Jennifer Lopez Spotted Flying Economy Amid Reports of Ben Affleck Split ‘She’s Still Jenny from the Block’
Jennifer Lopez, who was caught traveling economy on a flight over the weekend, tried her best to keep a low profile. With an estimated net worth of $400 million, the diva demonstrated that she was still Jenny from the block on June 22 as she flew a two-and-a-half-hour journey from Naples, Italy to Paris, France.
Images acquired by MailOnline feature the 54-year-old singer seated at a window seat on an AirFrance aircraft, where rates start at €134 (£115/$136) and there is no business class cabin available. She appeared casually dressed in a white pullover and jogging shorts. Despite her wealth, Lopez chose to travel on a budget, storing her handbag in the middle seat.
She boarded the plane with her bodyguard seated in the aisle seat, and they went through security and customs together with the crowd. Lopez was traveling to complete her solo vacation in Italy and arrive in Paris just in time for Men’s Fashion Week. JLo’s choice to fly economy follows reports of financial setbacks and a troubled marriage to Ben Affleck.
During her vacation, she was allegedly in “good spirits” despite rumors of an “imminent” divorce. The couple, who recently purchased a $60 million marital residence in Beverly Hills, are reportedly attempting to discreetly sell it. The This Is Me… Live tour, which was scheduled to begin in July, was also canceled amid reports she wanted to spend more time with her family.
A source close to Entertainment Tonight revealed that Lopez chose to take a vacation in Europe since it seemed like she needed a break from everything she had gone through. “Jen loves vacationing in Europe during the summer. It’s been nice for her to experience a change of pace and have some breathing room,” the source explained. “She has been having a blast with her friends. They love to go to fun dinners, have late nights, lay out in the sun, get dressed up, dance, and shop.”
According to the insider, Affleck isn’t very interested in any of those things. “That’s never really been Ben’s scene, even when he and Jen weren’t having any issues,” the source added. “Jen isn’t letting the fact that Ben’s not there bring her down.” A close insider informed the Daily Mail that the Ain’t Your Mama singer has given up on attempting to save her marriage to Affleck, citing his constant “grumpiness and negativity” as the primary cause of their split.
“If people could see what she has really gone through, they would be easier on her. Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer,” the insider continued. Lopez’s decision to fly economy and her solo vacation reflect a woman seeking normalcy and a break from the tumultuous events in her personal life. Despite the challenges, she remains resilient and focused on finding joy and peace amidst the storm.
