Jennifer Lopez has been making waves on social media following her recent split from Ben Affleck. The “Hummingbird” singer, 55, posted a series of swimsuit snaps on Instagram on August 31, giving fans a glimpse into her summer. This comes just days after she filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, marking the end of their two-year marriage. The couple, who famously wed in a grand ceremony in 2022, spent most of the summer apart.
Lopez’s post featured a series of selfies, including a cheeky shot in a plunging white swimsuit, which she had previously shared on her 55th birthday, July 24. In another photo, she sported a tan bikini top, oversized shades, and a gold chain necklace, exuding her signature style. In addition to the swimwear, she also showed off a more casual summer outfit: a baby pink dress tied with a maroon velvet bow, accompanied by matching accessories.
“Oh, it was a summer,” she captioned the post, which included photos of her spending time with her sister, Lynda, and her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Despite the glamorous shots, Lopez’s post hinted at a bittersweet tone following her split from Affleck.
According to sources, Lopez has remained strong and optimistic despite the challenges. A close friend revealed that while the divorce has been tough for her, she’s focused on her family and continues to stay positive. “She feels fortunate for everything she has but, of course, there’s still some hurt. She wanted things to work out with Ben, but it just wasn’t possible.”
The couple’s relationship had been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about reunions after they rekindled their romance in 2021, nearly two decades after their first engagement. However, the pressures of their busy careers and personal lives reportedly took a toll on their relationship. Lopez spent much of the summer in New York, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles. Despite the distance, Lopez did visit Affleck in California before his birthday in August, but it seems the visit wasn’t enough to mend their relationship.
Affleck, 52, is said to be adjusting well post-divorce. A source close to the actor revealed that he is focused on moving forward, spending time with his children, and settling into his new home. “Ben is doing well and is in a better place,” the insider said. “He’s focusing on his career, his family, and the future.”
Lopez’s social media posts continue to capture attention as she embraces her new chapter in life. Fans have shown overwhelming support for the star, praising her strength and resilience. As always, JLo manages to maintain her glamorous image, even in the face of personal challenges.
For now, it seems both Lopez and Affleck are carving out separate paths as they navigate life post-divorce. Lopez remains surrounded by family and friends, while Affleck is focusing on his own personal and professional growth. The world will undoubtedly continue to watch their next moves.
