Spending time away from your spouse when there are ongoing rumors of there being trouble in paradise might make a lot of people stressed and anxious – but Jennifer Lopez seemed to be the complete opposite!
According to reports, the 54-year-old multihyphenate didn’t seem fazed by the ongoing marital woes rumors, and looked “happy and peaceful” over the Fourth of July weekend, which she spent in the Hamptons away from her husband. Ben Affleck, for what it’s worth, remained in Los Angeles, and was papped heading to his office on Wednesday, July 3rd.
Jennifer Lopez Spends Fourth Of July Weekend Without Ben Affleck
The Shotgun Wedding actress was reportedly first spotted in New York on July 1st following her ultra-glamorous European trip – which again, she went on without the 51-year-old Gone Girl actor. But if we are to believe some insiders, she seems to be loving spending time by herself, and isn't letting the fact that she is alone – or the ongoing divorce rumors – get her down!
According to People, a source claimed that the JLo Beauty founder "has seemed happy and peaceful during her week in the Hamptons," adding: "She doesn't appear upset at all."
The Hustlers star may have been without her husband, but she wasn't totally alone in the Hamptons, either! Some of her vacation activities reportedly included shopping for plants with manager Benny Medina, enjoying a bike ride with friend and longtime vocal coach Stevie Mackey, and having lunch at Sant Ambroeus East Hampton. She even shared some pictures of herself posing in a lavender field on her Instagram profile, proving that she was having a whale of a time without the Tender Bar actor.
Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are 'Focused On Their Separate Lives'
The news that the married couple spent the holiday weekend apart shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as the pair have been living separate lives for quite some time. Let's not forget that the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor recently moved all of his things out of their Beverly Hills mansion and is predominantly living in his rental property in Brentwood.
There's also the fact that the couple secretly put their home up for sale, which only adds to those split rumors. A source told People last month that Lopez and Affleck are "focused on their separate lives" and "don't have any summer plans together."
Another insider chimed in: "Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental. He's been there for about two months now. He seems okay. He's been at his office every day and seems focused on work."
They went on to say that he is "also spending time with his kids," in reference to the three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
