Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are taking separate paths following reports their marriage is over.
A source told People that the 55-year-old singer “hasn’t seen Ben for weeks.”
“They’re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh,” the source added.

Lopez has been spending time in New York City and the Hamptons, where she recently celebrated her birthday with friends and family but no husband.
Affleck has remained on the West Coast and was photographed without his wedding ring on Monday as he drove to a movie set in Los Angeles.
Th sighting coincides with Lopez landing back in Tinseltown after spending the past month in the Hamptons without Affleck.
Over the weekend, she shopped for a new Beverly Hills mansion sans wedding ring after she and Affleck listed their shared $68 million home last month. Affleck has acquired a $20.5 million home in Pacific Palisades for himself.

On Monday, a source told Page Six that Lopez is “furious” and embarrassed by the separation.
“He has humiliated her,” the insider detailed. “He was the one who initiated getting back together.”
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their relationship in July 2021, having previously dated from 2002 to 2004 after meeting on the set of the film “Gigli,” released in 2003.

They eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 before celebrating with a larger event at Affleck’s Georgia estate the following month.
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” the source spilled. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”

Signs of trouble in paradise initially surfaced in May when sources revealed that they were living separately.
Despite appearing united at family events, Affleck and Lopez marked their second wedding anniversary on different coasts last month, heightening separation rumors.

“There are five kids involved in this,” the source continued. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
Lopez has twins — Max and Emme, 16 — from her marriage to singer Marc Anthony. Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
According to TMZ, Affleck and Lopez are no longer in contact as their business managers hash out the details of their divorce.
Affleck is reportedly holding off on officially filing for divorce to spare Lopez from suffering more embarrassment at the present time.
