Jennifer Lopez is reportedly start to move on from Ben Affleck as early as now, even before the divorce buzz are properly addressed and the separation officially announced.

Lopez and Affleck's outings failed to stop the split buzz from emerging as reports claimed they were only putting on a show before confirming their divorce. Some also claimed they would drop the bombshell announcement once Lopez's tour ended.

A new report recently claimed that, amid these issues, the "On the Floor" singer began moving on from her husband.

"The split is getting nasty. She isn't wasting any time moving on from Ben," the insider told In Touch, adding, "She went to the Met Gala alone, she went out to dinner on Mother's Day without him, and now she's looking for a new home for herself after they had spent months searching for their dream home. And with a combined net worth of $550 million, the divorce is only going to get nastier."

Lopez and Affleck have yet to formally put an end to the buzz, but the rumors intensified when the "Gigli" actress promoted her new Netflix film Atlas in Mexico City on May 22. At the time, a reporter interrupted the press conference to ask Lopez a very personal question.

"Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumors?" said the identified reporter. "What is the truth? Para le press le Mexicana [for the Mexican press], what is the truth of the situation?"

Her costar, Simu Liu, immediately defended Lopez and told the reporter they were not "doing that" before thanking the press. Lopez soon leaned in and told the reporter, "You know better than that."

Several media outlets suggested that Lopez's extreme desire to make their relationship public affected their marriage, especially since the "Justice League" actor never wanted to experience the thing they faced when they first got engaged.

Affleck also opened up on social media after the release of The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary, saying he told Lopez when they got back together that he does not want a relationship on social media.

"Then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask. It's sort of like, you're gonna marry a boat captain, and you go, 'Well, I don't like the water.' We're trying to learn to compromise," he went on. "Things that are private, I'd always felt are sacred and special because in part they're private."
