Not long after it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had filed for divorce, Lopez’s former fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, posted a statement on social media that many take to be disparaging the “Jenny From the Block” singer.
As the couple’s anniversary fell on August 20, Lopez filed for divorce from her husband of two years—a day that many saw as noteworthy. nearly nobody was surprised by the couple’s breakup, including JLo’s ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, as reports about their relationship started to surface nearly as soon as “Bennifer” got back together.
The retired Major League Baseball star posted an enigmatic message on his Instagram Stories the day his ex-fiance filed for divorce.
It said, “You might as well be the one choosing the direction; you either go one way or the other.”
Although the insider informed People that the letter “has nothing to do” with JLo, it is unknown to whom the message was sent. If it doesn’t, even that is purely coincidental.
2017 saw the start of Lopez and Rodriquez’s relationship, which ended in April 2021 after they became engaged in 2019.
“We’ve come to the conclusion that friendship is better for us and we intend to stay that way. They declared jointly at the moment, “We will keep collaborating and helping one another on our joint ventures and endeavors. “We hope the best for one another’s kids as much as for ourselves. The only other thing we can say, out of respect for them, is “thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
Shortly after splitting from Rodriguez, Lopez was seen settling back in with Affleck.
After dating from 2002 to 2004, the couple tied the knot in a surprise ceremony that took place in Las Vegas in 2022. They married in front of family and friends about a month later in a Georgia mansion that Affleck had originally bought for the couple 20 years prior.
Everyone was rooting for Bennifer to succeed, but in May 2024, after almost 50 days of not seeing each other in public, reports of problems in paradise started to circulate.
According to reports, Affleck moved out of the couple’s shared home at the end of June. The cherry on top was his absence from Lopez’s July 2 birthday celebration.
According to reports in August, the couple had not seen each other in “weeks” and had started “moving on separately.” The announcement of Lopez’s divorce filing was made public on August 20.
