Singer-actor Jennifer Lopez posted a carousel of images on her personal Instagram on Saturday, August 31, 2024. This was one of the first few personal posts the singer has uploaded to Instagram following the announcement of her divorce from Ben Affleck.
While there had been rumors about Affleck and Lopez separating making their way to the internet since April, it was confirmed in August 2024. The divorce came two years after they celebrated the rekindling of their romance with two wedding celebrations.
The Let's Get Loud singer concluded August with a carousel of photos, shared on Instagram. The carousel had pictures of her and her children throughout the summer, and photos of t-shirts with quotes on them.
In one of the photos, she was seen wearing a t-shirt that read, "Everything is unfolding in divine order." In another picture, Jennifer Lopez shared a picture of a woman wearing a dark t-shirt that read, "She's in bloom and unbothered out of reach and at peace."
As soon as fans saw the images, they took to social media to react to the star's summer photo dump and cryptic quotes, which came soon after filing for her divorce. One fan, in particular, called Jennifer Lopez's post-breakup dump "relatable."
"Literally the most relatable post-breakup photo dump ever. She's gorgeous but whoever edited her shin in photo 8 needs to be fired," a fan on Reddit wrote.
Others also stated that they related to Lopez and how they understood her after she ended her marriage. Some also stated that the singer was like "all of us in our 20s," citing how nearly everyone had dated "f*ckboys" and pretended that they were "not mentally hanging on by a thread."
"Unfortunately she loves love. I can relate. It's a train wreck to watch but I get her lol," a Reddit user wrote.
"Quotes about being unbothered and at peace, posting half-n*ked selfies. She's all of us in our 20s dating f**kbois, pretending we're not mentally hanging on by a thread," another Reddit user said.
"This may be the only time I've related to JLo. I, too have been a little extra after a breakup," another one wrote.
Other netizens claimed that Jennifer Lopez looked "iconic" despite what she was going through. Some claimed that if they were to "publicly go through a breakup with the same man twice," they would also like to do it while "looking fine af."
"One thing about JLO is that she can be going through it but she still gonna look good, iconic fr," a netizen on Reddit wrote.
"She looks absolutely fantastic. If I had to publicly go through a break up with the same man twice, I'd prefer to do it while looking fine af," a Reddit user chimed in.
Jennifer Lopez filed to divorce Ben Affleck on their second anniversary
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been living separately since late April 2024, but the singer filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, the second anniversary of their wedding.
The former couple had a traditional wedding at Affleck's 87-acre estate in Georgia on August 20, 2022. It was their second wedding after tying the knot in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas on July 16 that same year.
Since filing for divorce, Jennifer Lopez has kept away from the spotlight. She canceled her US Summer Tour in May 2024 to "spend time with her family and friends.
Apart from making the first post since filing for divorce in Los Angeles, the singer was also seen for the first time in downtown LA. She was wearing a gold band on her left ring finger, but it's unclear if it's the same one from her marriage to the Hollywood actor.
