Jennifer Lopez is enjoying a solo vacation in Italy, sparking further speculation about her relationship with Ben Affleck. The singer and actress was seen in Positano, a picturesque village on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, without her husband.
Photos and videos obtained by TMZ show Lopez, 54, looking radiant in a yellow bandeau top, matching shorts, and a jacket. She was accompanied by friends as they made their way to a boat, soaking up the sun and the stunning coastal views.
This Italian getaway comes just days after Lopez paid tribute to Affleck on Father’s Day. She posted a throwback photo of him on her Instagram Story, calling him “Our hero” and wishing him a happy Father’s Day. Despite this public display of affection, Affleck spent the day with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children.
Rumors of a split have been circulating for weeks. The couple, who married in July 2022, are reportedly selling their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion. Sources claim they are living separately, with Affleck staying in a rental home in Brentwood.
Insiders have told various outlets that the couple is “not officially separated yet” but are “living separate lives.” One source mentioned that they entered the relationship with high hopes, but things haven’t changed as they expected.
Lopez’s solo vacation and Affleck’s absence from recent events have only fueled the rumors. The “Atlas” star attended the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie without Affleck, although she was seen wearing a ring on her left hand.
Affleck, 51, has been spotted without his wedding ring on several occasions. He has also been seen house-hunting around Los Angeles, further suggesting that the couple might be heading for a split.
Despite the rumors, Lopez appears to be making the best of her time. She is focusing on her career and her twins, Max and Emme, who are 16 years old. A source close to her mentioned that she has done everything she could to save the marriage but feels it’s not getting any better.
Affleck, on the other hand, has been candid about his discomfort with public attention. In a recent interview with Kevin Hart, he explained that he doesn’t like being photographed, especially when he’s with his children. This has led to the “Sad Affleck” memes that circulate online.
While neither Lopez nor Affleck has publicly commented on the breakup rumors, their actions speak volumes. Lopez recently “liked” an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships, adding more fuel to the fire.
The couple first got engaged in the early 2000s but called it off before rekindling their romance in April 2021. They eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 and had a lavish ceremony a month later at Affleck’s Georgia estate.
As Lopez enjoys her time in Italy, fans are left wondering what the future holds for the couple. For now, it seems they are both focusing on their individual lives and careers.
