Jennifer Lopez appears in good spirits at dance rehearsal for tour amid Ben Affleck split rumors
Jennifer Lopez was all smiles as she was seen entering a dance studio in Los Angeles Friday amid rumors that she and Ben Affleck are headed toward divorce.
The superstar flashed a beaming grin as she rocked wide-legged white sweats, a cream off-the-shoulder top and matching sneakers. She looked ready to dance all day with her hair pulled up into a high bun.
Lopez, 54, wore a similar outfit earlier this week when she was spotted house hunting — which an insider claimed had nothing to do with the breakup chatter.
Instead, they insisted she was on the hunt for an investment property.

Page Six exclusively learned, however, earlier this week that Affleck, 51, is in the midst of shopping for homes in the Los Angeles area.
TMZ also reported he has been residing in Brentwood, Calif., while he and Lopez work out their issues.
The outlet obtained snapshots of the star driving his sports car through the vibrant neighborhood with his wedding band still on.
Lopez also appeared to wear a ring on her left ring finger while heading into her dance studio Friday, although it is unclear if it is her matrimonial bling.
While there has been no confirmation of trouble in paradise from either party, the “On The Floor” hitmaker seemingly alluded to marital problems when she “liked” an Instagram post about a partner with unhealthy qualities, such as lack of respect and integrity.

An insider also claimed to Us Weekly Thursday that the pair started having serious issues “a few months ago” as Lopez began preparing for her upcoming tour.
“Jen is very focused on work,” the source explained. “They are on two completely different pages most of the time.”
Lopez’s rebranded tour, “This Is Me…Live | The Greatest Hits,” which has reportedly struggled with ticket sales, is set to kick off in June.

Affleck has hinted in the past that it takes compromise on both ends to make their relationship work.
“When Jen and I broke up before, the catalyst for that was the amount of scrutiny around our private life,” the “Armageddon” star explained in Lopez’s “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” documentary film, which debuted in February.
“I had a very firm sense of boundaries, initially, around the press.”

Affleck added that when they found love again in 2021, he told Lopez from the start that he didn’t want their relationship to be on social media or in the spotlight.
“And then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like you’re gonna marry a boat captain and [say] like, ‘Well, I don’t like the water,’” he reflected.
“We’re just two people with different approaches, trying to learn to compromise.”
The famous duo, dubbed “Bennifer,” was engaged the first time around in 2002 but postponed their wedding a year later before ultimately breaking up in January 2004.

They rekindled things shortly after Lopez’s 2021 split from her former fiancé Alex Rodriguez.
Affleck and the “Shades of Blue” alum walked down the aisle in Las Vegas in July 2022 and threw a formal celebration at his Georgia estate the following August.
“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind,” the “Can’t Get Enough” singer gushed in a newsletter sent to fans following the Vegas ceremony. “And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”
