Jennifer Lopez Speaks Out About Ben Affleck Divorce on Instagram

Jennifer Lopez recently posted a series of photographs on her Instagram page documenting her eventful summer after her divorce from Ben Affleck.

The pair, known to their fans as ‘Bennifer’, had rekindled their romance in 2021, 18 years after ending their first engagement. But on 20 August, the second anniversary of their wedding, Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Details About Lopez’s Instagram Post

Lopez published the Instagram series, captioned ‘Oh, it was a summer’, accompanied by a series of snapshots.

The post also included a slide that says, ‘Everything is unfolding in divine order,’ and views of the singer wearing a pink tie-dye sweatshirt that read ‘blessed mom’ and a T-shirt that read ‘she’s in bloom and unbothered out of reach and at peace.’

These posts read as literary confirmation of her acceptance and contentment in moving on from the marriage.

The carousel was interspersed with lighter moments of Lopez, too—ice cream! Bubble bath! Mirror photos! And a calm expression. Photos of her and her daughter Emme playing with a little orange kitten—a new, small, adorable, comforting companion.

Lopez and Affleck’s Relationship Status

Lopez and Affleck’s relationship remained under the spotlight, with the duo spotted separately several times. News outlets seemingly fueled speculation over the state of their marriage when Affleck was a no-show at several public events he would have normally attended with JLo, such as the Met Gala in New York City.

For the first time in more than a month, Lopez and Affleck were spotted together on May 16. Both of them were still wearing their wedding rings. Reports, however, indicate that the couple was not living together and had only been spotted together a few times previously.

Lopez’s Instagram post features her in various lights– a sign, perhaps, of her seizing the moment and saying au revoir to the past. Her situation acknowledges that she has been allowed a generous amount of time and validation for that. She looks settled, comfortable, and ready to take on the world, by herself and unafraid of the next chapter of her life.

In Affleck’s case, he’s been photographed attending events solo, and he bought a new house near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Their split surely represents the end of an era for both stars, who seem destined to remain part of each other’s lives in the public eye for the foreseeable future.

Lopez, who legally changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck after their 2022 wedding, has requested to revert to her previous name, Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

Lopez filed for divorce without representation (‘pro per’), which might suggest that she wanted to avoid an elaborate back-and-forth in the legal proceedings. She listed the couple’s date of marriage as 16 July 2022, following their Las Vegas wedding chapel nuptials, and their ‘separation date’ as 26 April.

As the world continues to hold its breath over this highly public separation, Lopez is showing every sign that she intends to keep her personal happiness and independence intact.
