This week, Jennifer Lopez was spotted exuding happiness as she embarked on a getaway to the picturesque Positano, Italy, sans her husband Ben Affleck.
The pop sensation, often referred to as “Jenny from the Block,” was captured in vibrant photos donning a $99 white one-piece swimsuit while enjoying a boat ride with friends.
This cheerful outing comes at a time when whispers of potential marital troubles have begun to circulate.
Lopez and Affleck, famously dubbed “Bennifer,” first sparked romance in the early 2000s, dating from 2002 to 2004.
Their relationship saw its fair share of ups and downs, culminating in a broken engagement in 2004.
Both went on to marry other partners—Lopez with Marc Anthony and Affleck with Jennifer Garner.
However, the couple reignited their love in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, blending their families in the process.
Together, they share five children: Affleck’s three kids—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—with Garner, and Lopez’s twins, Emma and Max, from her marriage to Anthony.
Yet, recent reports suggest that their seemingly picture-perfect family life may be facing challenges.
An insider revealed that Affleck has been grappling with his feelings about their relationship, hinting at a sense of disillusionment.
According to sources close to the actor, he has been open to therapy but finds the entire experience somewhat uncomfortable.
A source shared with Page Six that if there were a way to end the marriage due to “temporary insanity,” Affleck might consider it, indicating a deep level of frustration.
He reportedly feels as though the past two years have been surreal, leading him to question the viability of their union.
Adding fuel to the fire, footage from Lopez’s Prime Video documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” has resurfaced, revealing some of the underlying tensions between the couple.
In the documentary, Affleck expressed his desire to keep their relationship off social media, stating, “I don’t want a relationship broadcast on the internet.” His remarks suggest a conflict between Lopez’s enthusiasm for sharing moments online and his preference for privacy.
In stark contrast, the vacation snapshots show Lopez embracing her love for social media, capturing joyful moments with her friends.
Sporting heeled sandals and oversized sunglasses, she looked radiant in her figure-hugging swimsuit, embodying glamour and carefree spirit.
It’s clear that she is enjoying her time away, which raises eyebrows about the state of her marriage.
