The greatest love story ever told seems to have finally come to an end. Jennifer Lopez reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August. After months of media speculation about the couple’s separation, the news was finally confirmed. While both have not given any statements, the paparazzi seem to be getting daily updates.
After two years of marriage and many years of on-and-off relationship with Affleck, Lopez is reportedly ready to move on. However, sources close to the pop star revealed that JLo might be looking to date someone younger than her to boost her confidence. Her friends and team are reportedly not happy with this idea.
Jennifer Lopez Wants To Date A Zac Efron Type After Ben Affleck
After two years of marriage, Hollywood’s greatest love story, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, reportedly called it quits earlier this year. The couple were allegedly separated for months before the pop star filed for divorce from Affleck in August, two years after their Georgia wedding.
While Affleck is reportedly moving into a new place and focusing on his work, Lopez, too, has started to work on moving on. According to Closer, the pop star wants to date someone younger like Zac Efron to prove that she could ‘bag a hot, young Hollywood man’. Sources reportedly told the magazine that she had closed the book on Affleck.
However, not everyone on her team is reportedly on board with Lopez’s rebound plan. Sources close to the pop star reportedly mentioned to Closer that her team was cautioning her against certain types.
She loves the idea of dating a hunk like Joe Jonas or Zac Efron, but pals think it could be a dangerous move and that she should be searching for love and security when she’s ready. But more worrying for her team is someone like Pete Davidson, as he’s been in rehab and Jen might think she could end up trying to save him.
The sources also reportedly mentioned that JLo was not looking for something serious at the moment and wanted to have fun.
