Jennifer Lopez revealed she tried to share how she has majorly adjusted her life for her husband, Ben Affleck.

Speaking to the Associated Press, the "Jenny from the Block" hitmaker tries not to have a busy schedule to accommodate her relationship with the Batman v. Superman actor.

Lopez mentioned that she had reduced her work obligations to prioritize her personal life over the years.

The Maid In Manhattan actress has reportedly prioritized a slower pace of life and spending more time at home. This shift coincided with the rekindling of her relationship over a decade ago, though she did not directly reference her connection with Affleck.

She told the publication, "I used to do a lot of that. This, this, this, this."

"That's the truth ... As much as it seems like I'm going at a fever pace all the time, I'm actually at half the pace that I was a few years ago."

As speculation grows regarding the couple's potential divorce, the mother-of-two has visibly ramped up her schedule, frequently dividing her time between New York City and Los Angeles, where Affleck is based.

Although their wedding was just under two years ago, multiple reports have suggested that the couple's marriage has worsened.

According to a source close to the situation, Affleck has been absolved of any responsibility for the issues between him and Lopez. The source mentioned that the actor, who said he would reside away from his and Lopez's shared residence, is currently prioritizing his professional commitments and spending quality time with his children.

"[Affleck] already moved out and they'll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for."

They continued, "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."

Following their public appearance on May 17, reports suggest that the Selena star and the lead Gone Girl star have decided to enlist crisis PR to manage their separation.

A different source probed deeper into the current status of the romantic relationship.

"They are taking some space to work out whether or not the relationship is right for both of them," the source dished.

"[Lopez] had started ramping up her work commitments and prepping for her tour. She's very focused on work and overextends herself."

In addition, Affleck seems out of sync with Lopez's way of life and has been tired of their relationship.

According to sources, he is mentally withdrawn, and they often find themselves at odds, no longer sharing the same wavelength they once did. The initial excitement of their romance has allegedly faded away.
