Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are ‘Moving on Separately’: ‘She Hasn’t Seen Ben for Weeks’ (Source)
Jennifer Lopez is trying to “start fresh,” a source tells PEOPLE
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are considering next steps as their summer winds down.
The Atlas actress, 55, “hasn’t seen Ben for weeks,” a source tells PEOPLE. She’s been spending time in New York City and the Hamptons, where she held a large birthday bash with friends and family, sans Affleck, 51.
Affleck, meanwhile, has mostly been spending time in Los Angeles, and Lopez recently returned back to L.A.
“They’re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh,” adds the source.
Signs that their marriage was in a bad place became evident in May, when sources said Lopez and Affleck were living under separate roofs.
They put on a united front at graduation gatherings and other family milestones but later embarked on separate summer plans. They marked their two-year wedding anniversary apart in July.
“Considering everything that’s going on, Jennifer is having a good summer,” the source says. “She’s been off and able to focus on what’s next. She’s enjoyed spending time with her kids, family and friends.”
“She always has good attitude even when things are not perfect,” adds the source.
Reps for the stars did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
