Jennifer Lopez Boldly Breaks Silence on Divorce from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez recently took to Instagram, seemingly opening up about her divorce from Ben Affleck.
On Saturday, August 31, the 55-year-old singer shared a series of summer photos featuring moments with family and friends. She also posted a few quotes reflecting her emotions over the past few months, including, “everything is unfolding in divine order,” and “she’s in bloom, unbothered, out of reach, and at peace.”
Her caption, “oh, it was a summer,” came shortly after she filed for divorce from the 52-year-old actor. From selling their marital home to skipping their second wedding anniversary celebration, the “On the Floor” singer officially filed for divorce on August 20 at the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences, according to Page Six. Jennifer also requested to return to her maiden name and was met with an outpouring of support in the comments section, where she liked many of the messages.

One fan wrote, “YASSSSSSSSSSS IM SAYING GOODBYE TO SUMMER WITH A BOTTLE OF DELOLA,” referencing J. Lo’s cocktail brand, to which the “All I Have” singer responded, “yes baby!”
Another follower commented, “AN UNBOTHERED Queen. We have to STAN.”
A different fan shared, “Queen! Love you! Everything is unfolding in its divine order. Can’t wait to see you back where you belong — on stage and on top of the world.”
One more user added, “To the people who enter our lives by chance with their music and then become part of our soundtrack. To you, wonderful soul. Shine, smile, and toast to life. By your side. Always. Love you, baby. @JLo.”
According to People, “Bennifer,” the couple’s popular nickname, faced difficulties due to their differing personalities. Lopez is known for her outgoing and social nature, while the Gone Girl actor tends to be more reserved and introverted. Additionally, it was revealed that Ben struggled with “mood swings,” which he didn’t realize impacted those around him.
An insider further shared with People that Ben “hasn’t given [Jennifer] any signs that he wants to continue their marriage.”
