Hollywood’s next power couple could be Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez.
The two superstars have been pals for decades, insiders say, and Cameron, 53, hopes to help J.Lo, 56, heal after her divorce from Ben Affleck by launching a high-profile joint project.
“J.Lo has a special relationship with Cameron going back to the ’90s,” reveals an insider.

“Now they’re having real discussions about making something else together after the unexpectedly positive experience they had on What to Expect When You’re Expecting more than 10 years ago.”
The actresses gushed over the 2012 rom-com during an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show and have maintained their friendship over the years, insiders say.
According to sources, the two believe they could copy the runaway success of The Morning Show, the Apple TV+ drama series that stars Hollywood sweethearts Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
“Why can’t they be the next Jennifer and Reese?” says the insider.
“They both have mastered the streaming space, but teaming up is a force multiplier that fulfills a promise they made to audiences in the ’90s when they both broke out right at the same time.”
“They see it as a duty, to their fans and to themselves.”

Back then, former model Cameron starred in a string of blockbuster comedies, including The Mask, My Best Friend’s Wedding and There’s Something About Mary.
At the same time, J.Lo thrilled fans in Selena as the beloved Tejano singer and opposite heartthrob George Clooney in Out of Sight.

Cameron went on to voice Princess Fiona in the Shrek series and star in Charlie’s Angels on the big screen, while J.Lo became the first actress to have a movie, 2001’s The Wedding Planner, and a music album hit number one in the same week.
“Cam and Jen are looking for scripts to star in together, and they know they can do something way bigger than Expecting, which made money but is hardly a classic,” says the insider.
“Plus, they just work great together onscreen and everybody wants to see more of them together.”
