In August, the film he co-produces and stars in, “The Instigators,” will be released. This serves as a reminder that despite the turbulence in his personal relationships, Affleck continues to find success in his career.
In the world of Hollywood, where relationships are often under the microscope, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and Jennifer Lopez are navigating their personal dynamics while maintaining their professional commitments. Their ability to co-parent effectively and sustain cordial relationships amidst rumors and public scrutiny is commendable.

Lisa Marie Presley kept her son Benjamin’s body at home for two months after he passed away.
Lisa Marie Presley was so devastated by the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, that she kept his body in her home for two months after he passed away. She even invited a tattoo artist to see him so she could get matching tattoos.
This is just one of many surprising details in Lisa Marie’s new memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was completed by her daughter, actress Riley Keough, after Lisa Marie passed away in January 2023.

In her book, Lisa Marie shared that she had to fight to stay alive for her other children, Riley and her twin daughters Harper and Finley, who are now 16. She didn’t say goodbye to Benjamin right away because she was torn between burying him in Hawaii or at Graceland, the Memphis estate where Elvis, her father, is buried.

Lisa Marie kept the room at 55 degrees to preserve Benjamin’s body and got so used to caring for him and having him there.
Riley and Lisa Marie decided to honor Benjamin by getting tattoos like his. Benjamin had his sister’s name on his collarbone and his mom’s name on his hand. Riley had her brother’s name tattooed on her collarbone, and a tattoo artist was called to Lisa Marie’s home to add Benjamin’s name to her hand. When the artist asked if they had photos of Benjamin’s tattoos to match the font and placement, Lisa Marie said, “No, but I can show you.”

Riley writes: “Lisa Marie Presley had just asked this poor man to look at her dead son, who was right next to us in the guest house. I’ve had a very strange life, but this moment is one of the weirdest.”
Lisa Marie also knew it was strange. She said, “I think it would scare the heck out of anyone else to have their son there like that. But not me.”

Soon after the tattoo day, Riley remembers that everyone felt like Benjamin wanted to be laid to rest.
Even Lisa Marie said she could feel him communicating with her, saying, “This is crazy, Mom, what are you doing? What the heck!”
The family held a funeral for Benjamin in Malibu, and New Age author Deepak Chopra led the ceremony. Riley said she had to keep her eyes closed the whole time because she was struggling to cope with everything.

Benjamin was buried at Graceland, next to Elvis, and Lisa Marie would later be buried there too.
Riley writes a lot about her brother’s struggles with mental health and how he often went on drinking binges. She doesn’t believe he truly wanted to die.
After his death, she and her mom went through his phone, looking for answers.

Riley writes, “We found a text he sent to my mom a couple of weeks before he died that said, ‘I think something’s wrong with me mentally. I think I have a mental health issue.’ It’s heartbreaking to me that he only realized he might need help just two weeks before he took his own life.”
