Jennifer Lopez has landed a new Netflix series amid increasingly escalating rumors she will soon split from husband Ben Affleck.
The actress, 54, who was roasted for her Amazon Prime series titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told about her on-again romanceย
with Affleck, 51, has struck a new deal with the streamer via her company Nuyorican to adapt novel Happy Place by Emily Henry.
Deadline reports plans toย adapt the novel โas a series are underwayโ with producers and streaming executives currently meeting with writers.
Happy Place follows couple Harriet and Wyn who met in college โ but abruptly break up.
Despite splitting five months previously, they havenโt told their best friends, and end up sharing a bedroom in a Maine cottage during their annual getawayย
and making a pact to lie that they are still together.
Lopez will act as one of the producers on the series alongsideย Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina.
Lopezโs visual film, This is Me Nowโฆ A Love Story was famously dubbed โbonkersโ and a โover-the-top delight for fansโ by critics.
Her appearance in the documentary, has seen her dubbed โout of touchโ and โdelusionalโ by some fans. In one โ widely reshared โ moment J Lo plays with her hair in the mirror while reminiscing about her upbringing in the Bronx, a famously working-class neighbourhood of New York.
โI like taking my hair out like this,โ she says.
โIt reminds me, like, when I was 16 in the Bronx, running up and down the block. Crazy little girl who used to f***ing be wild and no limits, all dreams.โ
The clip gained backlash on TikTok, with one user โ who goes by Angela and claims to have gone to the same school as the hitmaker โ saying she was โlying to look more humanโ.
Rumours surrounding a divorce between Jennifer and husband Benย ramped up after he was also spotted without his wedding ring on.ย
A source told DailyMail.com that she is โoverโ trying to fix her marriage to Ben.
An industry insider claimed that the pop star has reached her witโs end and no longer feels that she can do any โmoreโ to save the relationship.
A music industry source told DailyMail.com: โJenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, itโs not getting any better, itโs worse.โ
The insider add that the main reason JLo left her husband was because he was always โgrumpy and negativeโ like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.
Jennifer is also said to be โshockedโ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair.
The source said: โIf 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.ย
โI think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldnโt smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her,โ said the friend of Jennifer.
โHe chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?โ said the source. โHe is a wonderful father though.โ
They added: โShe is really not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she will get over it. She will march on.ย
โJennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, she always does!โ
She has been leaning on close friends including stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy and vocal coach Stevie Mackey.
ย Meanwhile, Jennifer cleared her schedule this summer to give herself some downtime to re-examine her life.
