A source close to the Marry Me actress, 54, shared with Us Weekly that Affleck has felt “worn down” by their marriage, due to Lopez’s busy schedule.
Later, on May 31st, Live Nation announced that Lopez’s This Is Me… Live is canceled because she is “taking time off.”
Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Divorce Rumors Continue To Ramp Up Throughout 'Atlas' Press Tour
Divorce rumors about the pair, who have been married less than two years, started in recent weeks due to missed public appearances by the Justice League actor.
News later broke that he had moved out of the couple's shared $60M mansion and is now staying in a nearby rental. A source shared that the "rough patch" started months ago when Lopez's schedule began to fill up more.
Atlas, the sci-fi action film in which she held the lead role, was released just last week and her This Is Me... Live tour was supposed to begin in June, until the cancellation was announced this week.
The source explained that her busy schedule causes her to "overextend herself" and causes Affleck to feel "worn down."
The source shared that the couple is on "two completely different pages most of the time" and that the "honeymoon phase has worn off."
The Wedding Planner star has been under heat from fans for several weeks, being called "rude and nasty."
Photos of her and the Batman actor fighting and "often looking miserable" have also been circulated in the past weeks.
The source went on to share why we might be so aware of their quarrels.
"Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments," the source said.
Though most of the heat has been focused on the singer and actress, sources close to the couple still maintain that the decision to spend time apart was mutual and that they are "taking some time to work out whether or not the relationship is right for both of them."
Lopez posted a special message to her website, for her fans, after the tour cancellation was announced, saying she is "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends."
"I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down," Lopez's website reads. "Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary."
