On Friday, Jennifer Lopez surprised her fans by sharing a stunning selfie on her Instagram Stories. This was her first post since news broke that she had filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck. The selfie, identified as a photo from a makeup and hair session in December 2020 with stylist Chris Appleton, showed J.Lo looking flawless. Her makeup was exquisitely done, and her hair was styled in huge curls, sporting a beautiful honey blonde color.
In the picture, Jennifer Lopez can be seen wearing a soft fuzzy pale pink tracksuit, and a lit up Christmas tree provided a festive backdrop. The photo was actually a repost from a fan account that tagged Lopez. The original post by Chris Appleton, shared on December 31, 2020, showed his artistry and was captioned, "Deluxe Glam Barbie - Ending the year with a bang ✨".
Since the news of their divorce filing broke on Tuesday, neither Jennifer Lopez nor Ben Affleck have made any public statements regarding the end of their marriage. Jennifer has returned to social media, but she has remained silent about the dissolution of the relationship. It has been suggested by a source that Jennifer was the one to file for divorce because she was tired of waiting for things to change. The source also mentioned that Jennifer tried her best to salvage the marriage and is heartbroken over the situation. However, her children remain her top priority.
An insider has claimed that Jennifer Lopez is ready to "move on" from Ben Affleck as there have been no indications from him that he wants to reconcile. Another source from Page Six revealed that Jennifer truly believed she was living a fairy tale with Ben Affleck, but she failed to consider who he truly was as a person. The insider noted that Ben has a darkness in him that cannot be fixed by anyone, including his ex-wife Jennifer Garner or all his success in the world.
