Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez at Giorgio Baldi on Sunday night. I?ve seen some outlets claim that she was ?dining alone,? but she was clearly out with a couple of girlfriends and one of those ladies drove J.Lo away from the restaurant. Giorgio Baldi is one of the most popular restaurants in LA and it?s become something of a celebrity hot-spot. During Rihanna?s pregnancies, she was there practically every week, sometimes multiple times a week. My point is that J.Lo knew she would be photographed and she either wanted to be seen or she didn?t care that she was seen. Considering the weekend was full of ?imminent divorce? rumors, it feels like Jennifer wanted to be seen out and about. Is the message ?I?m not hiding away??
Notably, Jennifer is still wearing her wedding band and her green-diamond engagement ring. She?s been wearing her wedding ring this whole time, I think? Meanwhile, Ben has been seen recently without his ring at times, and wearing his ring at other times. You guys know I don?t put a lot of stock in Ring Watch, but I do think Jen is sending a message by getting pap?d this weekend with her rings. ET also confirmed that Jen and Ben are ?quietly? trying to offload their $60.8 million Beverly Hills mansion, which seems to be the root of the divorce rumors in recent days. Maybe it?s just? selling a house which doesn?t work for them, but Ben and Jennifer are still working on their marriage?
And finally, Meghan McCain recently said that when J.Lo appeared on The View, Jen was ?deeply unpleasant? and ?not a nice person.? Again, that?s coming from Meghan McCain, who is one of the biggest aholes in the country.

Last Friday, Jennifer Lopez announced the cancelation of her This Is Me? Live Tour, which was supposed to start this summer. Jennifer has been in the dance studio for months, working out the show, so it came as a surprise in a narrow way Jennifer is a workaholic and it felt like she would just barrel through with the tour, even as her life was falling apart. Now, that being said, I?m sure she was hurt by the poor ticket sales and the general ambivalence towards the album and the tour too. It was going to be a flop tour to support a flop album and the optics would have been awful. Jennifer spent the weekend being seen out and about in LA, going to the farmer?s market with Emme and going to her stepson?s basketball game. According to People Mag, J.Lo?s life is ?a lot right now.?
Jennifer Lopez is taking time to recalibrate her life after canceling her upcoming tour. A source close to the singer-actress tells PEOPLE that Lopez is devastated to call off her summer concert tour but understands the extra time to dedicate to herself and her loved ones is key.
Life is a lot right now. As sad as she was to cancel the tour, she?s also relieved. She needs to take care of herself, says the source.
The decision was something that her team encouraged, the source adds. Everyone is supportive of her focusing on family right now.
Lopezs This Is Me Live tour, in support of her latest album but also rebranded to be a greatest hits concert, was set to kick off June 26 in Orlando, Florida, and travel for shows in Austin, Dallas, Las Vegas, Miami, Toronto, New York City, Boston and more. It would have been her first tour since 2019s Its My Party Tour.
The news comes as sources told PEOPLE that Lopezs marriage with husband Ben Affleck is not in the best place at the moment. The two, who famously rekindled their decades-old romance before marrying in 2022, have been living under different roofs while both in Los Angeles.

It feels like no one is capable of giving both Jennifer and Ben the benefit of the doubt here. I think it?s more than possible that Ben gave her an ultimatum: it?s our marriage or this dumb tour. As in, you need to stick around this summer and we need to spend time as a family, or else it?s over. Now, was Ben also following the fact that the concert tickets weren?t selling and the whole thing was going to be a disaster? For sure. Anyway, I genuinely hope that Jennifer spends the summer? chilling out with her kids and stepkids and working on her marriage.

