Jenifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly seeking legal advice as their marriage faces mounting pressure, with the couple having invested heavily in a joint business venture, sources revealed to sydtomarket.net.
At 54, J Lo is said to be making calculated moves to protect her image, attempting to dispel notions of reckless spending on a “lavish lifestyle” while the couple disentangles their brand contracts.
Frustrated with being portrayed as the difficult partner in her marriage to Jennifer Lopez and Ben was seen flying economy on a trip to Paris after canceling her summer tour. The move, perceived as a “savvy” decision, was an effort to show she’s not squandering money, according to insiders.
With her marriage to the Gone Girl actor in turmoil and after pouring millions into various projects, including a pair of poorly received documentaries, J Lo’s public image is under intense scrutiny.
The couple has reportedly been living separately since Ben moved out of their shared mansion and into a rental property in Brentwood in early May.
“Jennifer flying economy is her way of showing she’s not indulging in a lavish lifestyle,” an insider commented, adding that the dissolution of Bennifer 2.0 could signal the collapse of their once-thriving brand.
“Most of their plans hinged on them working together, and now they have to dissolve several contracts,” the source claimed.
While legal negotiations are ongoing, the situation is further complicated by the completion of the sports biopic Unstoppable, produced by Affleck and starring Lopez. The estranged couple, who share five children between them, face the challenge of promoting the Amazon project later this year.
“Promoting it together seems unlikely,” a source revealed. “They want to be professional but it’s an awkward situation.”
Amid all this, Lopez spent the July 4th holiday in Europe, while Affleck was seen moving his belongings out of their $60 million marital home, which is now on the market. He has since relocated to a $100,000 per month rental near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and has been spotted without his wedding ring, fueling further divorce rumors.
