Jennifer Lopez Hints At Ben Affleck Divorce? JLo Likes IG Post About Broken Relationships
Jennifer Lopez may have just fueled the rumors that she and her husband Ben Affleck are headed for a split.
On Thursday, the multi-hyphenate entertainer liked an Instagram post by relationship coach Lenna Marsak about broken relationships.
In the post, Marsak listed the qualities she believes are common among people who are unable to build healthy relationships.
"You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who...," read the first image, which was followed by a slide that said, "Lacks integrity [and] emotional safety."
The third image pointed to a person who "doesn't respect your time [and] doesn't think it's important to call/text back in a respectable time frame."
In the fourth slide, the relationship guru called out those who lack "effective communication skills," give their partners the silent treatment, withdraw and refuse to "communicate unless it's on their terms."
According to the last image, it is difficult to build a healthy relationship with people who don't "know who they are and what they want" because there is "no clear director" or "stability."

Marsak further expanded on her statements in the caption, in which she wrote: "Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing [and] fostering it is a different story. After all, love is not a feeling, it's action."
It is unclear why Lopez chose to leave a like on the post.
But around the same time she liked it, reports surfaced that her husband has been staying alone at a residence in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles instead of returning to their marital home.
TMZ published a photo it claimed showed Affleck riding solo as he left the Brentwood mansion Thursday morning.
Unnamed sources told the outlet that the Oscar winner was not seen at the Beverly Hills home he shares with Lopez, suggesting he spent the night at the Brentwood residence.
Later that afternoon, Lopez was captured in photos visiting a dance studio in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The speculation that Lopez and Affleck's marriage is on the rocks intensified in recent days as the pair have yet to be seen together publicly despite both being in L.A.
Earlier this week, In Touch Weekly reported that the "Justice League" actor allegedly moved out of their marital home and that they were "headed for a divorce." Enstarz could not independently verify this information.
"The writing is on the wall -- it's over," an unnamed insider told the outlet.
"They'll never stop loving each other, but she can't control him, and he can't change her. There's no way it could have lasted," the source claimed.
The report claimed that one issue allegedly affecting their marriage stems from the difference in their opinions of how public their relationship should be.
Despite this, Affleck and Lopez have yet to ditch their wedding rings, potentially suggesting that the reports and speculation about their marriage were exaggerated.
Photos published by TMZ from their Thursday sightings showed them both sporting their wedding bands.
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021, 17 years after calling off their first engagement. They wed in Las Vegas in July 2022.