Good lord, there are so many strong opinions about Bennifer these days. Strong opinions about Bennifer the couple, and strong opinions about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck individually. For what it?s worth, I?m still rooting for Bennifer as a couple but I acknowledge that both Ben and Jen can be (and often are) enormously problematic. That being said, there?s way too much bullying of J.Lo these days and it?s giving me flashbacks to the original Bennifer relationship, where there were all of these racist dogwhistles thrown around about Jen, and she was given sole agency over a complicated relationship and failed engagement. Jennifer is an ahole? but so is Ben.
Last Friday, Jennifer announced that she was canceling her planned tour in support of her flop album, This Is Me? Now. The ticket sales were in the toilet and very few people wanted any of this. Instead of refusing to acknowledge that and barreling ahead with the tour, J.Lo waved the white flag. She clearly wants to spend this summer working on her marriage too, which I think is a good idea.
On Sunday, Jen stepped out with Ben at his son Samuel?s basketball game. Jennifer Garner was there too, but everyone arrived separately. Ben and J.Lo greeted each other with air kisses, but? they left together and Ben drove them to Jack In the Box for lunch. It?s all very suburban. J.Lo used to like that about Ben, that he was a normal guy from Boston who loves his Dunkin and his fast food. Does she still love it?
Also: I fking LOVE J.Lo?s jeans in these photos. They?re so retro! Like, she wore this kind of cut during the original Bennifer relationship. Everything about her style here is so 2003 to me.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez on May 24th her Atlas promotion was over and she was back in the dance studio, preparing for her tour, one would assume. Her manager Benny Medina was with her. I have to say, I find it fascinating to see how Benny is handling the Bennifer drama. He?s really keeping calm and not panicking he?s letting the split rumors hang around (there doesn?t seem to be anything he can do about that), but he?s not making it worse or making any big pronouncements about ?it?s over? or ?of course they?ll absolutely reconcile.? That?s the general vibe coming from J.Lo and Ben Affleck too it?s like they?re giving each other time and space, and in that time and space, they?re not consumed with melodrama about their marriage. This seems to be the message coming from Jennifer?s camp:
Jennifer Lopez is keeping up her busy work schedule as rumors continue to surround her and Ben Affleck.
?They?re still living separately, a source close to Lopez tells PEOPLE. ?She?s back in L.A. for tour rehearsals. She seems okay. She?s very focused on work.
Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, spent Mothers Day apart and have been living under different roofs in Los Angeles. Lopezs latest film Atlas debuted over Memorial Day weekend as the No. 1 movie on Netflix in 55 countries, according to the streaming service, adding that the sci-fi movie attracted 28.2 million views. On top of the new movie, Lopez is also preparing to embark on a North American summer tour that begins in Orlando on June 26.

It feels possible, to me, that this is less about a permanent estrangement and more about Ben and Jen?s busy schedules this summer. Ben is still filming The Accountant 2, Jennifer is preparing to go on the road in a month. Hopefully, they?re too busy to get a divorce and after a summer apart, they?ll get back together and everything will be all good. This is me being a delusional Bennifer stan. Speaking of, Jennifer Garner also hopes for the best with Ben and J.Lo:
Jennifer Garner is hoping for the best for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. As Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, experience marriage troubles just under two years since tying the knot, a source tells PEOPLE that Garner wants the best for ex-husband Affleck.
She wants him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible, says the source. Garner, 52, and Affleck share three kids: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
The source adds that Garner, who is dating chairman and CEO of Cali Group John Miller, likes that [Lopez] lives a healthy lifestyle and supports Ben?s sobriety. Jen wants that for Ben.
[From People]
Yeah, while I have never believed that Garner and Lopez get along, I think they appreciate each other. Lopez loves Garner?s kids, Garner loves that Lopez is sober and healthy. I don?t know, I don?t think there?s a lot of drama there.

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez on Tuesday, May 28. She grabbed lunch at the Maybourne Hotel, then went to her Beverly Hills office. Ben was not with her. While Ben and Jen did a few things together last week for their kids/stepkids, Ben also went solo to his daughter Violet?s high school graduation party. I remember hearing, several years ago, that Violet isn?t crazy about J.Lo, but it might have just been a rumor. Backgrid, the photo agency, also claims that J.Los lunch date yesterday was none other than Violet Affleck, so maybe Jennifer took her stepdaughter out to lunch for a graduation treat and an apology for missing Violets graduation. Anyway, the vibe around Bennifer is still ?up in the air.? Whatever is happening between them, they?re still talking and spending time with each other, but Ben is maintaining a separate home in Brentwood.
Meanwhile, Jennifer?s career these days is a mixed bag. She has yet another streaming hit with Atlas, her poorly-reviewed Netflix movie. The numbers are great though, and clearly, people love that J.Lo makes Prime and Netflix movies that they can watch from the comfort of home. Unfortunately, people do not want to leave the house to support her musical career though. Not only were her concert ticket sales severely underwhelming, but it looks like her reported $90 million Las Vegas residency is in jeopardy too:
Jennifer Lopez was recently in talks for a $90 million Las Vegas residency ? but the blockbuster deal now looks shaky at best as her new album and upcoming concert tour are flopping badly, The Post has learned. The embattled pop diva ? whose headline-grabbing marriage to Ben Affleck is reportedly crumbling ? recently had been in talks with MGM Grand on a guaranteed $1 million a show for 90 dates starting next year, a source close to the situation told The Post.
But casino executives have lately grown skittish over abysmal ticket sales for her first tour in five years following the release of her ?This is Me ? Now? album in February ? with poor demand having forced the cancellation of seven shows this summer, the source said. No Vegas deal has yet to be announced. That?s despite a report from The Mirror on Feb. 2 that MGM had teamed up with Live Nation to offer more than $800,000 a show. Rival casino Resorts World upped the bidding to $875,000 per show in partnership with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) soon after, sources said.
MGM and Live Nation then swooped in with the $1 million-a-show offer for the ?Let?s Get Loud? singer ? but buyer?s remorse has lately set in, the first source said.
?MGM is watching her not doing well on the road. They are very nervous,? the person said. ?It?s pretty rare you have a poor tour and then go to Vegas.?
Now, the Bronx-born star could be looking at a significant haircut to the $90 million windfall. A Lopez residency should fetch just $600,000 to $650,000 and be for fewer shows, the source said. Another source with knowledge of the MGM talks said no deal was ever signed, but discussions have continued.
[From The NY Post]
Here?s the thing I don?t think it necessarily follows that ?if you can?t sell out a tour for an unpopular album, then your Vegas residency will be unpopular too.? People will actually want to see J.Lo in Vegas, for the spectacle of it, for the dancing and for her greatest hits. Like, This Is Me? Now is not a good album and even hardcore J.Lo fans were not supporting that mess. But those fans will come back for a ?greatest hits? residency. Waiting for Tonight! Jenny From the Block! I?m Real! Love Don?t Cost A Thing! Let?s Get Loud!

