Jennifer Lopez is reportedly navigating her ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck by immersing herself in a rigorous fitness routine, as revealed by a new report from Life & Style. The Atlas star, who filed for divorce in April 2024, seems to be channeling her emotional turmoil into her workouts and diet.
As Ben Affleck is rumored to be romantically involved with 36-year-old Kick Kennedy, Lopez appears to be using the gym as her refuge. A source close to the singer and actress shared, “She’s working out like crazy, mornings and afternoons for hours at a time.” This intense focus on her physical fitness is reportedly Lopez’s way of coping with the stress of her high-profile separation.
The tipster also hinted that Lopez’s stringent diet might be taking a toll on her overall well-being. “She’s not eating nearly enough, just salads by the look of her,” the source disclosed. The combination of exhaustive workouts and limited food intake seems to be affecting Lopez’s mood and energy levels. “No wonder she’s walking around with a rumbling tummy and is cranky,” the insider added.
The emotional strain of the divorce is evident, as Lopez reportedly has become more reactive and sensitive to everyday situations. “She flies off the handle quite easily and gets emotional about stuff she wouldn’t have batted an eyelid over before,” the source remarked, highlighting the toll the split has taken on her mental and emotional state.
While Lopez’s dedication to her fitness is admirable, the insider’s comments suggest that her extreme approach may be a double-edged sword, providing temporary relief while also exacerbating her emotional and physical exhaustion. The pressures of maintaining her public image, combined with the personal challenges of her divorce, have pushed Lopez into a routine that keeps her “sane” but also seems to be leaving her drained.
As the Atlas star continues to navigate this difficult chapter of her life, it remains to be seen how she will balance her intense fitness regimen with her overall health and well-being.
