According to People Magazine, Lopez has started making plans on how to spend the summer despite her much-talked-about marital troubles.

The "Atlas" star has been married to fellow actor Ben Affleck since July 2022, but the duo now seem to be headed toward divorce due to differences, the likes of which are still being speculated about.

The couple is reported to be living apart already, hinting that Lopez might be making solo plans for her summer.

If this is so, it only further illuminates the fact that Lopez and Affleck's relationship is quite strained, as the "Marry Me" star had spent previous summer vacations visiting places like France and Italy with the "Gone Girl" actor.

The singer then ended the write-up with a message of gratitude to her followers and declared that she had much love for them.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all so much," Lopez added, per the Daily Mail.

In the meantime, Lopez and Affleck have yet to address rumors of their relationship being on the verge of a divorce.

However, that has not stopped sources from speculating about the possible reasons why the duo might be ending their marriage.

According to TMZ, some experts have claimed that Lopez is a "love addict" with a need to "have a man in her life constantly."

They believe the actress never took enough "alone time" between relationships. Without taking time to reflect, it was unlikely she ever figured out what went wrong in her past relationships, making it seemingly impossible for her next relationship to "work and endure."

A film source told People that despite Affleck's involvement in "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," he's never been entirely comfortable with publicly showcasing his relationship. The insider noted that the "Deep Water" actor respects Lopez's artistic identity and doesn't want to hinder her.

"He's always been impressed about how she works so hard and has achieved so much success," the source shared. "But the openness and promotion is not his way."

The insider also added that the "Hustlers" actress sometimes gets frustrated with Affleck's lack of structure and discipline, which "causes frustration."

"I don't know if they will split or if this is something they will work through," the source said.

"There have always been clashes in their styles and how they handle issues, but nothing has stopped their love over the years," a music source shared with the news outlet.