Here are more photos of Jennifer Lopez in Mexico City this week, as she?s promoting her Netflix film Atlas. Last night, I watched The Greatest Love Story Never Told again, the documentary she made concurrently with the musical-film This Is Me? Now. Tonight I might re-watch Halftime, the documentary she made in 2019-2020. I?m a big fan of Halftime it showed an artist and entertainer who had matured, who was politically active, who was still dealing with constant disrespect from multiple industries but still grinding. TGLSNT felt like a regression, like getting back with Ben Affleck undid all of the work she had done on herself for 18-plus years. That being said, rewatching TGLSNT made me feel like Ben and Jen were going to be okay, that they would figure out their sh-t. But yeah, the sh-t about showing Ben?s love letters to dozens of people is still not okay.
Anyway, I still don?t know what to make of Bennifer?s current drama. They?re living separately, but they?re still talking and seeing each other. Jennifer?s people aren?t stopping the rumor mill, but they?re also not making any big announcements. Post-TGLSNT, I know Jen is going to be ride-or-die until the wheels come off. Ben?s another story altogether. While Jen was in Mexico City, at the press conference or media event, a Mexican journalist tried to ask her about Ben and the rumors:

Jennifer Lopez stepped out solo to the LA premiere of Atlas last night. There was some talk about whether all of the Bennifer drama was lowkey promotion so that all eyes would be on this premiere? but now that I?m looking at the photos, no, that?s not the case. Jennifer looks so sad, drawn and she?s lost weight recently. Ben Affleck?s absence on the carpet is very noticeable. Jennifer did pose happily with her costars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, but overall? a solitary appearance.
In the past 24 hours, the gossip about the Bennifer marriage has heated up. Page Six reports that Ben has ?come to his senses? lately and he feels divorce is inevitable. A source told the outlet: ?If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would. He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he?s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.? I mean? it was a fever dream which he asked for, that he wanted. None of this would have happened if Ben hadn?t started writing love letters to J.Lo while she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez! Meanwhile, People Mag had this:
Over the weekend Jennifer and Ben were photographed smiling together, and theyve continued wearing their wedding rings in public, though multiple sources indicated to PEOPLE that theres a strain on their relationship.
They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention. Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach, one insider says.
A source in the film industry says Affleck, 51, has always been impressed by Lopezs work ethic and success in the industry, however, always sharing her life is not his way.
Even though he admires that about her, it doesn?t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers. There is no question their different styles clash, adds that source.
A third source, from the music world, says Lopez, 54, needs that expression but Affleck simply is not comfortable with it.
After a while it causes tension in the relationship, says the source. He is more introspective and private. She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. This makes them considerably different, and it has been difficult in the day-to-day relationship.
There have always been clashes in their styles, how they handle issues, and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years, the source says. This is a great love story.
[From People]
I hate to say this, but yeah? I was right to be concerned about Jennifer?s whole This Is Me Now crap. She really did lose the plot. The visual album/movie and the documentary were way too much. The fact that she shared Ben?s letters with songwriters and producers was a huge overstep. Her need to document this ?love story? for public consumption was a huge error. Now Ben is using all of that against her. I mean? neither one of them has learned a thing, that?s what makes them perfect for one another. But yiiikes.

