Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s chance of reconciling romance seems ‘slim’ amid looming divorce: source
A reconciliation between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seems slimmer by the day amid ongoing divorce rumors, a source exclusively tells Page Six.
An insider close to the couple tells us that, while the singer remains “smitten” with her husband, she has embarked on a summer of “health, happiness and joy” for herself and her family.
“Nothing can break her spirit,” the source adds. “She wants to have a summer full of fun and laughter.”

Earlier this month, Page Six reported that their marriage has been “over for months” and Lopez seemingly confirmed that as she posted a clip of her 2021 music video for “Cambia el Paso” on Instagram Sunday.
The empowering tune features the lyrics, translated from Spanish to English, “Her life is better now without him … She doesn’t need anyone to be well / She does not fail, she does not fail.”
Lopez then asserts, “He doesn’t deserve to have her in his arms.”

The update comes as Lopez, 54, continues to enjoy the summer without Affleck, 51, despite the two still wearing their wedding rings.
Over the July 4th weekend, she was spotted looking happy and carefree while enjoying a bike ride with her longtime pal and vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, in the Hamptons, N.Y. She was also seen shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and out and about with her child Emme.
And in June, she jetted off to Italy, where she was seen lounging on a boat in a skimpy swimsuit.

Nonetheless, multiple sources tell us that Lopez who has continuously called the Oscar winner the love of her life still feels the same way.
We’re told by another source that, amid the rumored split, Lopez has been spending a lot of time with her twins, Emme and Max, 16.
“When they’re not at their summer activities she’s with them,” the source tells us.
Meanwhile, Affleck has reportedly moved his belongings out of their Beverly Hills home and has been living in a Brentwood, Calif., rental.

He was also seen spending plenty of time with his three kids — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12 — this summer and as recently as the Fourth of July weekend.
Back in February, Lopez gushed about their reunion and July 2022 marriage.
“I fell in love with the love of my life [earlier in life] and for whatever reasons, we needed to grow and do other things,” she said on Australia’s “Kyle and Jackie O Radio Show.”
“We both went off and had children with other people and other relationships, but you know in my mind I kind of had it like, ‘Oh, that was kind of the one.’”

Lopez added that it wasn’t until she felt “good on [her] own” that the timing was right for her and Affleck.
“That’s when the universe kind of opened up to me and was like, ‘OK, now you’re ready,’” she explained. “I couldn’t believe it and I don’t think he could either. It’s not something we ever planned. We really had moved on with our lives but when we reconnected, it was almost instant and we just knew.”
Lopez shares her twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony while Affleck shares his children with Jennifer Garner.
Reps for both Affleck and Lopez were unavailable for comment.
