Inside the WORST year of Jennifer Lopez's life: As her Ben Affleck 'love story' ends in divorce, TOM LEONARD lays bare the flop commercial ventures, the public humiliations... and even the friends now deserting her


Singing and dancing in a billowing Regency ballgown, Jennifer Lopez seemed a picture of delight last month as she celebrated her 55th birthday with a Bridgerton-themed extravaganza.

By the time of Tuesday's announcement that she'd filed divorce papers in Los Angeles Superior Court, it was difficult to suppose that a tribesman in the remotest part of the Amazon jungle would have been surprised by the news. Far from being an annus mirabilis for JLo and her doggedly loyal fans, 2024 must surely rank as among the worst so far – a year dominated by the drip-drip-drip of humiliating claims from the Affleck camp that Lopez was driving him to distraction with her endless craving for publicity and attention. The film, which she co-produced and which came out in May, has a pitiful 19 percent approval rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes although it was successful on streaming site Netflix (where, admittedly, subscribers could watch it for free).
