Revenge is best served with success; this is exactly how Jennifer Lopez plans to redeem herself from the tragic year she has been experiencing since her divorce from Ben Affleck. In August 2024, the American singer decided to end their marriage of two years, citing irreconcilable differences, according to multiple well-known outlets.
It hasn’t necessarily been just the failed relationship that beat her down to a pulp, but also a botched tour plan and a whole lot of criticism for one of her latest movies, This Is Me… Now. However, the most skilled sailors are made by the roughest seas, and J-Lo isn’t backing down from achieving a massive goal that every actor in Hollywood works for.
Jennifer Lopez seeks revenge against Ben Affleck and aims for an Oscar win next year
Radar Online suggests that the latest update on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce is that it could take much longer than the actual marriage to settle. The source claims that Laura Wasser is trying to mediate the situation as several unresolved legal issues need attention, which can prolong the process.
But Lopez isn’t planning on letting this be the end of her reign in Hollywood. The On The Floor hitmaker wants to win an Oscar for her latest movie, Unstoppable, a story of a one-legged champion wrestler who defies all odds. A source told The Daily Mail,
She wants next year to be her best year ever to show the world her crummy love life did not get her down. She will rise… She wants an Oscar for Unstoppable. She is sensational in it, I saw the movie and wow, she nails it. I think a lot of people have discounted her acting skills because she is such a glamazon but this film is a wake-up call.
The source also mentioned that Lopez initially hoped she would win an Oscar for Hustlers, but there was too much “prejudice” against her at the time. They also believe that the divorce will help her get more votes this time around.
Ben Affleck hasn’t turned back in Jennifer Lopez’s direction since the divorce
While their marriage was on the rocks, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck spent their summers apart. This also means Lopez didn’t get to spend time with her husband during their anniversary, nor did she celebrate her birthday with him.
But Affleck, who has been trying to get things back on track in terms of his career, hasn’t turned back since the marriage ended. PEOPLE states that Affleck is “very focused on work and his kids”. The actor and director shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
According to PEOPLE, the two decided to put their $60 million Beverley Hills mansion on sale barely a few months ago. Affleck has since purchased a new house in Los Angeles, where he lived in a rental in Brentwood.
Sometime between the start of this year and June, Lopez and Affleck were seen together at various events, including his son’s graduation party with their wedding rings on. However, the latter had moved his belongings out of their Beverley Hills house a month before the singer filed for divorce.
