Internet weighs in as source claims Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn't celebrate Mother's Day together

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck "did not celebrate Mother's Day together this year," a source close to JLo revealed to PEOPLE Magazine, as the couple continues to live separately due to marital challenges. 

They have been residing separately from each other since Lopez, 54, returned to Los Angeles from New York City, where she had been occupied with filming 'Kiss of the Spider Woman', promoting her upcoming movie 'Atlas', and co-chairing the 2024 Met Gala, which Affleck, 51, did not attend. 

Meanwhile, the actor has been busy filming a sequel to his 2016 movie 'The Accountant' in Los Angeles and recently appeared solo at Netflix’s May 5 live Roast of Tom Brady.

Jennifer Lopez shared heartfelt posts for her twins and her mother for Mother's Day

On Mother's Day, Lopez took to Instagram to celebrate her relationship with her children and her mother, Guadalupe "Lupe" Rodríguez.

In a heartfelt post, JLo shared a message to her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

"Thank you for giving me the privilege and gift to be your mother. The most beautiful blessing of my life. Every day I wake up and think what I can do to be a better mother to you," wrote the actress.

She continued, "I ask God to instinctually let me be able to feel what you need in every moment so I can guide you and love you in every way that I can, so I can show you by example what it is to be a loving, caring, conscious, good human to yourself and others."

"Lulu and Max, I am here FOREVER to support you, encourage you, to remind you of your greatness of your goodness and your limitless capability. You. Can. Do. Anything. You are brilliant and beautiful and worthy of love and all the beautiful things in life. If you ever learn one thing from me, let it be that. I love you beyond forever… And ever...," shared JLo, expressing her love.

In another post, Lopez paid tribute to her mother with a series of photos, reflecting on the sacrifices her mother made, and the joy she brought into their lives.

She wrote, "Happy Mother’s Day to my Mommy. As the years go by, I realize more and more the sacrifices you made of yourself and your dreams to give us the opportunity and strength to live our own."

"I love you and accept you for who you are. I appreciate all of the songs you sang and the dancing in the living room and all the stories you told where I would hang on every word and then cry from laughter at how you told them. Thank you for the joy that you instilled in me," expressed 'The Mother' actress. 

The singer further noted, "Your resilience and fearlessness lives within my bones and I am forever grateful for the beautiful times, and also for the inevitable difficult times as well. They make up our life and our relationship and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you just the way you are."

Despite their alleged separate lives, Lopez and Affleck were spotted together on Thursday, May 16 at an event for their children in Los Angeles. Although they arrived separately, both were seen wearing their wedding rings, and Affleck was seen driving them home afterward.

The actor shares three children, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Internet reacts to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spending Mother's Day apart

As Lopez and Affleck’s decision to spend Mother's Day apart came to light, fans and critics alike started sharing their perspectives on the pair's relationship dynamics.

One Facebook user commented, "She's too high maintenance which is why none of her relationships work out," echoing a sentiment shared by many others. Another added, "She is too much a diva; she doesn't know compromise. It's her way or the highway; she will never make it work with any guy."

A person expressed a more personal critique, writing, "She’s ALOT. Very unhappy and aging has her ALL messed up. All the money in the world and she cannot be truly happy in her own skin."

"Saw this coming from day 1. No one can stand being with her — not sure how she doesn't see that," declared someone else. An individual wondered, "She can't keep a man for some reason."
