Jennifer Lopez fuels Ben Affleck break-up rumours as she 'likes' cryptic post
Jennifer Lopez has fuelled further speculation regarding her and her husband Ben Affleck’s rumoured rift by ‘liking’ a cryptic social media post.
The On the Floor hitmaker, 54, and Ben, 51, made headlines earlier this week when an alleged insider report claimed they were ‘headed for divorce’.
The source apparently told InTouch that ‘bigger issues’ had torn the pair apart and that they just ‘couldn’t make it work’.

TMZ also claims that the couple, who tied the knot in 2022, haven’t been photographed in public together since March.
On May 6, father-of-three Ben caused a fresh stir within fans when he opted out of joining his wife on the Met Gala red carpet - an event she was a co-chair for.
However, a rep for the Air actor confirmed to NewsNation that this was because he was filming the Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.
In recent weeks, J-Lo has also been spotted house-hunting in the City of Angels - without her husband.
Following the wave of split rumours, an Instagram account has revealed that Jennifer recently ‘liked’ a post relating to unhealthy relationships.
Lenna Marsak, a coach and therapist, took to her Instagram stories to reveal she’d received the thumbs up from the star’s official account on Thursday (May 16).
The post in question, shared on March 19, features various reasons why ‘you cannot build a healthy relationship with someone’.
These include people who ‘lack integrity and emotional safety’, those who ‘don’t respect your time’ and significant others who favour the ‘silent treatment’.
Following Lenna revealing Jennifer’s Instagram activity, the woman took to her Stories to plead with her 7,459 followers to ‘be kind’.
In a quick clip, she said: “Please be kind to Jennifer Lopez because she is a human being. I do not know if they are getting divorced, I hope not.”
The Shotgun Wedding actress and her husband initially met in 2002 whilst working on the set of their movie, Gigli.
At the time, Jennifer was married to her second husband Cris Judd, 54, but went public with Ben soon after her divorce.
Months after meeting, the pair revealed they were engaged but eventually called it quits in January 2004.
The pair remained on good terms following their split, with Ben later tying the knot with Elektra star Jennifer Garner and J-Lo saying ‘I do’ to four-time Grammy Award winner Marc Anthony.
Following the breakdown of both of their marriages, the duo officially rekindled their romance in April 2021 and became engaged for the second time a year later.
In July 2022, the two finally tied the knot in Las Vegas and later enjoyed a romantic honeymoon in Italy.
In the Let’s Get Loud singer’s new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, she admitted her demands for giving the Good Will Hunting star another shot.
She said: “Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realised it’s not a fair thing to ask.
"It’s sort of, like, you’re going to marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re trying to learn to compromise.”
