Jennifer Lopez, 55, showcased her humor by sharing a viral meme riffing on her 2001 hit Love Don’t Cost a Thing. The post, which joked, “Due to inflation, my love will now cost a thing,” resonated with fans amid rising U.S. consumer prices. Lopez added a laughing emoji, sparking thousands of comments like “That’s right, sister!” and “She’s not playin’ games!”

While the meme struck a chord, Lopez’s $400 million net worth shields her from financial strain. However, she and ex Ben Affleck face a real estate dilemma: their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion, purchased during their brief marriage, has struggled to sell since hitting the market in August 2024. Sources say Affleck wants to lower the price to attract buyers, while Lopez insists on holding firm. Realtors suggest slashing the price by 15%, citing overvaluation and soaring $500k annual insurance costs post-wildfires.

Despite the tension, the exes prioritize co-parenting. At The Accountant 2 premiere, Affleck praised Lopez as “spectacular” with his kids and expressed gratitude for her bond with his children. Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, 17, joined him at the event, which he called “the joy of my life.”