Y?all, I don?t even know what?s happening with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez anymore. InTouch Weekly got the ball rolling last week when they claimed that Original Bennifer was headed for divorce and it wasn?t even Ben?s fault. That?s when other outlets got involved People Magazine reported that Ben and J.Lo hadn?t been seen together in 47 days, then their sources confirmed that Ben and Jen were living separately in LA. Us Weekly?s sources claimed that they?ve been on the outs for weeks, if not months. Then on Friday, they were seen together at a school play for one of Ben?s kids they arrived separately but they were photographed together.
These photos are from Sunday Jennifer arrived at a Brentwood movie theater separately from Ben, but they ended up leaving together and grabbing dinner at BOA Steakhouse. He drove, they were photographed at multiple locations and they seemed to be sending a signal to the public that they?re not divorcing? yet. They?re working through their sh-t, maybe. It?s worth noting that Friday?s joint appearance was for one of Ben?s kids, and Sunday?s theater trip was seemingly for a school event for Emme. So Ben and Jen are still showing up for their stepkids. And I?ve always felt that Ben completely adores Emme in particular. I wonder if Emme is telling them to work out their sh-t.
Over the weekend, a source told Entertainment Tonight: Jen and Bens relationship is not over yet, but they have been staying in separate homes and the tension has been high. They are taking a second to figure out what each of them is going through and wants. Both of them have been very down. High tension? Okay. Ben was also seen without his wedding ring over the weekend, but he wore his ring for Sunday?s outing.
Again, Jennifer has a movie premiere tonight. Will Ben show up? Is this all just gossip for Jen to promote her movie? Or is this just two melodramatic Leos being melodramatic??

Jennifer Lopez has been stepping out solo a lot lately. For weeks, she?s been photographed without her husband in New York and LA. I?ve sort of quietly noted all of the photos and just thought ?well, Jennifer and Ben Affleck have different things going on, they?re not joined at the hip.? It doesn?t really help that J.Lo is in a weird place professionally at the moment. Jennifer?s ?This Is Me? Now? projects were flops and her attempt to organize a tour around the album flopped too, although there is some kind of ?greatest hits? tour coming. There?s a lot of hate for J.Lo on TikTok too and? I don?t know, the vibe is off somewhere. I?m not sure the weird vibes are coming from her marriage, but In Touch Weekly is claiming that Ben and Jen are on the rocks and headed for divorce.
Ben Affleck has hit a breaking point with Jennifer Lopez and has ?moved out? of the home they share, a source exclusively tells In Touch.
?The writing is on the wall ? it?s over,? the insider dishes. ?They?re headed for a divorce ? and for once, [Ben?s] not to blame!?
Fans have noticed that Ben and Jennifer have been spending increasing amounts of time apart in recent weeks. The actor did not attend the Met Gala with his wife on May 6, despite her important position as co-chair of the event. Ben?s official excuse for missing the Met Gala was that he was busy filming The Accountant 2, but In Touch?s source says he ?decided to call it quits? on his marriage to the A-list singer.
?He?s focusing on his work and his kids now,? the insider adds. ?Ben already moved out and they?ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They?ll never stop loving each other, but she can?t control him, and he can?t change her. There?s no way it could have lasted.?
Unfortunately, compromising ended up being harder than the couple thought. ?They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn?t make it work,? the insider explains. ?They both said they?d matured and learned from their mistakes, but some of the bigger issues that tore them apart the first time remained the same.?
[From In Touch Weekly]
Lord, I hope this isn?t true. They waited so long, they?re in such a different place in their lives than the first go-around, I want to believe that this is just about two people with busy schedules. The thing about real estate is weird too, because Jennifer has been looking at other houses, but I think that?s just her thing? She likes real estate, she likes looking at houses, she and Ben couldn?t decide on a new house for two years. Like? if Bennifer splits again, I will be so sad. These two Leos are perfect for each other.

It genuinely shocked me to see how many celebrities interpreted ?The Garden of Time? to mean ?metallics, icy, sand/beige, silver and white.? I think most people were expecting florals, colorful looks and interesting vintage. That?s not what we got. Jennifer Lopez, one of the Met Gala co-chairs, kind of got it wrong. That being said, this is one of her best red carpet looks in a while. J.Lo went with a custom Schiaparelli Couture and this is very sexy, flattering, all of it. I wish her makeup had been different, but overall, I really liked this.
Chris Hemsworth was another co-chair who did not really go for the theme. Chris and Elsa Pataky both wore Tom Ford, and Elsa wore a crown. Just? boring, really. The more I look at Chris?s look, the more Miami Vice it seems.
Phoebe Dynevor went for a woodland fairy vibe in this Victoria Beckham. I thought she looked cute, honestly. She wasn?t shooting for the moon, she just wanted to look pretty and she wanted something sort of comfortable.
