“She tried hard to make things work, and is heartbroken,” a source tells PEOPLE of Lopez. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.”

Recall that Lopez and Affleck were engaged in the early 2000s, split up before marriage, and then spent 17 years apart before getting married in July 2022. The couple had rekindled their romance the year before.
