Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have one of the most interesting celebrity relationships in Hollywood. The couple’s love story spans decades and includes an epic reunion after nearly 20 years of being apart. However, since the pair reunited in 2021, JLo’s career has seemingly been in a decline. Sources are now claiming that her marriage to the actor and director could be a huge reason why she’s no longer the big name that she once was. Could Affleck be having a negative influence on his wife’s work?
JLo is known as a triple threat due to her acting, singing, and dancing skills. However, her most recent album, This Is Me…Now, hasn’t performed the way she would have liked. In addition, ticket sales for her tour have reportedly been low as well. The singer was forced to cancel several tour dates due to low ticket sales. She also rebranded her tour in hopes of selling more tickets amid the album flop, reports Variety.
Ben Affleck Blamed for Jennifer Lopez Career Decline
One PR expert, Emily M. Auston, is weighing in on Affleck’s impact on Lopez’s career, and it isn’t pretty. Auston claims that Jennifer Lopez’s decline all started with her Super Bowl documentary titled Halftime, which was released in 2022. She also claims that JLo’s struggles continued after being seen in public with Ben Affleck, who looked less than enthusiastic to be with her, per Geo.
“Often looking miserable. This has shattered the fourth wall, one which we’d all bought into. We didn’t want her to be a normal person,” the PR Expert stated. “The big challenge with a star like JLo is staying power. As her fans have grown older with her, she’s not done a good enough job of engaging with new fans and bringing them on the journey with her.”
Since tying the knot in 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have often become the subject of rumors about their careers, families, and marriage. Near constant reports of problems in their relationship have been reported, and fans aren’t sure what to believe. However, it seems unfair to blame Affleck for JLo’s career fluctuations. However, the couple is no stranger to controversy.
