Jennifer López celebrated Mother’s Day with her children, but without her husband.
A source close to the Grammy winner, 54, said the couple, who appear to live apart, “did not celebrate Mother’s Day together,” according to People.
The breakup between the two, who first tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 and then walked down the aisle at a lavish wedding the following month at Affleck’s Georgia estate, appears to have been about living separate lives.
The change in status was not as noticeable until López returned from New York, where he was working on a variety of projects.
She recently completed filming Kiss of the Spider Woman, attended the premiere of her Netflix film Atlas, and co-chaired the Met Gala.

Affleck, who has been working on a sequel to his 2016 thriller The Accountant, was absent from the premiere and gala, and has since been seen without his wedding ring.
The couple met on May 16, when they attended a recital at Fin Affleck’s school. The actor shares Fin, formerly Seraphina, 15, Violet, 18, and Sam, 12, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that “Ben didn’t seem happy to see JLo when she arrived at one of her children’s show.”
“When he saw her get out of the car, they didn’t hug or kiss,” the observer said of the actor, 51, and his wife, 54, who arrived separately and met in a parking lot.
Despite not making any public display of affection, Jennifer brought Ben’s son a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to celebrate his performance.
An informant said Perez Hilton that “nothing would have prevented them from getting together to have children” and that “the marital drama takes second place.”
‘They are forming a united front. Jen showed up with Emme to support Fin. “Emme is very attached to Fin, so it’s only natural that Jen, no matter what’s going on with Ben, was there,” the source said.
Lopez shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55.

Lopez and Affleck married twice in 2022, first in Las Vegas in July and then in a lavish ceremony at their Georgia estate in August (pictured in Beverly Hills in January).
‘Thank you for giving me the privilege and gift of being your mother. The most beautiful blessing of my life,’ the Marry Me actress wrote to her children on Mother’s Day, along with a carousel of photos and videos on social networks.
‘Lulu and Max, I am ALWAYS here to support you, encourage you, to remind you of your greatness, your goodness and your unlimited capacity. You. Can. Do. Whatever,’ he told them.
‘You are brilliant, beautiful and worthy of love and all the beautiful things in life. If you ever learn anything from me, let it be that. I love you beyond ever… And always… And always…’

Lopez, who recently completed filming Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York, attended the Met Gala alone. She was co-chair of the annual event (pictured in New York on May 6).
The All I Have singer also offered an emotional shout-out to her own mother, Guadalupe.
‘Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. As the years go by, I realize more and more the sacrifices you made of yourself and your dreams to give us the opportunity and strength to live ours,’ she wrote.
‘I appreciate all the songs you sang and the dancing in the living room and all the stories you told where I hung on every word and then cried with laughter at how you told them. Thank you for the joy you brought to me,’ she explained.
‘Your resilience and bravery live within my bones and I will always be grateful for the beautiful times, and also the inevitable difficult times. They make up our life and our relationship and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you just the way you are. Forever, Jennifer.
