Jennifer Lopez Feels “Totally Cursed” After Ben Affleck Split, Sources Say, as Brett Goldstein Romance Rumors Grow
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly facing mounting financial pressure following her split from Ben Affleck, even as she continues to live a high-profile and expensive lifestyle. According to an insider cited by Radar Online, Lopez spends heavily each month on private jets, designer clothing, spa treatments, and a large support staff that includes private chefs. The source said she is generous with the people around her and believes she has earned the right to enjoy the rewards of her long career.
The report says Lopez’s finances have been strained in recent years after a series of professional setbacks. In 2024, she allegedly suffered a major loss when her album This Is Me… Now and her $20 million self-financed film underperformed. She also canceled part of her tour, though she later rebounded with a successful Las Vegas residency. Despite remaining a wealthy public figure on paper, the source claimed her recent earnings and cash flow have been more limited than expected.
A major source of stress is reportedly the Beverly Hills mansion she shared with Affleck. The couple bought the property in 2023 for $60 million, and it is said to cost about $284,000 a month to maintain. The home has reportedly been difficult to sell, even after multiple price reductions. In April, Affleck allegedly transferred his stake in the house to Lopez, leaving her responsible for the property’s financial burden. The insider described the mansion as a costly and emotionally painful reminder of the relationship that ended.
The source said the home was once Lopez’s dream house, but now feels like a burden that symbolizes lost love and wasted money. Lopez reportedly has tried to create new memories there, but without success. The emotional impact of the breakup is said to be as significant as the financial strain, with the house serving as a constant reminder of what she and Affleck once had.
The report also connects Lopez’s current media attention to her new film Office Romance, where she has been linked to Brett Goldstein. While romance rumors have been denied, the two have reportedly sparked interest with public chemistry and promotional appearances. According to the source, Lopez understands that leaning into that buzz benefits the movie and helps maintain her public profile. It also reportedly gives her an ego boost after a difficult divorce.
The insider added that a playful, staged romance may feel safer for Lopez than entering a real relationship so soon after her split. The report says she still feels deeply hurt that her marriage to Affleck did not work out and sees the breakup as a major emotional blow. Even so, Lopez is expected to continue leveraging her star power, managing her business interests, and working toward stabilizing both her career and her finances.
