Jennifer Lopez posted a new selfie on social media this week showing off her figure and trying to regain some sense of normalcy amid her controversial divorce from Ben Affleck. After months of wild speculation and many conflicting reports, she officially filed for divorce earlier this month. Additionally, it appears that things between the couple have finally settled down for good, although we’re not ruling out the possibility of another reconciliation in the future. Regardless, this new online return seems to suggest that normality is returning a little bit, albeit with a lot of weight and gossipy intent attributed to a simple thirst trap.
Regardless, people are looking back on their relationship with a more critical eye these days, especially with another scandal involving another of Jennifer Lopez’s romantic partners. For example, some social media users played a clip of Big Boy asking her to choose between saving Ben Affleck or Diddy if only one of them could fit in the life raft. “I’ll let these two motherfuckers drown!” the Bronx native exclaimed during the conversation. While it was a very funny moment because of their reactions, this divorce and Sean Combs’ various misconduct lawsuits paint it in a much darker context.
Jennifer Lopez’s New Thirst Trap
Still, other rumors surrounding Jennifer Lopez’s divorce from Ben Affleck and her recent career troubles persist. One particular narrative that has caught the attention of many fans online is that Mariah Carey was allegedly happy to see her downfall. However, the source of the report is unconfirmed, so it’s likely just a salacious rumor. Regardless, it does make people reflect on Rogero’s legacy with more scrutiny and more empathy.
As for other alleged divorce details, another alleged insider report claims that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez broke up because he was worried that her fast-paced lifestyle would lead him back to alcoholism. These are very personal and serious accusations, so please take them with a grain of salt. Maybe we’ll never truly know why they quit. But then again, that’s certainly not what we know.
