While rumors of trouble in paradise have been circulating, it is important to note that no one has approached a divorce attorney just yet.

Recently, on Mother's Day, Lopez found herself in Paris with her child Emme while Affleck celebrated the occasion in Los Angeles with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children. This raised eyebrows as it was expected that Lopez and Affleck would spend the special day together. A close friend of Lopez expressed surprise at Affleck's absence, mentioning that she enjoys being pampered on such occasions.

Furthermore, the media frenzy intensified when pictures of Lopez house hunting with producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas surfaced. The speculation increased because the couple had already purchased a lavish Beverly Hills mansion worth $60 million in cash just last year. The timing of this house hunting venture further fueled speculation.

Lopez's professional life has also been facing difficulties. Her recent studio album, "This is Me... Now," received negative reviews from both critics and fans. It debuted at number 38 on the Billboard charts and quickly plummeted. The accompanying tour, named after the album, had to be rebranded as "This Is Me... Live" and several cities were canceled due to poor ticket sales. Despite these setbacks, Lopez remains determined to push forward with the tour.

In addition to these career hurdles, Lopez's appearance at the Met Gala was marred by Affleck's absence. As co-chair of the event, it was expected that she would make a grand entrance with her partner. However, she walked the red carpet alone and reportedly snapped at reporters. Following the event, Lopez flew to Paris, leaving behind questions about the status of her relationship with Affleck.

Meanwhile, Affleck has been busy filming "The Accountant 2" and has faced criticism for his expletive-filled roast of Tom Brady. Additionally, concerns have been raised about his physical appearance, with some commenting on his gaunt look.

A close friend of Affleck acknowledges the differences between the couple, emphasizing that they have contrasting personalities and interests. Affleck is described as low-key and prefers spending time with friends and being a homebody, while Lopez enjoys the glamour and extravagance of her career. Their divergent lifestyle choices and histories of addiction may contribute to the challenges they face as a couple.

Despite the various hurdles, it is essential to note that representatives for Affleck and Lopez have not responded to inquiries, leaving their current situation open to speculation.

As fans and onlookers watch the developments surrounding their relationship, it remains to be seen whether this beloved couple can find common ground and navigate their differences.
