Rumors of a possible divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck heightened on Wednesday, following sightings of the couple at therapy sessions and Ben’s obvious move out of their shared home.
However, the most telling signal of their disturbed relationship came on Friday, when the On The Floor crooner liked a cryptic message on Instagram, hinting at a difficult time with Affleck.
The post reads: “You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity and emotional safety.”
The Marry Me star’s fans were stunned and saddened by the apparent signs of marital troubles, with many assuming an imminent divorce.
TMZ confirmed that the Hypnotic star is no longer residing at Lopez’s home, fueling the speculation.
However, in a surprising turn of events, the singer-songwriter was spotted at a Los Angeles dance studio on Thursday, still wearing her wedding ring, despite appearing unenthused by the paparazzi’s presence.
This deliberate display of her ring suggests a message was being conveyed.
While the In Touch Weekly report claims the couple has split and is heading for divorce, this remains uncertain.
Lopez’s documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, touches on how the couple’s constant publicity affected their relationship. In the documentary, the Dear Ben singer mentions that Affleck was not comfortable being part of the documentary, but he did it out of love for her.
Affleck said in the documentary: ‘Getting back together, I said, “Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.” Then I sort of realized 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.’
