Jennifer Lopez looked away from growing media speculation regarding the state of her marriage to husband Ben Affleck on Sunday.
The 54-year-old singer and actress, who has been on a solo trip to Italy without her husband for two years, showed happiness by flashing a provocative smile.
Jennifer was spotted on a boat heading to the famous Lo Scoglio restaurant in Nerano for lunch with friends – again without her actor partner, 51.
The On The Floor singer was impeccably dressed in a pretty printed shirt dress, which she wore with white peep toe heels and a cream fedora.
Jennifer – also known as JLo – also accessorized with a pair of stylish sunglasses, gold earrings and an orange Hermes Birkin bag.
Jennifer has spent the past few days in Italy and was recently spotted partying with friends on a boat in Positano, with onlookers saying she looked “in good spirits”.
As well as admiring the beautiful scenery around her, the mother of two, who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, posed for selfies from different angles and even took a few photos of her. behind famous.
It’s unclear who she was sending her flirty snaps to, but over the years Ben loved going boating with Jennifer and, memorably, recreated an iconic scene from her 2002 Jenny From the Block music video on a mega yacht of $130 million as they vacationed together in Saint Tropez for his 52nd birthday after their first reunion.
The amusing display came after a source told DailyMail.com that Jennifer was “done” trying to repair her marriage to Ben.
An industry insider claimed the pop star was at her wit’s end and no longer felt she could do “more” to save the relationship.
A music industry source told DailyMail.com. “Jenny has had enough and she’s really tried but she can’t do more, it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse.”
The source adds that the main reason JLo left her husband was because he was always “grumpy and negative” like Sesame Street’s Oscar The Grouch.
Jennifer also says she’s “shocked” by the bad press she’s receiving, which she says isn’t fair.
The source said: “If people could see what she actually went through, they would be easier on her. Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and depressing.
“I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw what was really happening, they wouldn’t attack her,” Jennifer’s friend said.
“He chain smokes and swears and seems irritated most of the time. A great director and actor, but we don’t laugh a lot with him, you know? the source said. “But he’s a wonderful father.”
They added: “She’s definitely not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she’ll get over it. She will continue walking. “Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, like she always does!”
She relies on close friends, notably stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy. Another pillar of support is vocal coach Stevie Mackey.
Multiple reports indicate that Ben and Jennifer were set to announce their divorce last Friday, which is the norm among celebrities who go their separate ways.
When the source was asked about this, she responded, “I think they wanted to wait until all the kids were out of school and done with school projects and stuff before they had their big announcement.” They put children first.
And as for how Jennifer and Ben are getting along these days, the source said they are “cordial” with each other.
So, what happened to the once jovial Ben who smiled at fans and kissed Jennifer in public? The source highlights the pressure in Ben’s career.
“He’s filming Accounting 2 and the hours are really long, he’s working hard on it and it’s a lot to juggle with marriage and kids,” the source said. “So sometimes he’s not in the best mood.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer cleared her schedule this summer to take some time off and reexamine her life.
“She lives alone and not with Ben, I think everyone already knows that, so it’s a major change for her and the kids,” the friend said. Indeed, Ben moved into a $100,000-a-month rental near Garner a few months ago.
“Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they’re just too different, there’s no compromise, there’s no mixing, they’re just on separate tracks.”
The source added that Jennifer gave it her all: “She really tried to make it work, and it just didn’t work.
“She invested a lot of time and energy, and I think he did the same. There is no one to blame here. It just wasn’t planned. It’s very difficult for two big stars to maintain a marriage, one of them has to give in, and in this case neither gave in.
