Jennifer Lopez ‘Ate Junk Food’ With Ben Affleck and Is Now ‘Going Turbo’ on Fitness Routine for Next Romance
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly headed for divorce after two years of marriage. The couple’s love story started in the early 2000s, as they got engaged in 2002. They broke off their engagement in 2004 and went their separate ways before reconnecting and tying the knot 20 years later. An insider recently said that Lopez is working on her fitness more than ever as a divorce from Affleck is imminent. Here’s what they alleged regarding her habits.
Jennifer Lopez is allegedly ‘going turbo’ with her fitness as her marriage to Ben Affleck falls apart
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to hard physical work. As a dancer, performer, and actor, she knows how to stay in shape for movie roles and tours. Now, an insider alleged that Lopez is looking to get in the best shape of her life as a divorce from Ben Affleck feels imminent. The couple reportedly hasn’t lived together for months and have trouble communicating.
“She’s going turbo on the fitness and beauty regime,” a source told Life & Style. “She really resented Ben for months and has been going through a hard time because Ben always criticized her for her OTT workout routine.”
The source added that Lopez “ate junk food” with Affleck to show him that she could be cool and fun. However, it took her away from the physique she wished to maintain. “She kept her figure, but it caused her to break away from her optimal body,” the insider claimed. “But now she’s going hell for leather to get it back. She’s up every morning doing lunges and squats, sweating her butt off at the gym while lining up trips to the health spa.”
So, what’s Lopez eating these days? The source said she’s focusing on a diet of “lean protein and salads and no junk whatsoever.” She also wants Affleck “to see what he’s missing” while she gets healthier than ever for “a new guy when she’s good and ready.”
She previously said she was in ‘fighting shape’ before canceling her tour
Jennifer Lopez canceled her tour, “This Is Me … Live,” following rumors that she and Ben Affleck were headed for divorce. The superstar reportedly needed to take time away from the tour to spend it with friends and family. She’s since been spotted spending time at events for her and Affleck’s kids.
Before canceling the tour, Lopez said on LIVE with Kelly and Mark that she had gotten “in fighting shape” while filming Kiss of the Spider Woman.
“Now, I’m ready to go,” Lopez said after filming, as the movie contained nonstop singing and dancing scenes. “I’m the thinnest I’ve ever been. I’m, like, in fighting shape right now.”
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly over Ben Affleck’s smoking habit
Jennifer Lopez has maintained healthy habits throughout her entire career. While she doesn’t maintain a restrictive diet, she stays active through her lifestyle, movies, and music. And she’s entirely over Ben Affleck’s smoking habit.
“She hates cigarette smoke, and what’s worse, she’s smelling it on his clothes,” an insider told Life & Style in April 2024. “While Ben goes outside to smoke now, she’d rather he not smoke at all.”
Another source told OK! Magazine that Lopez doesn’t allow Affleck to smoke in or around the home they shared. “J.Lo loves Ben, but she’s tired of his nasty cigarettes,” the source alleged. “She put up with his smoking at first because it’s his only vice left, and she didn’t want to be a nag, but she can’t stand it.”
