After a breakup, some people date, some people go to the gym, and throw themselves into their careers, but Jennifer Lopez is allegedly dealing with her divorce from Ben Affleck by spending an “outrageous” amount on quite a few things.
Sources told InTouch Weekly that Lopez is “throwing around money like she’s a billionaire right now, which just isn’t the case,” and is allegedly spending big on an entourage, a new home, and more.
Jennifer Lopez Is Allegedly Spending an ‘Outrageous’ Amount on This Amid Ben Affleck Divorce
“She’s beefing up her entourage, which means her weekly spending has instantly tripled because when she goes anywhere, they all go with her,” the source said. “She’s treating herself to outrageous shopping sprees. She calls it retail therapy and says she needs it, but the bills are outrageous. She’s regularly spending a few $100,000 a day on designer clothes for her and her entourage. The way she’s hemorrhaging money right now is madness, but she says it makes her happy so it’s worth it — end of story.”
However, she’s allegedly ignoring how she has to probably doll out a lot on the divorce, and for a new home. They said, “It’s become very clear now that there’s no getting out of paying Ben half of what she made during their marriage, which is obviously not sitting well with her.”
(Insiders also claimed earlier this year that she’s even willing to spend a bunch on lawyers amid this divorce).
Now, you may be wondering: how much money does Lopez have? Per Celebrity Net Worth, she reportedly makes around $40 million per year due to her entertainment projects and business ventures like JLo Beauty, her spritz brand Delola, her lifestyle brand, and her footwear line, JLO Jennifer Lopez.
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez
For those who don’t know, Lopez and Affleck met on the set of the film Gigli. They started dating soon after and got engaged by the end of 2002.
In 2003, they postponed their wedding and then broke up days before, due to the paparazzi and pressure they faced, and were broken up by 2004.
Then, in 2021, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance. A year later, they got engaged and married in a lavish ceremony. Then, after months of speculation, per TMZ, Lopez filed for divorce on Aug. 20, noting the date of separation is April 26, 2024.
