Jennifer Lopez enjoyed her getaway overseas during a challenging time in her personal life.

The Atlas actress recently spent time relaxing in Italy with friends and made her way to Paris, where she attended the Christian Dior Haute Couture fall/winter fashion show.

Lopez’s time away comes after she canceled her summer concert tour. She’s also experiencing a strain in her marriage with Ben Affleck, though neither of them has commented on that publicly.

A source says Lopez, 54, was “grateful” for time to herself. She and Affleck, 51, are “doing their own thing so far this summer,” says the source.

“Jennifer’s having a wonderful time in Europe. She loves Italy and visits every year. She’s grateful for a break,” the source adds. “The past few weeks have been emotional for her. Ben has been working in L.A. and is spending time with his kids. Everyone seems to be doing okay.”
