Reports that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage is having problems have led to her being spotted out in public alone once more. It's believed that Lopez and Affleck went through a difficult phase in their relationship, as they "couldn't make it work" just two years after getting married.
About two months ago, they went out to lunch together in New York, where they were last spotted together. According to reports, the actor is "focusing on his work and his kids now" after moving out of their gorgeous $60 million home.
The "Ain't Your Mama" crooner was spotted leaving alone to visit a dance studio in Los Angeles recently, and rumours are circulating that her marriage to Affleck is in trouble.
Despite being accompanied by her entourage, Lopez's recent public appearances without her spouse have apparently drawn attention. The Hollywood pair had not been spotted together for this long since they were married nearly two years ago.
When they went to Cecconi for lunch on Easter Sunday in March, it was the last time we saw them together.
Lopez showed up at the LA dance studio for her most recent public appearance wearing a casual outfit. She pulled her honey-toned hair into a ponytail and wore sneakers, beige pants, and a cropped sweater.
She previously caused the rumours to explode when she showed up by herself on May 6 for her co-chairing duties for the Met Gala. The "Argo" actor did not show up for Netflix's Tom Brady Roast Show the day before either.
Lopez's solitary travels might be partially caused by the rumor that Affleck has given up sharing a residence with her.
The 51-year-old actor reportedly moved out of their $60 million marital residence because they "just couldn't make it work," according to a source who spoke with InTouch.
The insider said, "The writing is on the wall—it's over," and that "for once, [Ben's] not at fault! They're going to get divorced."
The insider continued, "He's focusing on his work and his kids now." "They'll probably have to sell the dream house they've been looking for for the past two years since Ben moved out."
"They will always be in love, but neither she nor he can make the other stop loving the other. It couldn't have continued in any way," they continued.
Affleck "decided to call it quits" on his marriage to Lopez, according to the tipster, and has been focusing on his latest film, "The Accountant 2."
After Lopez released her $20 million Amazon Prime documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," in February, the "Get Loud" singer's stance on publicly disclosing the details of their love story appears to have had an impact on Affleck and Lopez's marriage, according to the DailyMail.
Affleck is reportedly opposed to the change after disclosing his misgivings regarding the attention they received during their 2003 engagement.
In the documentary that followed Lopez and Affleck's romance, the actor angrily bemoaned their public relationship.
The actor said, "Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media," after they got back together. Then I started to realize that asking isn't really fair. You're going to marry a boat captain, and you say, "Well, I don't want the water," or something like that. We're attempting to develop our ability to compromise."
When Lopez revealed to her friends and coworkers the specifics of their old love letters, Affleck became visibly uncomfortable.
He said, "I'd always felt that things that are private are sacred and special because they're private in part," adding that he found the entire experience to be "something of an adjustment."
Affleck "doesn't want to stop me," Lopez said, defiantly acknowledging that she didn't think her husband was "very comfortable with me doing this."
The "Hustlers" actress, who was spotted yesterday house hunting in Los Angeles, appeared to corroborate rumors that she and Affleck intend to sell their $60 million "Wallingford estate."
Lopez looked stylish as she strolled through sunny Beverly Hills, admiring the new mega-mansions. She was dressed all in white.
She had on a huge hoop necklace, white pants, white sneakers, and an oversized sweater. Sunglasses shielding her eyes from the mild LA sun completed the pop star's ensemble.
She was closely followed by a second woman in all black as they pointed to the front door of a lavish house they were inspecting.
