ITALY: Jennifer Lopez's recent solo getaway to Italy has set the internet abuzz with rumors about her marriage to Ben Affleck, as reported by OK Magazine.

The singer and actress, known for her strategic and independent nature, reportedly took the trip to find clarity amidst marital tensions. Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggests this time apart could be a sign of underlying conflicts.

"They have been spending more time apart lately, with Ben even moving back into his own place," Alderson noted. "This separation might indicate they are dealing with significant issues that need resolution."

While Lopez, 54, enjoyed the Italian sun, Affleck, 51, remained in Los Angeles. Alderson believes this physical distance might benefit their relationship in the long run. "Time apart allows for individual growth and self-reflection, which can ultimately strengthen the bond," she explained. "It also provides an opportunity to miss each other and value the time spent together even more."

Rumors about the couple's strained relationship surfaced last month, with insiders pointing to their hectic schedules and differing lifestyles as sources of friction. Despite these challenges, Lopez is reportedly hopeful about rekindling their connection. An insider mentioned, "Jennifer is still clinging to the possibility that they can turn things around."

Contrary to Lopez's optimism, sources close to Affleck suggest he is ready to move on. "The divorce is happening; it’s just a question of timing," one source revealed. "Ben wants a life of serenity and peace, and leaving this roller coaster behind will be a relief."

Despite the brewing tension, Lopez publicly honored Affleck on Father's Day, calling him "our hero," indicating a desire to maintain a positive relationship for the sake of their children.

The internet has erupted with reactions following relationship expert Louella Alderson's assertion that Jennifer Lopez's solo trip to Italy might help her decide the future of her troubled marriage with Ben Affleck. Here's what some users had to say:

One user commented, "Seems she wanted to get out of the U.S. because she's so humiliated by this second failure with Ben! I mean people are really tearing her up. Maybe she'll learn something from all of this, hopefully. I really hope Jennifer learns to love herself and be ok with being alone."

Another remarked, "The final nail would have been when he moved out. Everything else has just been filling in time while the lawyers hash out the details. The divorce will be announced while she’s in Europe. The greatest rebound marriage that should have just been a fling ever told."

Others empathized with the public nature of their relationship struggles. "Anyone that has been through a marriage breakup will know it is quite devastating. For it to be played out in public even worse. He does not like the attention and she craves it. Sadly, even though it was a great love story, maybe it’s not meant to be."

However, some users were critical of Lopez's priorities. "JLo has always been more married to her career than to any of her husbands. How much meaningful time could she ever spend with her husbands or children? She is too busy with her many projects and looking in the mirror," said one user.

Another user pointed out a discrepancy in Lopez's statements: "She said she was canceling the tour to spend more time with family."
