In the midst of persistent divorce rumors surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage, the 54-year-old singer has taken some time for self-reflection during her recent solo trip to Italy. Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggests that the trip signifies the existence of underlying issues.

According to sources, Jennifer Lopez embarked on a vacation to Italy without her husband, fueling speculation about the current state of their relationship. Reports reveal that they have been spending more time apart, with Ben Affleck even moving out of their shared home and back into his own place. Alderson believes that their separate living arrangements and Jennifer's trip to Italy point to potential conflicts they are attempting to resolve.

"It's possible that Jennifer's trip to Italy is allowing her some time and space to reflect on her marriage and what she wants for her future," Alderson stated. Given the couple's history and previous engagement, it is understandable that Lopez would not rush into any decision regarding the fate of their relationship. If they consider themselves soulmates, she may be hesitant to let go of their bond.

Photographs obtained by TMZ depict Jennifer Lopez enjoying her time at a hotel in Positano, heading towards the water with friends and even boarding a boat. She confidently showcased her age-defying physique, wearing a yellow bandeau top, matching shorts, and a jacket draped over her arms.

Divorce rumors began circulating after Jennifer attended the Met Gala alone last month, and recent reports indicate that the couple has sold their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion. However, no official statements regarding the status of their marriage have been released.

As fans and onlookers eagerly await further information, Jennifer Lopez continues to take the necessary time to reflect on her marriage, safeguarding the connection that has tied her to Ben Affleck for so long. Only time will tell what lies ahead for this celebrity power couple.
