The "Jenny From The Block" singer's marriage to Affleck has been embroiled in breakup rumors for the past few months, especially due to their rare public sightings after initially going 47 days without being seen together.

According to a source who spoke to Fox News, Lopez and Affleck are now heading for their second split as they are done trying to make it work.

"They are not getting back together," the insider claimed. "They have no plans to announce that they aren't a couple right now. JLo wanted to make it work really badly, he's just a different person to her now."

Although Lopez and Affleck continue to remain mute on the rumors surrounding the state of their relationship, a source previously speculated that it may be because of the public attention that was drawn to their marriage due to Lopez's films, "This Is Me… Now: A Love Story" and "The Greatest Love Story Never Told."

It turns out that the "Ain't Your Mama" crooner may have been too much for Affleck to handle, as an insider recently told OK! Magazine that she brought "too much drama" into the "Deep Water" actor's life.

The insider noted that Lopez was the actor's "dream woman," but the alleged breakdown of their marriage has upset him.

"Jennifer was Ben's dream woman," the source told the news outlet. "It was drama all the time. He's feeling down about it and is upset and depressed it didn't work out, even though he knows ending it is the right thing to do."

The insider went further to note that their lifestyle differences also played a significant part in their marital woes as Lopez has a "big entourage that follows her around daily," something that Affleck is reportedly not comfortable with.

"She's tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job," the source explained. "She is her brand, she lives and breathes it while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to. Jennifer's keeping her head up. She doesn't want to be seen as the villain."

Another source told the news outlet that the pair "have gone through phases where things haven't been as great between them due to their different personalities and not getting enough time together."

"They're not always on the same page. They both have so much going on between taking care of their families and their work commitments and it can be a lot for them," they quipped.
