Ben Affleck’s cousin’s wife, Jennifer Affleck, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star recently uploaded a video on TikTok sharing her hair transformation with Jennifer Lopez’s Jenny From the Block playing in the background.

“The new Jenny from the block.”

The TikTok uploaded by Jennifer has been going viral ever since on the platform because of the choice of the song playing in the background. The video with the song by Jennifer Lopez came just days after the news of the couple’s divorce blew up on the internet.

It is worth noting that Jennifer Affleck, who changed her name after marriage from Jennifer Lynn is married to Ben Affleck’s first cousin once removed, Zac Affleck. The duo tied the knot in June 2019.

As Jennifer uploaded the video, social media users poured in their comments, with some questioning her choice of music, while others claiming that the reality star might be paying homage to the iconic singer.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck filed for divorce in August 2024, after being married for two years, having tied the knot in July 2022. Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024— the date coinciding with their second anniversary, as the couple got married formally in Georgia on the same date.
