Pop star Jennifer Lopez has recently raised eyebrows with posts on her Instagram account, which fans believe may be hinting at issues in her marriage to actor Ben Affleck. The posts feature excerpts from her 2021 song, “Cambia El Paso“, a song about personal growth and moving on, leading to speculation about her current personal life.
The song’s lyrics, which include lines like “He doesn’t deserve to have her in his arms” and “Her life is better now without him,” have sparked discussions about the status of Lopez’s marriage to Affleck. Some fans and media entities are suggesting these posts might be more than just a commemoration of the song’s release.
These speculations have been fueled by ongoing rumors of troubles in Lopez and Affleck’s marriage. Reports have emerged that the couple, married in 2022, have been living separately. Affleck is said to have moved out of their shared Beverly Hills, California home, while Lopez reportedly spent the Fourth of July weekend away from him.
In an interview on SiriusXM’s Pitbull’s Globalization show in 2021, Lopez explained that “Cambia El Paso” is about embracing change. “The song is about change and not being afraid to take the step,” she said. “Like, just take the step, advance, do what you need to do. If something’s not feeling right, whatever it is in your life, just make that move and dance. Dance is life and joy and happiness.”
Recent sources indicate that Lopez and Affleck have been spending more time apart, adding fuel to the rumors of a potential split. One source close to the couple revealed that Affleck has moved out of their shared Beverly Hills home and rented a different place, while Lopez continues to live in their mansion.
The couple’s separate Fourth of July celebrations have also added to the ongoing speculation. Lopez celebrated the holiday in the Hamptons with her twin children, Emme and Max, whom she has with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck was seen in Los Angeles, California with his children from his previous marriage to actress Jennifer Garner. Despite the separate celebrations, both Lopez and Affleck were spotted wearing their wedding rings, leaving fans unsure about the reality of their relationship status.
Adding to the unfolding drama, it’s been reported that Lopez’s family has shown concerns about her relationship with Affleck. Sources state that Lopez’s mother and sisters have advised her to move on, with one source revealing that her mother said, “Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess. He was not the person she built him up to be. It’s taken too much of a toll on her, and because of this, she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for.”
Lopez’s song “Cambia El Paso” was released following her highly publicized split from former MLB player Alex Rodriguez in 2021. The song, seen as an anthem of empowerment and moving forward, appears to be relevant to her current circumstances.
While Lopez has not publicly addressed the rumors surrounding her marriage, her activity on social media has kept fans intrigued. The timing of her posts, coupled with the lyrics of the song, has led to speculation that she may be communicating a message about her relationship with Affleck.
Given Affleck’s fluency in Spanish, acquired during his time filming a TV show in Mexico, he would be able to understand the subtle nuances of the song’s lyrics. This fact has further propelled the speculation that Lopez might be indirectly expressing her feelings about their relationship through her posts.
As of now, neither Lopez nor Affleck has issued any official statement regarding the status of their marriage. Nonetheless, fans and media continue to keep a close eye on their social media activities for any hints or updates about their relationship. The couple’s journey, ever since their romance was rekindled and they got married, has been closely followed, and any new developments will certainly attract significant interest.
