Jennifer Lopez Is Making Summer Travel Plans amid Marriage Strain with Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is planning her summer vacation!

The Atlas star, 54, has been making plans to travel, a source tells PEOPLE. Lopez is taking time this summer “to be with her children, family and close friends,” Live Nation announced on May 31 when she canceled her planned concert tour amid what sources have called strain in her marriage to Ben Affleck,

Lopez has previously taken some epic summer vacations, both with friends and with Affleck.

In years past, the couple enjoyed trips to France and Italy over the summer, including during their 2022 honeymoon in Milan and Lake Como and a birthday trip to the celeb-favorite island of Capri.

Lopez has said she’s “not a big vacation person” in general, but has spoken about her love for Italy. “When I finally went to spend a couple of summers in a row in the south of Italy, I really, really loved it,” she shared in a 2023 interview with Travel + Leisure.

The singer’s favorite feature of the boot doesn’t quite narrow down where she might be eyeing for a vacation this year, but it may hint at her accommodations.

“I just love being on the water, to be honest. I feel like the water is really something that calms me. I can actually sit still and stare at the ocean and at the sky,” she told T+L. “I like just being right there on the coast it’s beautiful and eating outside and enjoying the fresh air.”

In 2021, Lopez and Affleck celebrated her 52nd birthday on a yacht off the Amalfi Coast and docked at St. Tropez, another favorite haunt of A-listers in the summer.

“They are having a beautiful trip,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.

While Affleck and Lopez’s current marriage troubles are shaping their vacation plans, the stars have remained friendly.

The singer posted a heartfelt message to her husband on Father’s Day on June 16, calling him “our hero.”

The actor shares children Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52; and is stepdad to Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony.

They recently attended a graduation party for Samuel alongside Garner at a rental home in Brentwood, Calif. and wore their wedding rings at the event.

The pair are quietly trying to sell the $61 million Beverly Hills home they bought together in 2023. Lopez has been living at the house while Affleck is staying at a rental home a few miles away, according to sources, but they “see each other every few days,” a source said.
