GHOSTED BY J.LO!
Awkward! Jennifer Lopez was thrilled when then-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez introduced her to HGTV star Joanna Gaines. “I totally fangirled out,” the 52-year-old gushed to Ellen DeGeneres in 2019. The two even had plans to collaborate on her $6.6 million spread in Malibu, Calif. Fast-forward two years and their once-hot friendship has cooled, sources tell Star. “There was a time when Jennifer and Jo would talk or text nearly every day,” spills an insider. No more. Once the Hustlers actress split from the baseball great and reconnected with ex-fiancé Ben Affleck, her double dates with Jo and Chip Gaines ended. “Jo genuinely thought they were becoming friends and was so starry-eyed,” the insider says of the mom-of-five, 43. “Now she says she feels dumped. She’s really hurt.” With her and Chip’s Magnolia TV network set to launch in January, the Texas native is already worth $10 million. Small potatoes compared to J.Lo’s $400 mil. “The reality is, Jennifer considers herself above mixing with normal folks like them!” ★
