Jennifer Lopez 'haunted' by Ben Affleck split as career comeback falls flat

Jennifer Lopez is said to be facing the most challenging periods of her career and personal life.

As the singer and actress continues to recover from her divorce from Ben Affleck, she is also dealing with mounting financial pressures.

Insiders have told Radar Online that Lopez has been struggling emotionally since the end of her marriage to Affleck, whom she believed would be her longtime partner. "It still cuts deep for J.Lo that she and Ben couldn't make things work."

The sources claim that the songstress has lived a lavish life, noting, "Every month, she'll drop hundreds of thousands on private jets, designer duds, spa days, you name it."

"she is extremely generous with everyone in her life," the source added.

However, they further shared that despite the major financial setback in 2024, "Jennifer is still an extremely wealthy individual who's worth hundreds of millions on paper."

"But as far as cash flow and recent earnings go, it's been a struggle," they said. "J.Lo is smart enough to know that playing things up for the cameras is only going to benefit the movie, so that's her primary reason for this flirt-fest with Brett."

"But more than that, it does boost her ego and so it has that additional bonus," the source said.

On the other hand, the sources revealed that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's lavish Beverly Hills mansion, purchased for approximately $60 million, has remained on the market despite repeated efforts to sell it, forcing the popstar to continue covering substantial maintenance costs.

Reports indicate she recently reduced the asking price by nearly $20 million in hopes of attracting buyers. "It started out as the house of her dreams but is now a metaphorical noose around her neck and the embodiment of a money pit."

"There's also the emotional pain she has to contend with since it serves as this constant reminder of what she and Ben once had and couldn't hold onto," the source added.
