Jennifer Lopez ‘hurting behind closed doors’ after Ben Affleck divorce: Source
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly covering the pain of failed marriages by her “best thing that ever happened” comment on Ben Affleck divorce.
Sources close to Lopez revealed to RadarOnline.com that she ” is putting on a brave face, but behind closed doors, she’s hurting.”
Lopez finalized her divorce from Affleck earlier in January after parting ways in April 2024. They couple tied the knot back in 2022 and they rekindled their romance two decades after calling off their engagement in 2003.
For the unversed, Lopez has been married four times in total and shares twins Emme and Max with her third husband Marc Anthony.
The insider continued, “She tells people the divorce was the best thing for her, but it’s also a way to protect herself. Saying she’s thriving makes it easier to deal with the fact that another marriage has ended in disappointment.”
A second source claimed that Lopez is “trying to reframe the story by saying it was the best thing that ever happened to her.
“It’s part truth, part self-preservation. She does believe the experience changed her, but there’s no denying it’s been painful. Her friends see her crying one day and smiling the next – that’s the reality.”
During a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Lopez reflected on working with Affleck while their marriage was ended, as her latest film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, was produced by Affleck and his pal Matt Damon’s company, Artists Equity.
“The movie wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for him and Artists Equity. I will always give him that credit. It was hard not to think about stuff, but it was, like, the best and the worst of times. Every moment on set… I was so happy. And then… back home, it was not great,” Lopez recalled at the time.

Prince Harry’s cousin Amelia Windsor tries to be his replacement in royal family
King Charles has one big royal seat empty since Meghan Markle has left for America with her family.
Trying to be the fit for this role, Prince Harry’s cousin Lady Amelia Windsor has stepped out to catch attention in black.
The 30 year old was at the premiere of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, wearing a gown by Percy Langley that was as elegant as it was intentional.
Fashion followers were quick to spot that this wasn’t the dress’s first outing.
Known for championing sustainable style long before it became a buzzword, Lady Amelia has worn the gown on multiple occasions, reinforcing her belief that true luxury lies in rewearing.
Whispers are now swirling that she could be stepping into a whole new chapter of her life .
Although neither she nor her rumored partner have confirmed anything yet but according to insider she may soon be engaged to her long-term boyfriend, property developer Ollie Lewis.
Amelia is currently 44th in line to the throne and has been linked with Lewis for several years, and fans of the couple have enjoyed watching their relationship grow from festival flings to public appearances on major social stages.
Their story first attracted attention at Glastonbury 2023, where the pair were photographed hugging and kissing amid the crowds even alongside her sister Lady Marina and her now-fiancé, Nico Macauley.

Timothée Chalamet surpasses Leonardo DiCaprio milestone
Timothée Chalamet has settled into a spot previously occupied by Leonardo DiCaprio, less than a week after beating him to best actor glory at the 2026 Golden Globes.
The newly stamped winner’s film, Marty Supreme, has surpassed the DiCaprio-starrer One Battle After Another at the box office this week.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the latest news was recorded on Tuesday, with Chalamet’s release “passing up Leonardo DiCaprio’s rival Oscar contender One Battle After Another to end the day with an estimated cume of $72.27 million.”
With the action thriller grossing “slightly north of $71.6 million” at the US box office, the A24 sports drama is currently the highest earner.
Furthermore, despite One Battle being ahead at the global turnover with an estimate of $154.5 million, Marty Supreme is also eyeing competition along the same territory.
“Based on early returns, box office experts believe Marty Supreme could do substantial business overseas and end up north of $170 million to $180 million globally, if not higher,” THR’s report claimed.
Timothée Chalamet’s latest achievement in his Leonardo DiCaprio competition comes just days after the younger star beat his formidable peer at the Golden Globes.
The American-French actor bagged Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy award, defeating the Titanic actor, who was one of his competitors in the same category.

Labubu doll maker accused of unfair labour practices, Chinese Labour Watch reveals
While the trendy toy Labubu has started fading from the scene after taking the world by storm, the Labubu manufacturer seems to be drawing criticism for allegedly exploiting workers, as claimed by a labour rights organisation, China Labour Watch (CLW).
CLW accused the Chinese factory that makes the popular Labubu dolls of exploiting its workforce.
A following investigation into the matter revealed that Shunjia Toys Co Ltd, a supplier for Pop Mart, subjected employees to excessive overtime, required them to sign blank or incomplete contracts, and denied them paid leave.
For those unfamiliar, the Labubu dolls, known for their viral appeal and sales in “blind boxes,” have gained immense traction worldwide.
Responding to the allegations, Pop Mart stated that it is probing the claims and emphasised its commitment to ensuring that suppliers rectify any identified issues.
Pop Mart conducts regular audits of its suppliers, including annual independent reviews by internationally recognised inspectors. The investigation by CLW involved 51 in-person interviews with factory workers regarding recruitment, contracts, and working conditions.
The factory, located in Guangdong province, has over 4,500 workers and is the primary manufacturing facility for Pop Mart.
As outlined in CLW’s report, several labour violations were committed at Shunjia Toys, including illegal overtime, unclear contract practices, and inadequate safety training.
While no child labour was found, the factory employed 16-year-olds under the same conditions as adults, violating Chinese labour laws that mandate special protections for minors.
CLW urged Pop Mart to take immediate action to address these issues, compensate affected workers, and comply with both Chinese labour laws and international standards.
