In a recent episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Jennifer Lopez opened up about her weight loss journey while filming her upcoming movie, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”
The 54-year-old superstar revealed that she has been shedding pounds, and interestingly, her reduced appetite coincides with some tension in her relationship with Ben Affleck.
Lopez described her experience on set as a mix of excitement and exhaustion.
“It was all singing and dancing, which was both thrilling and tiring at the same time,” she shared.
Feeling more fit than ever, she confidently stated, “I’m in fighting shape right now.”
Her fitness coaches, Dodd-Romero and Tracy Anderson, echoed her sentiments, praising her dedication and resilience.
According to them, Lopez never complains and is always ready to tackle any challenge they throw her way.
However, the backdrop of her fitness journey is clouded by rumors surrounding her relationship with Affleck.
Reports from earlier this year hinted that the couple might be heading for a split.
While they have made appearances together for their children’s events, sources suggest that Affleck is still living separately from Lopez.
An insider claimed, “This will go down as the divorce of the century,” despite Lopez’s insistence that everything is fine.
On the other hand, Ben Affleck seems to be going through his own transformation amid these swirling rumors.
Following the alleged split, he has reportedly been focusing on his fitness, trying to build muscle and improve his physique.
Interestingly, even though he indulged in fast food during this challenging period, he’s now shifting gears to prioritize his health.
Affleck has always had a love-hate relationship with workouts, especially when it comes to leg exercises.
Sources close to him revealed that he has been diligent with his cardio and upper body strength training, primarily motivated by a fear of losing his physique.
“He’s terrified of letting his pecs go droopy and developing man b–bs,” the insider noted, highlighting Affleck’s insecurities.
Despite his aversion to leg workouts, there’s a sense of urgency for Affleck to get into peak shape, especially as he re-enters the dating scene.
With the help of trainers, he’s eliminating junk food and cigarettes from his life, making physical improvements a top priority.
Rumors suggest he may even consider getting new tattoos soon, adding another layer to his evolving persona.
The speculation surrounding their relationship intensified earlier this year when both stars were spotted without their wedding rings during the summer months.
As they approach their second wedding anniversary, it’s clear that their bond remains amicable, particularly when it comes to co-parenting their children.
Lopez was even present at the graduation of Affleck’s daughter, Violet, showcasing their commitment to family.
Professionally, both Lopez and Affleck continue to thrive despite personal challenges.
Lopez recently starred in the film “Relentless,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
This project was produced by Artists’ Equity, the production company founded by Affleck and Matt Damon, further intertwining their professional lives.
