Jennifer Lopez's mom, Guadalupe Rodríguez, allegedly can't wait for her daughter to be done with Ben Affleck.
According to reports, she believes the singer is losing sight of herself as rumors of her troubled marriage to Affleck continue to make headlines.
Jennifer Lopez's mother now wants her to "cut her losses" and move on rather than dig a hole further for herself by remaining in her marriage to Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez's Mom Feels She 'Wasted Years' Believing Ben Affleck Was A 'Knight In Shining Armor'
Reports of Lopez and Affleck being on the brink of ending their marriage have trended for weeks, with many expecting a divorce to come in the next few months.
Lopez's mom, Rodriguez, is seemingly one of those anticipating the split and has allegedly advised her daughter to jump off the sinking ship of her marriage.
"Jennifer's mom told her, 'Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess,'" an insider dished to the Daily Mail.
According to the source, Rodriguez also told the Hollywood star that "she's wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor, seemingly referencing her daughter's decision to marry Affleck after their first failed engagement.
The insider added, "He was not the person she built him up to be. It's taken too much of a toll on her, and because of this, she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for."
Jennifer Lopez's Sisters Allegedly Share The Same Concerns As Their Mother
Lopez's sisters, Leslie Ann and Lynda, are said to also be unhappy about their sister's troubled marriage and agree with their mother that she has "lost sight of who she is."
"Jennifer currently feels like Ben does not deserve her, and her sisters agree," the insider continued. "They want Jennifer to be happy, of course, but they feel their sister is getting so caught up in what it was supposed to be that she isn't seeing it for what it is now."
While it is still uncertain who would make the first move to file a divorce between Affleck and Lopez, the source shared that Lopez's sister is pushing for her to initiate.
They want her to "focus on her kids and career" instead of prolonging breaking up with Affleck, who they believe "would rather throw in the towel than actually just try to fix things."
The Singer Is 'Heartbroken' That Her Marriage Is 'Completely Over'
Close sources to Lopez have revealed that the actress is down in the dumps about her split from Affleck.
The "Atlas" star, who recently returned from a trip to Italy, seems to have given up on any hope of reconciliation and is "heartbroken" that a divorce might happen soon.
"The marriage is completely over, and Jennifer is heartbroken," an insider told Fox News about Lopez. "She loves love and wanted this to work so badly."
Meanwhile, it appears that Affleck has taken a tough-guy approach to the breakup, choosing to focus on work and his children rather than mourn.
An insider revealed about the "Accountant" actor, "He's been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He's also spending time with his kids."
The Couple Spent The Fourth Of July Apart
Lopez celebrated the Fourth of July far away from her husband and their marital troubles.
According to People Magazine, the entertainer was in the Hamptons, hanging out with her manager, Benny Medina, and other close pals.
Lopez, donning a stylish Dior tote bag, was spotted shopping for plants and wearing her wedding ring, which she recently ditched in a video clip shared on her beauty brand's Instagram page.
While Lopez was having fun in the Hamptons, Affleck spent time with his children in Los Angeles.
The "Good Will Hunting" star was spotted with two of his kids on Wednesday while flaunting his wedding band, which he has also been seen not wearing on multiple occasions.
