Jennifer Lopez’s Instagram Activity Sparks Relationship Speculation
Jennifer Lopez recently engaged with social media content about unhealthy relationships, adding fuel to the ongoing rumors about issues in her marriage with Ben Affleck. The 54-year-old singer liked a post on Instagram that highlighted personality traits detrimental to healthy romance.
The post states that people can’t “build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity & emotional safety,” does not respect others’ time, “lacks effective communication skills,” and “doesn’t know who they are or what they want.”
The post, shared by relationship coach Lenna Marsak on March 19, emphasized the importance of integrity, emotional safety, respect for others’ time, effective communication skills, and self-awareness in relationships.
Lenna, who operates under the Instagram handle @yourcourageouscomeback, noticed Jennifer’s interaction on her post and shared her excitement on May 16.
“Just logged on to IG and noticed @jlo liked my post,” she wrote, sharing a screenshot of the notification.
“Jlo or her PR team, I’ll take it,” she added.
The next day, Lenna addressed her followers in a video, urging them to be kind to Jennifer amid the renewed speculation about her relationship with Affleck.
“Please be kind to Jennifer Lopez because she’s a human being. I do not know if they’re getting divorced. I hope not, but yeah, please,” she said.
Reports of tension between Jennifer and Ben have been circulating, with the couple last photographed together holding hands in New York City on March 30. Jennifer has been busy in New York City promoting her Netflix movie Atlas, filming Kiss of the Spider Woman, and attending the 2024 Met Gala, which Ben notably did not attend.
Ben, on the other hand, has been occupied on the west coast filming a sequel to his 2016 movie The Accountant. He made a solo appearance at Netflix’s live Roast of Tom Brady on May 5.
Jennifer and Ben, who famously dated from 2002 to 2004, rekindled their romance in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022. They later celebrated with a star-studded wedding at Ben’s compound in Savannah, Georgia. Though they do not share any children together, Jennifer has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Ben has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
The couple collaborated on Jennifer’s recent musical film This Is Me Now…: A Love Story and its accompanying documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told. At a February screening, Jennifer revealed that Ben, despite being a “reluctant participant,” significantly contributed to the project.
“It wasn’t my idea to photograph every single moment of doing this. To be honest, when we started making the film, it just kind of got more and more bizarre and my husband, who had a front seat to the whole thing really, was the one who was like, ‘We should be capturing this,’ and he brought on this amazing team and that’s kind of how it happened,” she shared.
As rumors continue to swirl, fans are left wondering about the state of the couple’s marriage, hoping for the best for them.
