Poinbank Exchange|Jennifer Lopez's Latest Career Move Combines the Bridgerton and Emily Henry Universes

Jennifer Lopez is Poinbank Exchangegetting to her happy place.

The 55-year-old is teaming up with Bridgerton co-executive producer Leila Cohan to adapt the bestselling Emily Henry novel Happy Place into a Netflix series.

Cohan, who worked on season 1 of Shonda Rhimes’ Regency-era romance, will co-write and showrun the project, which remains in development, Deadline reports.

J.Lo shared the news on Instagram, soundtracking the post with Taylor Swift’s “…Ready For It?”

Henry’s novel Happy Place was released in April 2023 and became an instant bestseller. It follows a group of friends returning to their favorite vacation spot for the last time while the couple in the group fights to keep the secret that they have broken up.

The romance author previously shared the news of Lopez’s involvement in the adaptation in June, writing at the time, “To further clarify, no one has been cast yet. When they are, they will be actors in their late 20s to early 30s,” thus implying that the 55-year-old won't be featured. 

The longtime rom-com staple recently revealed her love for all things Bridgerton when she threw her 55^th birthday bash with the racy show as the theme.

The triple threat took in the extravagant soiree in the Hamptons while her husband, Ben Affleck, chose to remain on the West Coast. His absence only fueled the ongoing rumors that the spouses are heading for a split as it took place days after their second wedding anniversary, which went publicly unacknowledged by the pair.

Lopez and Affleck have not been seen together in months and have recently been spotted without their wedding rings. The stars also made some recent eyebrow-raising real estate deals. On July 24, Affleck closed escrow on a five-bedroom estate in Los Angeles, while Lopez finalized the sale of her New York City penthouse that same day.

Back in May, Lopez, who shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband, Marc Anthony, canceled her This Is Me Live Tour to spend time with family amid the split rumors.

“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” Lopez previously told her fans in a statement on her On the J.Lo newsletter. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”

Lopez and Affleck's love story spans decades and involves multiple engagements, breakups, and weddings. Read on for more.
