Lopez, of course, has also been going through the wringer when it comes to alleged marital strife. She and Affleck — whom she wed in 2022 after reuniting nearly 20 years after their initial romance in the early 2000s — have reportedly been living apart as they find themselves at odds within their relationship.
“She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world,” a source told of Lopez earlier this month. “He is more introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day.”
According to an Entertainment Tonight source, in her personal life and career. “She has been throwing herself into work, which has always been an outlet for her to stay busy and distracted.”
As the pair continue to do their own things career-wise — Lopez has been flying solo for Atlas promo, while Affleck has been filming The Accountant 2 — they have also been photographed amid the alleged drama, even holding hands (while appearing tense) at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s recent high school graduation celebrations.
In addition to the cancellation of Lopez’s summer tour, there is talk that due to poor ticket sales.
