Jennifer Lopez Ditches Affleck: Next Hit Movie Without The Heartthrob!

Jennifer Lopez is already on to her next movie after promoting Kiss Of The Spider Woman with ex-husband Ben Affleck in Manhattan all week

SCANDALOUS SIGHTINGS: JENNIFER LOPEZ'S SHOCKING TRANSFORMATION

Jennifer Lopez, the 56-year-old queen of pop and drama, is already gearing up for her next big role in the movie "The Last Mrs. Parrish" after promoting "Kiss Of The Spider Woman" with ex-husband Ben Affleck in Manhattan all week. And let's just say, she's looking better than ever!

But what caught our attention was J.Lo's latest on-set look, where she stunned in a crimson red tailored blazer and skirt cinched with a black belt. Paired with plaid shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, cat-eyed sunglasses, and black gloves, the "Fly Girl" alum looked absolutely fierce as she carried a long clutch purse while filming on a sidewalk.

But it's not just her wardrobe that's got us talking – Jennifer's dramatic weight loss has left fans gobsmacked! According to sources close to the actress, J.Lo dropped a whopping 10 pounds in just one month to get into character for the musical. "She was very thin" for the role, a source spilled, adding that Jennifer's usual size six physique is actually a muscular 135 pounds.

But how did she do it? Insiders claim that Lopez stuck to a strict diet of protein and vegetables, ditching sugar and bad carbs altogether. We can't help but wonder if this is the same no-sugar-no-carb regimen she followed with ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez in 2019 – a diet that left her feeling "hungry all the time"!

Despite the challenges, Jennifer's commitment to her craft is truly admirable. As a nutritionist noted, "It's very impressive to see a woman in her fifties drop 10 pounds like that for work – it shows how driven she is to look her best for her job." And with her latest role as manipulative con artist Amber Patterson in "The Last Mrs. Parrish", we can't wait to see what other dramatic transformations are in store!

So, who's behind the scenes of this sizzling new movie? Director Robert Zemeckis (known for "Forrest Gump" and "Back to the Future") is at the helm, with Jennifer producing alongside former Vegas actress Molly Sims. And the cast? Isabel May from "Yellowstone: 1883" and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from "Game of Thrones" join Lopez in bringing this twisted tale to life.

As for the plot, get ready for a wild ride! Amber Patterson infiltrates the privileged lives of wealthy socialite Daphne Parrish (played by Jennifer) and her husband Jackson, all while hiding secrets of her own. But here's the twist: Daphne is not what she seems – and as the story unfolds, we discover that she's been manipulating the situation to escape an abusive marriage.

The movie is based on a best-selling novel by Liv Constantine, which has been praised for its "fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive" thriller plot. And with Jennifer Lopez leading the charge, we can't wait to see how this story unfolds!

But what about Ben Affleck? Sources claim that J.Lo was filming her latest movie in April 2024 while separating from her husband – but don't worry, folks, they're still on good terms! In fact, Jennifer told Gayle King that she's open to dating again: "The more self-aware I become with the lessons I learn and the hardships that I go through, the more I feel whole and complete on my own... The more I become hopeful for that same type of person to come into my life."

And there you have it – Jennifer Lopez is back in the spotlight, looking hotter than ever! Stay tuned for more updates from the world of Hollywood's most talked-about stars.
