Rumors of a split have dogged the couple off and on for years, but this time, sources say, there may be something to them. "Where there's smoke, there's fire," one insider shares in the new issue. "The marriage is in trouble."

It has been for some time, too. According to a second source, the Gone Girl star, 42, and the Dallas Buyers Club actress, 43, "have had problems from the very beginning." Among their biggest issues? Affleck's "workaholic" nature and "many vices."
