Jennifer Lopez coming to terms with her relationship with Ben Affleck getting over
According to reports by Heat Magazine, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who were spotted out for brunch with their children at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, got close in the process. Onlookers suggested that the former couple were spotted holding hands, further hinting that they might try to resolve their issues.
However, it was further reported that it’s very unlikely for Ben Affleck to change his mind. They mentioned that while JLo is trying her best to be strong in public, she has been missing Affleck’s presence at home. The sources mentioned she secretly hoped that her filing the divorce would spark something in the actor to take some action to save their relationship. But now she’s coming to terms with the fact that Affleck wants to go ahead with their divorce, and it’s hurtful to her.
The reports have mentioned that it was JLo who had insisted on meeting up for the brunch, hoping that meeting up would spark something in Affleck or at least make him realize what he’s losing. But she has been disappointed with how things are going for her.
He’s shown zero interest in maintaining any sort of relationship, let alone trying to save their marriage. Jen’s been clinging onto something that’s very much over. She just needs to deal with it and move on.
InTouch Weekly reported that JLo has made it plain that she’s never going to forgive Affleck for being such a coldhearted jerk and giving up on their marriage. They noted that she has agreed to play nice to wrap things up quickly without any fireworks, but she gets furious when Affleck refuses to take any responsibility for their marriage’s failure. The sources mentioned,
Ben had made it crystal clear he’s not going back to J.Lo, and she’s fuming. They were bickering behind the scenes even before their recent meet-up, which went about as badly as everyone feared.
Multiple reports have suggested that JLo is having a really hard time accepting that her marriage with Affleck didn’t work as she expected.
Jennifer Lopez turns toward retail therapy after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck
InTouch Weekly has reported that Lopez has turned towards retail therapy to feel better about herself, especially after her split from Affleck. The insiders claim that the singer has been spending money like she’s a billionaire now, which is not the case. They added,
She’s beefing up her entourage, which means her weekly spending has instantly tripled because when she goes anywhere, they all go with her. She’s treating herself to outrageous shopping sprees. She calls it retail therapy and says she needs it, but the bills are outrageous. She’s spending about $100,000 a day on designer clothes for her and her entourage.
Her close group of people is just dealing with it, as she says that it makes her happy, so it’s worth it. Jennifer Lopez, according to Celebrity Net Worth, is worth around $400 million, which is around $40 million per year. The sources added that it’s very clear that she will likely put up a fight if their divorce takes a nasty turn.
The insiders claim that Lopez is very much okay paying the lawyers than Affleck, which is why she’s given her team the go-ahead to stall the proceedings as much as they can. On the other hand, Affleck is trying to play down the money aspect of it.
It has also been reported that Affleck is leaning onto the mother of his kids Jennifer Garner for support along with best friend Matt Damon. The two of them have been keeping a check on the actor especially with knowing the fact that he has a history of substance abuse.
