Jennifer Lopez has been seen enjoying a sunny vacation in Italy, noticeably without her husband Ben Affleck, amid ongoing rumors of a potential split. The 54-year-old singer and actress was photographed in Positano, Italy, wearing a stylish tube top and high-waisted shorts, as she explored the picturesque resort town with a group of friends. The images, obtained by TMZ, show Lopez appearing relaxed and cheerful, despite the swirling rumors about her marriage.
Lopez’s Italian getaway comes shortly after the release of her latest Netflix film, “Atlas.” She was seen with several close friends, both on land and on a boat, as they sailed away from the resort. This trip follows months of speculation that Lopez and Affleck, who married in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, are facing marital issues. Despite presenting a united front in public, sources have suggested that the couple is struggling to make their relationship work.
In late May, a source close to the couple told ET that both Lopez and Affleck are aware of their problems and are trying to save their marriage. The source mentioned that while they don’t want to get divorced, their relationship is currently not working. They are reportedly living separate lives but have not officially separated. Another source added that they are doing their own thing and have not given up on their relationship yet.
Adding fuel to the rumors, Lopez and Affleck recently put their $60.8 million Beverly Hills mansion on the market, just 13 months after purchasing it. Despite the ongoing speculation, the couple has been seen together in public, often wearing their wedding rings. Lopez even posted a heartfelt tribute to Affleck on Father’s Day, calling him “our hero” on her Instagram Story.
Affleck, who shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was seen spending Father’s Day with Garner and their kids. Meanwhile, Lopez, who has 16-year-old twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, was not present. This separation on a significant family day has only intensified the rumors of a potential split.
Lopez’s decision to cancel her summer tour, citing a need to spend time with her children, family, and close friends, has also raised eyebrows. The tour’s cancellation came amidst the news of the couple’s efforts to sell their Beverly Hills home. Affleck has been staying at a rental home in Brentwood, California, and has been seen without his wedding ring on several occasions.
Despite the ongoing rumors, Lopez has maintained a positive public appearance. She recently shared a photo of Affleck from his “Pearl Harbor” film on Instagram, calling him “our hero” and wishing him a happy Father’s Day. However, sources close to the couple have indicated that Lopez is struggling with the state of her marriage. She is reportedly trying to make the best of her time by focusing on her career and her children.
The couple’s relationship has been a rollercoaster since they rekindled their romance and got married in 2022. They have been the subject of intense media scrutiny, with fans closely following their every move. Despite their efforts to keep their relationship private, the rumors of a potential split have continued to gain traction.
As Lopez enjoys her time in Italy, the future of her marriage to Affleck remains uncertain. While they have not officially separated, the couple is reportedly living separate lives and trying to navigate their issues. For now, Lopez seems to be taking a break from the drama, focusing on herself and her close friends in the beautiful surroundings of Italy.
