Jennifer Lopez Spotted Alone Amid Rumors She, Ben Affleck Are In Therapy To Save Marriage
Jennifer Lopez was once again spotted without Ben Affleck amid rumors they could be heading for divorce.
The "Marry Me" actress stepped out solo on Wednesday. In the photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Lopez, 42, was rocking a sporty look when she visited a dance studio in Los Angeles.
Lopez dressed comfortably in a cropped sweater, beige pants and sneakers. She styled her hair in a ponytail and accessorized with a pair of hoop earrings. The "Jenny from the Block" singer was accompanied by her crew and appeared to be in good spirits as she was smiling in one photo. She was also seen house hunting on Tuesday without her husband.
The outlet noted that the celebrity couple, dubbed "Bennifer," was last seen in public together seven weeks ago when they grabbed lunch in New York City.

Affleck was also seen leaving another home without Lopez Thursday morning. Allegedly, he had been staying in a Brentwood house for the past weeks or so, according to TMZ. An insider claimed to In Touch that he had already left his and Lopez's marital home.
The solo sightings came amid rumors that the Hollywood stars were heading for divorce. However, another source claimed they are currently in therapy, hoping to make their marriage work.
"Ben believes in therapy, to a point, and is willing to be a good sport about participating with an open mind, even though he hates the whole humiliating process," an unnamed source disclosed to In Touch.
"He's never going to gauge the success of this marriage by what happens in the therapist's office. He also has a higher tolerance for conflict and having to fight to get his way than the average guy."
The source claimed that they had known the "Batman" star for "more than ten years," and for the celebrity dad of three, "everything is a fight." Lopez and Affleck allegedly have to remember why they tied the knot nearly two decades after they scrapped their first wedding plans and called off their engagement in 2003.
"The only satisfaction he gets in life is overcoming when the odds are stacked against him," the source continued.
"Now that they're reunited, the ego battle between Ben and Jennifer was always on full display and is only eclipsed by the obvious passion and respect they have for one another. But there has to be an easier path and you have to ask why they want their marriage to be this way in the first place?"
In a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, Lopez was asked about the possibility of her and Affleck breaking up after they reconciled in 2021. The "This is Me" artist said she didn't see them splitting up again.
"I don't think we would have got back together if we thought that was where it was headed," Lopez told the magazine.
"We feel like what we found again is so much more important, and how we protect that and how we live our lives - what to share, what not to share - is the balance that we have now, the benefit of experience and the wisdom that we gained over the years."
InTouch's source claimed that among the issues between Lopez and Affleck were the way they handled things. The "Let's Get Loud" singer reportedly loved the attention from the press, while the "Gone Girl" was more reserved.
Affleck was reportedly taken aback when Lopez shared his love letters for her in a documentary and she knew he wasn't comfortable being her muse. However, Lopez said, Affleck loved her, so he was supportive of her ventures.
"But he loves me, he knows I'm an artist, and he's gonna support me in every way," Lopez said. "But that doesn't mean he's comfortable being the muse."
