From flying economy to selling mansion: How Jennifer Lopez may be toning down expenses and revamping her image amid split rumors
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez, a superstar known for her extravagant lifestyle, appears to be scaling back. Over her 25-year career, Lopez has often been seen on luxurious yachts or private jets. However, recent actions suggest she is adopting a more modest approach, as reported by The Daily Mail.
The 'On the Floor' singer, 54, has been spotted ditching her heels for comfy trainers and tracksuits and choosing practical hotels over private megayachts.
Jennifer Lopez's financial and marital struggles
Amid rumors of financial and marital issues, Lopez was seen flying economy on an Air France flight from Naples to Paris, with ticket prices starting at just €134 (£113/$143).
Typically dressed in designer outfits, the 'Maid in Manhattan' star opted for a low-key look with a white jumper and jogging bottoms.
Speculation about her scaling back has been linked to efforts to salvage her marriage with Ben Affleck, who is known for his aversion to fame.
Sources indicate that the couple has faced challenges exacerbated by financial disagreements. Reports suggest that Affleck has moved out of their $60 million Los Angeles mansion and into a rented $100,000-a-month property in Brentwood due to their differing lifestyles.
Lopez's recent actions reflect a shift in priorities. She enjoyed a solo trip to Italy with friends, contrasting sharply with her 2021 trip with Affleck, where they stayed on a $130 million yacht and traveled privately. In 2021, the couple's public displays of affection were widely covered, but this year's trip was notably more subdued.
In addition to the financial strain, Lopez self-financed a documentary accompanying her latest album 'This Is Me... Now', costing her $20 million. With initial financing falling through, Lopez decided to fund the project herself, highlighting her commitment to her work.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have now reportedly discreetly listed their Beverly Hills mansion, where they've resided since June 2023, on the market.
According to a source, neither Lopez nor Affleck have been satisfied with the $61 million property.
"Ben never liked the house. It's too far from his kids," shares a source close to Lopez. Regarding the singer-actress, the source adds, "The house is way too big for her."
Representatives for Affleck and Lopez have not commented on reports of the sale. The couple purchased the $61 million mansion in the spring of 2023, following their marriage in July 2022.
JLo's professional endeavors and future plans
In the wake of her personal challenges, Lopez has also canceled her 'This Is Me... Live tour', which was set to begin in July before her 55th birthday.
The cancellation was attributed to her desire to spend more time with her family. Despite the setbacks, her film career remains strong. She is set to promote two upcoming films produced by Affleck and her Netflix sci-fi action movie 'Atlas' continues to perform well on the platform.
Lopez's recent actions suggest a strategic effort to balance her professional commitments with personal well-being. By adopting a more low-key lifestyle, she appears to be addressing both her financial and marital challenges while continuing to thrive in her career.
