Celebrity spouses Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to be on shaky ground. The pair has reportedly been dealing with many issues lately that have affected their relationship. But now it looks as if their problems are bleeding over to the business side of things, and JLo is allegedly having a tough time dealing with it.
Jennifer Lopez’s Devotion to Ben Affleck Sinks Album
It is no secret that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s love story was of huge interest to fans the first time around. But fans have reportedly begun to lose interest since the couple reunited and married. Today, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all the rage and tough to compete with.
Even Jennifer’s former publicist, Rob Shuter, believes that JLo’s obsession with Ben Affleck has reportedly hurt her career. According to the New York Post, he thinks Ben is why Jen is not quite on top of her game.
“This Is Me…Now” is Jennifer Lopez’s first album in 10 years. Unfortunately, it is not doing well. It debuted at 38 on the Billboard 200 before dropping rapidly off the charts in February. According to Shuter, if Jen is looking for the reason, she must look no further than Ben.
The couple’s marriage has been reportedly in decline for several months. One reason could be that Jen blames Ben for the failure of her album. She has focused too much on Ben in the album and is beginning to realize that Bennifer is over in more ways than one.
“Bennifer” Is Over
Jennifer Lopez’s former publicist, Rob, states, “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. But no one cares about “Bennifer” anymore. The world has moved on.”
She is also very nervous about the companion movie “The Is Me Now: A Love Story.” Sources close to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck claim that “the project was a complete misfire.” This is a blow to not only her ego but also her bank account.
The singer was so confident that the album and documentary would be a huge success that she invested $20 million in the project. Now that the album and documentary are failing, Jen needs someone to blame, and that person could be Ben. Everything is on the line. This is a situation she has never faced before. If the rumors are true, Jennifer Lopez could lose everything now that her fans reportedly no longer care about “Bennifer.”
