Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship is under intense speculation amid rumors that their two-year marriage is over.
Affleck, 51, was seen without his wedding ring and moved out of the couple’s marital home, while Lopez, 54, jetted off to Italy without it.
The pair were spotted crossing paths at their Los Angeles offices this week, and now Affleck has put the 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 lonely lives.
Bahra said: “Don’t be surprised if there is a twist in this story. Space can often do wonders for a relationship that has suffered constant public scrutiny.”

The star was among a host of big names attending Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris, and she notably hid her wedding ring as she attended the Dior show on Monday.
‘It’s possible that the time apart helped the two reset priorities and revisit what brought them together in the first place.
This most recent setback may have only strengthened your conviction that you want to be together. That said, we cannot rule out that this is not some kind of final talk to confirm things.
‘The presence of a wedding ring can often be deceptive.’
A source added to DailyMail.com that Ben and Jen have their offices in the same building, hinting at meetings between the couple.
Affleck and Lopez have been less than two years since their August 20, 2022 wedding at Affleck’s estate outside Savannah, Georgia, which came more than a month after they exchanged vows in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
The couple first got engaged 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 his marriage with Ben.
An industry insider claimed the pop star has reached her wits’ end and no longer feels she can do “more” to save the relationship.
A music industry source told DailyMail.com: “Jenny has had enough and she’s really tried but she can’t do any more, she’s not getting better, she’s getting worse.”
The source added 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 quitting the band.
Jennifer is also said to be “shocked” by the bad press she has been receiving, which she believes is not fair.
The source said: “If people could see what she’s really been through, it would be easier for her.” Ben is a great guy, but he can be grumpy and depressing.
‘I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw what it was really like, they wouldn’t attack her,’ Jennifer’s friend said.
“He chain-smokes, swears and seems irritated most of the time. Great director and actor, but he doesn’t laugh much with him, you know?” the source said. “He’s a wonderful father, though.”
They added: “She’s not really used to this kind of negative feedback, but she’ll get over it. She’ll move on.”
‘Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, she always does!’

Rumors of a divorce between Ben and Jennifer (pictured together in May) increased when Ben also moved into a $100,000-a-month rental near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner several months ago.
She has leaned on close friends, including stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy, and vocal coach Stevie Mackey.
Meanwhile, Jennifer cleared her schedule this summer to give herself some time off to reexamine her life.
