Netflix has optioned Happy Place by Emily Henry for Jennifer Lopez's Nuyorican Productions, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Reports of J Lo's latest venture with the streaming company follow the cancellation of her summer tour so that she could "spend time with family" amid divorce rumors about her marriage with Ben Affleck.
On social media fans pointed to stress from divorce rumors as a reason for her sudden weight loss.
According to Deadline, the streaming series will be led by J Lo's Nuyorican, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and Benny Medina. Meetings with production and writers are said to be underway.
Happy Place centers around a picture-perfect couple, Harriet and Wyn, who have been together since college until their secret breakup. Despite being split for five months, the fictional couple keeps the status of their relationship from their closest friends.
Harriet and Wyn must continue to keep up their lie during an annual friends trip, in which they're forced to share a bedroom together at a Maine cottage.
As divorce rumors continue to swirl, the couple has reportedly sold their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion.
Meanwhile, in real life, J Lo and her husband, Ben Affleck, have been at the center of rumors regarding the status of their relationship.
After reuniting 20 years following their first failed engagement, the couple wed in July 2022 and purchased a $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which has since been listed for sale. Ben, who has been seen out and about without his wedding ring, reportedly moved out of their marital home and into a $100,000 per month Brentwood rental home near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
