- Following his divorce filing, Ben has been spotted with another woman; Jennifer Lopez shares provocative self-portraits.
Post-split days are always challenging. It takes some time to comprehend that life now appears altered and you're heading different paths. Hitting another heartache milestone is officially terminating the relationship. This is what took place between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck on August 20, as she filed for divorce.
Although neither has publicly spoken about the breakup, celebrities often keep their private lives quiet, details of the petition have already surfaced. August 20, 2024, is marked as the separation date. It seems the pair, attempting a second chance in life, have been living separately for approximately four months. The petition filed on August 20 is said to be strategically timed, coinciding with their anniversary two years ago.
Jennifer Lopez re-emerges on social media
Five days have passed since the divorce was filed, so what have the former lovers been up to? Ben Affleck was spotted enjoying ice cream with two of his children on August 23, his appetite seemingly unaffected. According to "Page Six," the actor has also been spending time with Kick Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter. Sources reported their outing at the Polo Lounge of the renowned Beverly Hills Hotel and other popular celebrity hangouts. Kick Kennedy refused to comment on her relationship with Ben Affleck, and requests for Affleck's comments remained unanswered.
Since the separation, Ben Affleck has sought guidance and support from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The duo, with three shared children, divorced in 2015 and finalized it in 2018. Despite their split, the ex-spouses have maintained amicable relations, with Garner offering her support throughout Affleck's marriage and separation.
Jennifer Lopez, typically an active social media user, has kept quiet since the split. Her Instagram was eerily silent for about a week until last Friday. Three days after filing for divorce, the 55-year-old posted a selfie on her Instagram story. Dressed in a pink terry cloth pajama and exuding a sensual vibe, she poses for the camera. Upon closer examination, a decorative Christmas tree is in the background, hinting that this is not a recent photo but an old favorite.
So, is she trying to provoke her ex's jealousy with this photo, or why did she choose an older picture?
