Despite rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage may be in trouble, an expert has hinted that there could be good news on the horizon for them.
Lopez and Affleck then went on to have marriages with other high-profile individuals after their initial split in 2004, only to find their way back to each other in 2021. Their reunion culminated in a spontaneous wedding ceremony in a Las Vegas chapel in 2022.
The couple hosted a grand celebration in Georgia, surrounded by loved ones the same year.
However, split speculation arose when Affleck was seen without his wedding ring and moved out from their shared home. While the "Jenny from the Block" singer embarked on a solo trip to Italy, sightings of the pair coinciding at their Los Angeles offices have piqued interest.
Heartbreak coach Manj Bahra has weighed in with insightful analysis of the dynamics of the high-profile couple's seemingly independent paths after weeks of divorce rumors.
"Don't be surprised if there is a twist to this tale. Space can often do wonders for a relationship that has suffered constant public scrutiny," the expert explained to the Daily Mail. "It is possible that time apart has helped the two re-establish priorities and revisit what brought them together in the first place."
"This most recent setback may only have strengthened their conviction of wanting to be together. With that said, we can't rule out this wasn't some kind of final talk to confirm things."
He added, "The presence of a wedding ring can often be misleading."

It was also reported that Lopez and Affleck operate from offices in the same building, suggesting the possibility of regular meetings between them.
Early this week, the "Get Right" singer was photographed as she returned from her trip to Europe, visibly unenthused while sitting in a darkened SUV. Conducting a thorough analysis of the photos for The Mirror,behavioral expert Judi James observed that Lopez seemed to be in a low mood.
"[Lopez] does appear to be looking in a low mood here after her visit to her husband [Affleck's] office but her eyes are hidden by huge shades and her face is drooped downward, which could just mean she's reading the screen of her phone."
"She does seem to force a smile in one of the photos though, which could suggest she's trying to put on a brave face in public."
