Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship is under intense speculation amid rumors their two-year marriage is over.
Affleck, 51, has been spotted without his wedding ring and moved out of the pair’s marital home, while Lopez, 54, jetted away without him to Italy.
The pair have been seen crossing paths at their LA offices this week – and now Affleck has put his ring back on – hinting at a change in their dynamic.
Now heartbreak coach Manj Bahra has exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that there could be a hidden meaning behind their seemingly solo lives of date.
Bahra said: ‘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 star was among a slew of big names in attendance for Haute Couture Fashuon Week in Paris, and noticeably hid her wedding ring as she attended the Dior show on Monday
‘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 made them stronger in 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.
‘The presence of a wedding ring can often be misleading.’
A source has added to DailyMail.com that Ben and Jen have their offices in the same building – hinting at meetings between the pair.
Affleck and Lopez are less than two years removed from their August 20, 2022 wedding at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia, which came more than a month after they exchanged vows in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
The pair were first engaged back in 2003 but called off the wedding that year and ended their romance in January 2004.
A source recently told DailyMail.com that Lopez is ‘over’ trying to fix her marriage to Ben.
An industry insider claimed that the pop star has reached her wit’s end and no longer feels that she can do any ‘more’ to save the relationship.
A music industry source told DailyMail.com: ‘Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, it’s not getting any better, it’s worse.’
The insider add that the main reason JLo left her husband was because he was always ‘grumpy and negative’ like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.

On Wednesday Ben had put his wedding ring back on as he left his office in Los Angeles – after previously ditching the band
Jennifer is also said to be ‘shocked’ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair.
The source said: ‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her. Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer.
‘I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her,’ said the friend of Jennifer.
‘He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?’ said the source. ‘He is a wonderful father though.’
They added: ‘She is really not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she will get over it. She will march on.
‘Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, she always does!’
