They made their highly anticipated public appearance on May 16, 2024, stepping out together in New York City for the fist time since March 30, 2024.

They then made a series of lowkey appearances together, all the while 'unnamed sources' were hinting to various media outlets that their relationship was close to over.

On June 8, TMZ reported the couple were selling their Beverly Hills home, which they had purchased just months after their wedding.

That combined with the fact Lopez cancelled her This Is Me... Live tour to "take time off to be with her children, family and close friends" had the rumour mill going wild.
