Jennifer Lopez’s friend alleged that the superstar is willing to ‘sacrifice’ her career for her marriage to Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are massive stars, and fans adore their love story. The couple first got engaged in November 2002, but they broke off the engagement and ended their romance in 2004. Nearly 20 years later, they rekindled their old flame in 2021, tying the knot in 2022. Unfortunately, rumors of marital issues plagued their relationship in 2024. Several sources claim Lopez and Affleck are on the fast track to divorce.
Lopez announced the cancellation of her “This Is Me … Live” tour amid the rumors. A friend of Lopez’s told DailyMail.com that Lopez is willing to do anything to save her marriage, including sacrificing her career.
“She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice, including giving up being J.Lo,” a friend said, adding that Lopez doesn’t want to “be divorced or end up like Madonna — on her own at 60. She can’t bear the idea of failure.”
“I think you can already see her toning down the way she looks and obviously quitting this tour as well, to try to hang on to the marriage,” the source added. “She lets [Affleck] smoke, which is huge — she hates smoking, and to be around that as a singer is a straight no, but he never gave up when they were dating and married.
Another friend of Lopez said the star is being unfairly “dragged” amid the rumors. “She has been taking the blame for the end of the tour and the marriage, and the mockery of the world,” they said. “It is all the opposite of the truth.”
Ben Affleck allegedly thinks his wife takes on ‘mediocre projects’
Another source claims that Ben Affleck isn’t impressed with the creative projects that Jennifer Lopez takes on.
“Ben feels Jen needs to overhaul her career and have a better team behind her,” the insider told The Sun. “He has butted heads with some members for a while now, and it’s caused tension behind the scenes. He just wants what’s best for her and feels she’s doing a lot of mediocre projects and is surrounded by yes people who are also sometimes making decisions for her.”
The source added that Affleck doesn’t want Lopez to feel “disappointed” if one of her projects “doesn’t do well.”
Jennifer Lopez said she feels ‘heartsick’ to cancel her tour in 2024
Jennifer Lopez canceled her “This Is Me … Live” tour in 2024. She canceled to spend more time with family and friends.
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” Lopez told fans in a newsletter. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”
A source told People that Lopez feels “sad” but “relieved” to cancel the tour. “Life is a lot right now,” they said. “As sad as she was to cancel the tour, she’s also relieved. She needs to take care of herself.”
