Speculations swirl around Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage as Lopez's social media move sparked what everybody had been thinking.

The "Jenny From the Block" hitmaker "liked" an Instagram post identifying warning signs in romantic partners, according to a report by TMZ.

A romance coach account captioned a carousel of photos, "You can't build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves. We can't expect someone to see us when we can't even see themselves. Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing & fostering it is a different story. After all, love is not a feeling, it's action."

The post, which Lenna Marsak created, emphasized that fostering a positive relationship is challenging when dealing with individuals who exhibit a lack of integrity, fail to provide emotional security, disregard the value of your time, struggle with effective communication techniques like resorting to the silent treatment, or are uncertain about their identity and life goals.

Lopez's social media move came after more than a month without public sightings of Affleck and Lopez together. A recent statement from a source straightforwardly declared to In Touch magazine, "The writing is on the wall-it's over."

The insider went on to say, "They're headed for a divorce- and for once, [Affleck's] not to blame," claiming that he was the one who "decided to call it quits" on his marriage Lopez.

"His attention is centered on his professional responsibilities and taking care of his children."

The report claimed that the duo's connection is eternal and characterized by unending love. However, they are at an impasse, as "she cannot influence him, and he cannot mold her," making it seemingly impossible for their relationship to endure.

But despite the rumors, Lopez continued to flaunt her wedding ring when she was spotted on Wednesday. Adorned in a loose-fitting, long-sleeved crop top and coordinated trousers, the "Hustlers" star showcased her trendy ensemble, complemented by oversized hoop earrings and stylish square-framed sunglasses.

Meanwhile, during her time at the studio, her husband appeared in Santa Monica the following day, wearing his wedding ring, contrary to rumors suggesting he's not residing at their shared residence.

Us Weekly revealed that despite taking some time apart, the couple has not officially ended their relationship.

According to their insider, "[Lopez] and [Affleck] are having issues in their marriage. They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour."

Lopez is preparing to launch her upcoming This Is Me... Live tour, which will start next month.

"[Lopez] is very focused on work. They are on two completely different pages most of the time."
