Jennifer Lopez is reportedly taking proactive steps to manage a potential split from her husband, Ben Affleck. As rumors about their marital troubles continue to swirl, insiders reveal that Lopez is enlisting the help of a crisis PR team to navigate the public scrutiny that may accompany their separation, according to reports from In Touch.
The couple's relationship, once celebrated as the epitome of second chances, is now rumored to be on shaky ground. Speculation about an imminent divorce has been fueled by multiple sources, suggesting that Lopez is preparing for the worst while ensuring that her career remains unaffected.
Insiders suggest that Lopez is poised to engage the services of renowned divorce attorney Laura Wasser if a divorce becomes inevitable. Wasser has previously represented both Lopez and Affleck in their past separations. An unnamed source disclosed to In Touch, "Laura was the divorce lawyer who mediated Ben's divorce with Jennifer Garner, and she represented J. Lo in her divorce with Marc Anthony. So there's history on both sides."
Despite the ongoing rumors and dismal sales for her upcoming tour, Lopez was recently seen heading into a dance studio in Los Angeles, looking energetic and excited to rehearse. Sporting a pair of oversized pants and a cropped sweatshirt that accentuated her abs, the 54-year-old "This Is Me...Now" singer caught even more attention by proudly displaying her simple wedding band. This has brought some relief to fans, suggesting there might still be hope for the couple.
However, the rumors of trouble in the high-profile Hollywood couple's marriage are incessant. Multiple sources revealed they hadn't been spotted together in public for two months. During this period, both stars appeared solo at various events. Jennifer attended the Met Gala and rehearsed for her tour, while Ben was seen attending Tom Brady's Netflix roast and filming scenes for his upcoming role in "The Accountant 2."
Further fueling the speculation, reports emerged that Ben had vacated their residence. There were sightings of him driving to and from a different property, and TMZ bolstered these claims with images of him leaving a house in Brentwood, where he purportedly stayed for a week following his alleged departure from their shared home.
Per the latest report by Page Six, Affleck reportedly cannot see how their marriage is going to work. According to an exclusive report from the outlet, sources indicate that Ben Affleck has had a realization about the state of his relationship with Lopez, acknowledging that their marriage is faltering and heading towards divorce. "If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would," the insider shared. "He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he's come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work."
While the future of their relationship remains uncertain, Lopez's proactive steps indicate her determination to maintain her professional commitments and manage her public image effectively. The singer and actress, who has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including Grammys and MTV Music Awards, is also known for her resilience and ability to bounce back from personal setbacks.
Lopez and Affleck's relationship has been a rollercoaster ride for both fans and the couple themselves. They famously rekindled their romance after nearly two decades apart, much to the delight of their supporters. However, the pressures of maintaining a high-profile relationship in the public eye have proven to be challenging.
As Lopez prepares for her upcoming world tour, she remains focused on her career and personal goals. Her commitment to her craft and her ability to handle personal challenges with grace and determination continue to make her a formidable presence in the entertainment industry.
