Jennifer Lopez, renowned for her fashion sense, once again captured attention during the promotional event for her film ‘Unstoppable.’ On December 10, the 55-year-old star showcased her stunning appearance in a bold Chloé playsuit that was cut above the thigh. With its billowing sleeves and pleated design, this outfit highlighted her fit legs and enviable figure, reinforcing her status as a fashion icon.
Lopez captioned her post: “Press Day for UNSTOPPABLE | adjective: unable to be stopped – An unstoppable force. In theaters now.” This highlights her vibrant promotional efforts for the biographical sports drama, where she stars as Judy Robles, mother to wrestler Anthony Robles. However, amidst the buzz of her stunning appearance and career peaks, the emotional strain from her challenging divorce from Ben Affleck subtly shadows her promotional activities.
The Absence of Ben Affleck
While Jennifer wowed in her stylish Chloé outfit, her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, has notably kept a low profile. The Oscar-winning actor, who is involved in the production of ‘Unstoppable,’ missed the film’s premiere in September and has often been absent from significant events associated with the movie.
Despite the challenges in their relationship, Ben has openly complimented Jennifer’s acting in the movie. He called her performance “spectacular” during an interview, but there are claims that his admiration is more about strategy than sentiment. An insider shared that “Ben is eager for Unstoppable to succeed and wants Jennifer to receive recognition for her role,” indicating he aims to keep any personal issues separate from the film’s success.
Is Ben’s support really just professional?
Ben’s encouragement appears calculated rather than heartfelt. A source noted, “He understands that questions about Jen will arise during interviews, and he is committed to maintaining professionalism.” Another insider added, “Ben wants the film to be recognized on its own merit, acknowledging Jennifer’s incredible talent through his endorsements.”
While both have faced a tumultuous year, sources reveal that Jennifer is now prioritizing herself. A friend remarked, “Though the year has been tough, she’s feeling better, ready to embrace Christmas and the New Year with a fresh outlook.” Yet, her personal life remains under public scrutiny.
Divorce, drama, and moving forward
In August, Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben, merely two years after they tied the knot. This decision came as a shock to many, including devoted fans, as the couple had recently appeared very close. Nevertheless, Jennifer seems resolute in her decision to move ahead, focusing on her career, upcoming roles, and personal well-being.
With the release of Unstoppable on Amazon Prime set for January 16, the movie is anticipated to create buzz, not only for its uplifting sports story but also for the interactions between its lead and producer. The pressing question is: Can Ben and Jennifer navigate their shared public presence without reigniting past tensions? Only time will reveal the answer.
