Jennifer Lopez is once again in the headlines, this time she shared a subtle message on her social media, possibly addressed to Ben Affleck, while their divorce was going on.
Through a group of photos, the singer said that “everything is happening in divine order.”
In the photos, the artist is seen eating ice cream during the summer, with her daughter Emme, who considers herself non-binary, with a cat that is her pet poodle dog, she is wearing a swimsuit in her bathroom, having dinner, as well as in several ‘selfies’.
Among them, she has shared a photo of a girl who is wearing a shirt that reads: “She is blooming, calm, unreachable and at peace.”

Lopez and Affleck filed for divorce after a two-decade relationship that included two engagements, two marriages, and numerous media appearances.
The other half of the partnership, which was at the height of pop culture and frequently featured on tabloid covers, came to an end with the filing of the divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court. Even before such “portmanteaus” became commonplace for identifying couples, they were known as “Bennifer”.
TMZ announced the divorce, stating that Lopez had provided a date of separation of April 26, 2024. The musician and actress were reported to have made no mention of a prenuptial agreement.
After meeting, falling in love and getting engaged in the early 2000s – and working together in 2003’s Gigli and 2004’s Jersey Girl – the couple split, in part because of the pressures of being in the public eye.
But to the delight of many and perhaps the skepticism of others, they reunited two decades later and married – twice – in 2022.
The couple had flown to Las Vegas, lined up with four other couples to get their license and married just after midnight at A Little White Wedding Chapel, where, according to Lopez, a Bluetooth-connected speaker played a wedding march for their brief walk down the aisle. She said it was the best night of their lives.
A month later, they held a huge ceremony at Affleck’s Georgia home in front of friends and family.
The two have been married before. Affleck, 52, married actress Jennifer Garner in 2005, with whom he has three children. They divorced in 2018.
Lopez, 55, has been married three times before. She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998 and to Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003. Her marriage to Marc Anthony in 2004 lasted a decade. He is the father of her 14-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
