Jennifer Lopez is reportedly finding an expensive way to cope with the stress of her ongoing split from Ben Affleck, as sources claim her retail therapy has reached alarming levels. According to insiders who spoke with In Touch, the Grammy-nominated singer and actress has been “throwing around money” as her divorce remains unresolved.
Lopez’s spending has reportedly become such a concern that her financial team has raised red flags. The Mother star’s shopping sprees could potentially cause serious damage to her finances if she doesn’t rein it in, sources warn.
Together, Lopez and Affleck boast a combined net worth of over $500 million, making the division of their assets a complicated process, especially since there was no prenuptial agreement in place. According to insiders, Lopez is beefing up her entourage, leading to a significant increase in her expenses. “Her weekly spending has instantly tripled because when she goes anywhere, they all go with her,” the source explained. The star could reportedly be facing a $50 million divorce settlement as part of the split.
But it’s not just the entourage that’s costing Lopez. The sources added that she’s indulging in “outrageous shopping sprees,” with her retail therapy bills stacking up quickly. “She’s regularly spending a few $100,000 a day on designer clothes for herself and her entourage,” the insider revealed. “The way she’s hemorrhaging money right now is madness.”
Despite the massive spending, Lopez reportedly justifies it as something that brings her comfort during a difficult time. “She calls it retail therapy and says she needs it, but the bills are outrageous,” the source shared. Even though her financial team is concerned, the insider added that Lopez believes her shopping habit is worth the cost. “It makes her happy, so it’s worth it,” they said.
As Lopez continues to navigate the stress of her impending divorce, her lavish spending has raised concerns, not just about her finances but about how she’s coping with the emotional toll of the split. Whether or not she’ll rein in her retail therapy remains to be seen, but for now, it appears the singer is using shopping as her outlet for relief.
