Jennifer Lopez’s been going through a rough time since her split from Ben Affleck, and it’s starting to show in ways that have friends concerned. Per Life & Style, JLo’s been shedding pounds at an alarming rate, and an insider claims it’s due to anxiety over the divorce. The source revealed, 

She’s dropped so much weight in such a little amount of time that it’s got to be anxiety related. Jennifer hates the direction her life has taken, and she can’t control what Ben’s doing but she can manipulate her diet and exercise regime.

Apparently, the 55-year-old’s been hitting the gym like crazy—working out both morning and afternoon for hours on end. While she looks great, her friends are worried about her health. “She’s not eating nearly enough, just salads by the look of her. No wonder she’s walking around cranky,” the insider continued. Her intense routine of exercise and strict dieting seems to be part of her way to cope with the breakup.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20, listing their date of separation as April 26. While the couple hasn’t commented publicly, it’s clear the breakup been hard on the actress. According to another source, she’s been focusing on a revenge body to show she’s still in control, even though her life feels upside down. The insider alluded:

J. Lo’s convinced that the best revenge is looking good, so she’s thrown herself into a total body makeover, to the detriment of pretty much every other part of her life.

She can’t stand the idea that people think she’s sitting home alone crying over Ben so even though the last thing she wants to do is put on a smile for the cameras, she forces herself to do it.

As both Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck navigate this new chapter, it’s clear J. Lo’s trying to move forward—but at what cost? Hopefully, she finds a healthier balance soon.

At the Unstoppable premiere, Matt Damon and Jennifer Lopez had a private chat that got everyone buzzing—especially with Affleck missing from the scene. But if J.Lo thought she’d get Damon to dish on his bestie, she was out of luck. An insider spilled (via Marca):

Matt Damon shut down any attempt that J.Lo made to discuss Ben at the premiere. It was her timing that was so awkward because she would have known that pulling Matt aside at the event to have an intimate talk was going to get picked up and go viral.

Awkward, right? The two talked for about 20 minutes, even had a hand-holding moment, but Damon wasn’t having any Affleck talk. He made it clear: he’s happy for her, but no Ben drama here.

Even though it looked intense, Damon kept things professional, focusing on the Unstoppable premiere. No gossip, just business. Because, let’s face it—Matt Damon’s got Affleck’s back, no matter what.
