Jennifer Lopez has talked to Harper’s Bazaar this week as she launches her new Delola margarita beverage.

During her chat, the 54-year-old Atlas actress shared that she is happiest at her $60M Bel Air, California mansion that estranged husband Ben Affleck moved out of.

‘I love to cook. My kids love to bake. I love hosting at home, family and friends, especially now that the weather is warmer. I like to have people over. I don’t like to go out a bunch,’ said the star.

And she told AP that she has slowed her career down, adding she goes at ‘half’ the speed she used to.

Lopez explained that she has ‘been doing things that are really exciting’ or ‘inspiring’ to her as opposed to ‘doing just everything.’

But there have been claims from UsWeekly that she is on the rocks with Affleck because she does the opposite: she works too much.

And the star certainly does seem to have a packed summer. In July, Jennifer will be going on tour, taking her far away from home.

Jennifer went into detail with Harper’s Bazaar about how much she loves to relax at home.

‘Sometimes it’s a brunch or an afternoon by the pool, or a nice small dinner with a few friends,’ said the Hustlers star.

‘Even just an everyday kind of like—a friend coming over and sitting down by the fire.’

The Bronx native also said: ‘It’s all those things that to me are the artful moments of your life. It’s like creating the most beautiful life you can for yourself, and creating these moments that are unforgettable for you and your family and friends. To me, that’s really what the Delola lifestyle is about: creating beautiful moments.’

Meanwhile, UsWeekly has claimed that Jennifer, 54, has ‘started ramping up her work commitments and prepping for her tour’, and is ‘very focused on her work and overextends herself.’

The source went on to state that Ben ‘doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle’ and now feels ‘worn down’ by their marriage.

Ben is said to have ‘checked out’ of their relationship and the insider added that he and Jennifer are on ‘two completely different pages most of the time.’

Another source close to Jennifer suggested the couple’s work commitments have also caused a rift, saying, ‘both have demanding careers that often require them to be in different cities.’

With the pair forced to spend time apart in recent months as a result of their careers – she went to NYC for the Met Gala and to shoot Kiss Of The Spider Woman while he was in LA shooting The Accountant 2 – the insider said the absence ‘highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them.’

They said: ‘Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments.

‘They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict’, the insider added, explaining that Jennifer prefers to confront issues head-on, while Ben isn’t as quick to open up.

As they navigate their work obligations, often from opposite coasts, communication has also become a source of contention between the duo.

The couple also have ‘fundamentally different approaches to conflict’ as Affleck tends to withdraw and Lopez prefers to talk things out.

But there is a bright light: her film Atlas has become a big hit worldwide.

Across the full weekend Friday through Sunday, Atlas was number one in 55 countries. Daily it reached 78 countries and it was top 10 in 93 countries.

Jennifer and Ben have yet to make a public statement on the state of their marriage as headlines are daily about their union.

PageSix claimed last week that Affleck is over the union and is ready to divorce.

Affleck wed Lopez in 2022 after a 2021 reunion. They were first an item 20 years ago and even got engaged, but broke it off before 2004.

People, however, added more insight last week.

‘They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,’ said a source. ‘Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.’

It was added it is just not ‘his way’ to share so much of his personal life.

‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers. There is no question their different styles clash,’ added the source.

A third source, from the music world, relayed: ‘She needs that expression but Affleck simply is not comfortable with it. After a while it causes tension in the relationship.

‘He is more introspective and private. She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. This makes them considerably different, and it has been difficult in the day-to-day relationship.’

The People source said they will stick it out.

‘There have always been clashes in their styles, how they handle issues, and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years. This is a great love story,’ the insider shared.

Eyebrows were raised when she wrote about their love in her movie This Is Me… Now, in which he appeared, and she was seen melting down alongside him in the accompanying documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In the documentary he made it clear he did not like his wife sharing his old love letters.

He also addressed their different approached to fame: ‘Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.”
