Jennifer Lopez is putting on a brave face while promoting her movie, Parker, telling the world that she has “no regrets” about her love and career choices, but close pals say that after watching Ben Affleck accept a Golden Globe for directing Argo on January 13, Jennifer suddenly found herself in the middle of a midlife meltdown.
“Ben winning that award really hit her in a weird way,” confides a friend. “She used to brag that she’d win an Oscar by the time she was 45, and that doesn’t seem likely. Plus, her music career isn’t what it used to be.”
Nor is her love life. Jen, who has been dating 25-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart since 2011, couldn’t help but feel pangs of envy as Ben glowingly thanked wife Jennifer Garner and their three children during his speech.
“Ben’s wife is very successful and respected in the industry and J.Lo can tell that she and Ben are very happily married,” the source explains. “Then she looked at her own relationships: she’s dating a backup dancer who’s nearly half her age and riding her coattails.”
Casper may be youthful, but seeing her ex so fulfilled was a wakeup call for Jenny from the block.
“Jennifer acted happy for Ben that night – but the truth is, she became very embarrassed about her own life… her loved ones are worried and constantly tell her she should give herself more credit, but Jennifer is really in the dumps.”
