Jennifer Lopez has been spotted holidaying alone amid rumours of a breakup with husband Ben Affleck,
54-year-old hitmaker J Lo and 51-year-old Good Will Hunting star Ben Affleck cemented their status as a power couple when tying the knot in 2022, after a long separation.
The duo first dated in the 2000s, and he even starred in her 'Jenny From The Block' music video.
After their dramatic split, Lopez married Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Garner, and the two share three children; Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Despite the pair rekindling their romance, rumours of a split and impending divorce have been swirling for months.
Affleck's notable absence from the Met Gala red carpet alongside his wife added fuel to the fire, given that they've done many carpets together and this specific event was one Lopez was a co-chair for.
The Hustlers actress was also noted to have 'liked' a very cryptic Instagram post about 'toxic relationships' that outlined people who you ‘cannot build a healthy relationship’ with.
It included people who ‘lack integrity and emotional safety’, those who ‘don’t respect your time’ and significant others who favour the ‘silent treatment’.
And now, Lopez has been seen holidaying alone.
On Tuesday, 18 June, J Lo was papped with a huge smile on her face as she soaked up the sun while on a boat in Italy.
This trip without Affleck follows a source telling PEOPLE that she has "been making plans to travel this summer, amid strain in her marriage with Affleck."
It has also been reported that the married couple have put their Beverly Hills home up for sale. They bought it for $61 million in 2023.
However, on Father's Day (16 June), Lopez posted a picture of Affleck and wrote: "Our hero".
This comes after things appeared to reach boiling point during Lopez's press tour for her Netflix film Atlas.
Amid a press conference about the sci-fi flick, a reporter directly asked: "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumours? What is the truth? Para le press le Mexicana [for the Mexican press], what is the truth of the situation?”
Lopez's co-star Simu Liu didn't skip a beat.
He rushed in to say: "Ok, we’re not doing that. Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate it. Thank you.”
Lopez herself then leaned forward and chided: "You know better than that.”
Simu then said: "Don’t come in with that energy please. If I could just end on one thing.
"Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I am here and why Sterling [K Brown] was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares. And Jen cares about things like representation and diversity, and she’s a boss.”
