“The writing is on the wall – it’s over,” the insider stated, adding, “They are headed for divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not the blame!’
The source claimed that the actor has moved out of the $60 million home he shares with Lopez.
The mother of two was spotted house hunting in Beverly Hills without Ben on Tuesday.
‘He is now concentrating on his work and his children. Ben has already moved out and they will likely have to sell the dream home they spent two years looking for,” the insider continued.
‘They will never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way this could have lasted.’
Jennifer’s decision to release her $20 million Amazon Prime documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” in February, which chronicled her love story with Ben, apparently put a strain on the couple’s marriage.
The source said: ‘Ben would never try to suppress [Jennifer]’s dreams or tell her she can’t do something that will advance her career even though she can control him quite a bit.”
On Wednesday, Lopez wore a sporty look while heading to a dance studio. She felt comfortable in a cropped sweater, beige pants and sneakers.
Her honey-colored locks were pulled into a ponytail and she rocked a pair of hoop earrings.

The day before, the multi-hyphenate appeared to be eyeing new mega-mansions.
It was only a year ago that Lopez and Affleck purchased the $60.85 million, 46,000-square-foot home they currently own.
The house – also known as the ‘Wallingford estate’ – sits on a five-acre promontory and features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
Fans have pointed out that the couple has been spending a lot of time apart lately and attending events without each other.
Lopez was solo for her co-chairmanship at the glitzy Met Gala in New York on May 6, with many surprised that Affleck skipped the event.
Ben was said to have been working on The Accountant 2, but the source said he had ‘decided to call it quits’ over his marriage to the singer.
Meanwhile, Affleck was solo during his appearance on The Roast of Tom Brady on May 5.
During their last outing together, the couple seemed tense, with neither smiling as they headed to lunch at Cecconi’s.
Tensions seemingly began to surface in Lopez’s recent documentary, in which Affleck admitted he was uncomfortable with such a public relationship.
The director confessed, “When I got back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a social media relationship.’ Then I realized it’s not fair to ask. It’s like, you get married to a boat captain and you say, “Well, I don’t want to learn the water.” to make compromises.’

Meanwhile, the Jenny from the Block hitmaker added: “I don’t think so [Ben] I really enjoy doing this, [but] he doesn’t want to stop me.
Affleck made it clear in the documentary that the intense early scrutiny when they were first dating in 2003 caused the couple to split just before they got married.
The actor blamed “the enormous amount of scrutiny surrounding our private lives.”
They were previously engaged in 2002 before going their separate ways two years later. They then rekindled their romance in the spring of 2021.
The duo tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at his Georgia estate in August 2022.
This isn’t the first time fans have speculated that there’s trouble in paradise in the couple’s marriage.
In May last year, Ben appeared to slam the car door after Jennifer sat in the passenger seat, sending fans on social media into a frenzy.
Fans took to Twitter to comment on the viral clip, noting that he looked “miserable.”
That same month, they were caught having yet another tense conversation in public.

The couple was driving in Beverly Hills when they stopped at a red light and had a heated conversation.
Photos taken by a European tourist and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com showed a visibly frustrated Ben behind the wheel, talking to Jennifer as she sat in the passenger seat of his Rivian electric SUV, with the windows rolled down.
Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. After tying the knot with Ben, she also became stepmother to his children whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
