(NewsNation) — Nothing says “I love you, baby” more than taking a solo vacation during marital strife.

While Ben Affleck tries to stay on the straight and narrow in Los Angeles, his (soon-to-be-ex) wife Jennifer Lopez has parked herself on a yacht in Italy for a solo, come-to-Jesus-on-her-own vacation. 

According to sources, Lopez has finally come to her senses and the realization that her two-year marriage to Affleck is over.

“She’s had one of the worst years of her life,” a source said, “and he didn’t support her. At all.”

Affleck seemingly turned off the light on his marriage when Lopez’s album and subsequent companion movies flopped. She hit the Met Gala carpet on her own in May and he moved out of their $60 million Los Angeles mansion

Lopez tried hard to save the crumbling marriage: Canceling her tour (using her personal life as an excuse although poor sales were cited) and appearing in (Affleck-approved) sweats and low-key outfits for the past month.

But now, she’s done.

The good news is they both had airtight prenups drawn up by lawyers, so the divorce will be relatively easy and painless.

“They won’t appear in court, they just have to sign papers and it will be over. By the time they announce it to the press the divorce will be done,” my source added. “Very easy.”

Now, about that broken heart and humiliation…

Lopez’s rep didn’t return emails.  

So far this year alone, Lopez has had to endure (alone):

  • February 16: “This is Me… Now” debuts alongside her accompanying documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” (which follows her love story with Ben Affleck), and a “companion” musical film “This Is Me Now… A Love Story.” Both movies flopped and the album was Lopez’s worst performing ever. 
  • March 13: Seven cities were canceled from her “This Is Me… Now” tour due to poor sales.
  • April 2: With lagging sales, Lopez’s tour is rebranded as “This Is Me… Live,” featuring her greatest hits instead of the treacly love songs from her latest album.
  • April 11: Lopez goes back to work filming “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” while Affleck leaves for Los Angeles.
  • May 6: Lopez co-chaired the annual Met Gala and showed up alone after Affleck refused to attend (Claiming he was filming in L.A.). On what was supposed to be a glorious homecoming for Lopez, she appeared gaunt and furious, snapping at reporters on the red carpet.
  • May 12: Lopez spent Mother’s Day 5,643 miles away from Affleck in Paris with her daughter Emme while Affleck was hanging out with his children in L.A. next to his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
  • May 15: Lopez spotted house hunting with her producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas despite Lopez and Affleck dropping $60 million in cash for a Beverly Hills mansion last June.
  • May 24: Lopez’s Netflix movie “Atlas” premieres and is panned. 
  • May 28: Affleck attends his daughter Violet’s graduation without Lopez.
  • May 29: It’s reported her $90 million deal with MGM in Las Vegas is kaput.
  • May 31: Live Nation announces tour cancellation.
  • June 2024: Lopez and Affleck put their $60 million house on the market. He is reported to be staying in a rental, alone.
