Jennifer Lopez was again spotted stepping out alone in public amid reports that her marriage to Ben Affleck is facing issues. Lopez and Affleck are understood to have encountered a rough patch in their relationship as they "couldn't make it work" barely two years after tying the knot.
They were last seen together in New York about two months ago when they grabbed lunch at the time. The actor has reportedly moved out of their dream $60 million home and is "focusing on his work and his kids now."
Jennifer Lopez Pictured Alone Amid Divorce Rumors
The "Ain't Your Mama" crooner was recently seen heading out solo to a dance studio in Los Angeles as reports suggest her marriage to Affleck has hit the rocks.
Although Lopez was in the company of her crew, her recent public appearances without her husband have seemingly raised eyebrows. The Hollywood couple had never gone this long without being seen together since getting hitched almost two years ago.
They were last pictured together in March when they went for lunch at Cecconi on Easter Sunday.
For her latest public appearance, Lopez arrived at the LA dance studio in a casual look. She donned a cropped sweater, beige pants, and sneakers as she styled her honey-toned hair into a ponytail.
She previously sent rumor mills into overdrive when she appeared alone for her Met Gala co-chairing duties on May 6. She was also noticeably absent when the "Argo" actor attended Netflix's Tom Brady Roast Show the previous day.
Ben Affleck Moved Out Of Their Home
Lopez's solo outings may be due in part to the fact that Affleck has reportedly ditched living under the same roof with her.
In a conversation with InTouch, a source claimed that the 51-year-old actor moved out of their $60 million matrimonial home as they "just couldn't make it work."
"The writing is on the wall – it's over," the source stated, adding, "They're headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben's] not to blame!"
"He's focusing on his work and his kids now," the insider went on. "Ben already moved out and they'll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for."
"They'll never stop loving each other, but she can't control him, and he can't change her. There's no way it could have lasted," they added.
The tipster also said that Affleck "decided to call it quits" on his marriage to Lopez and has been working on his new movie, "The Accountant 2."
Jennifer Lopez Seemingly Strained Their Relationship With Her Documentary
According to the DailyMail, Lopez and Affleck's marriage seems to have been affected by the "Get Loud" singer's stance on publicly sharing details of their love story after she released her $20 million Amazon Prime documentary, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," in February.
Affleck is understood to be against the move after sharing his reservation about the scrutiny they once suffered when they were engaged to be married back in 2003.
The documentary, which chronicled Lopez's love story with Affleck, saw the actor vehemently complain about having such a public relationship.
The actor confessed, "Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media.' Then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask. It's sort of, like, you're going to marry a boat captain, and you go, 'Well, I don't want the water.' We're trying to learn to compromise."
Ben Affleck Was Not In Support Of The Singer Sharing Their Old Love Letters With Friends
Affleck was noticeably uncomfortable with Lopez sharing details of their old love letters with her friends and colleagues.
"Things that are private, I'd always felt are sacred and special because in part they're private," he stated, going on to confess that the whole thing "was something of an adjustment" for him.
Lopez even defiantly admitted that she didn't think her husband was "very comfortable with me doing this," but added that Affleck "doesn't want to stop me."
Jennifer Lopez Goes House Hunting
The "Hustlers" star seemingly confirmed reports that she and Affleck plan to sell their $60 million "Wallingford estate" after she was seen house hunting in Los Angeles yesterday.
Lopez kept it chic in an all-white ensemble as she strolled under sunny conditions, looking at new mega mansions in Beverly Hills.
She wore an oversized sweater, white pants, enormous hoop earrings, and white sneakers. The pop star completed her look with sunglasses that protected her eyes from the mild LA Sun.
Another woman dressed in black followed her closely as they highlighted the entrance of an opulent home they checked.
