Jennifer Lopez has been making headlines for several reasons. As a triple threat with an acting, dancing, and singing career, JLo is one talented woman. However, she recently took some big risks in her career, and although she’s one of the most recognizable celebrities in Hollywood, things haven’t panned out the way she’s wanted. All of this stress is accompanied by the never-ending rumors about her marriage to Ben Affleck. Sadly, Lopez is said to be devasted by the latest developments in her life.
JLo recently dropped a new album titled This Is Me…Now. While the singer was likely hopeful that the record would be a hit for her, that hasn’t proven to be true. Lopez reportedly spent $20 million of her own money to make the album. She even did a ton of press and released a documentary to help promote it all. However, sales have been subpar.
Jennifer Lopez Dealing with Career Drama and Ben Affleck Marriage Rumors
“JLo’s devastated the album, her first in nearly a decade, did so poorly. She’s never experienced this kind of failure. It’s humiliating,” a source told In Touch. “She poured her heart and soul into this project. It was a huge undertaking.”
Jennifer Lopez’s new album and short film is mainly focused on her love story with husband Ben Affleck. The two were previously engaged in the early 2000s, but called off their wedding and eventually split. Nearly 20 years later, they stunned fans by getting back together. They tied the knot in 2022. Although, one insider says that JLo’s mistake is leaning too heavily into her and Affleck’s story and former fame.
“Jennifer’s always been a marketing and PR genius but her biggest miscalculation here is that she thinks the world is still interested in Ben and Jennifer’s love story,” he told the outlet in March 2024. “But no one cares about Bennifer anymore. The world has moved on.”
Jennifer Lopez was even reportedly forced to cancel some concert dates due to poor sales. Unfortunately, the career miscue comes as rumors continue to fly about problems within her marriage with Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, fans will have to wait to see how JLo handles all the stress, and what her next move will be.
