Jennifer Lopez was left stunned by the demise of her happy ending with Ben Affleck .

According to insiders, the Marry Me actress has been doing her best to pick up the pieces as the pair are allegedly headed for a split after tying the knot in 2022.

Despite nursing her broken heart, Lopez trying to turn the page to a more positive chapter in her life. "It has been a hard year with some unexpected realizations, changes, and obstacles, but Jen is trying to view her 55th birthday as a fresh start ," a separate insider dished.
