Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 'moving on separately' after spending summer apart

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are navigating separate paths as summer comes to a close. Sources reveal that the couple has been spending weeks apart, with Lopez enjoying time in New York City and the Hamptons, while Affleck remains in Los Angeles. The "Atlas" actress recently returned to L.A. and is now searching for a new home to start fresh.

Despite putting on a united front at family events, signs of trouble in their marriage emerged in May, and the couple spent their second wedding anniversary apart in July. Lopez, who canceled her summer concert tour to prioritize family time, is focusing on her career, producing a Netflix series adaptation of Emily Henry's novel "Happy Place" and preparing for upcoming film roles.

Affleck, on the other hand, has wrapped filming for "The Accountant 2" and is set to star in the Netflix crime thriller "RIP" alongside Matt Damon.

Though both are pursuing their individual projects, their professional lives remain intertwined, as Lopez's upcoming films, "Unstoppable" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman," are produced by Affleck's company, Artists Equity.

While the couple's representatives have not responded to requests for comment, sources revealed to PEOPLE that Lopez is maintaining a positive attitude amidst the challenges, enjoying time with her loved ones and focusing on her future endeavors.
