Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reportedly not in a good place in their marriage. The couple tied the knot in 2022. Just two years later, they allegedly already have divorce papers signed and ready to file.
Lopez and Affleck have stark differences in lifestyles, which may have led to their decision to separate. While Affleck lives a low-key life away from the spotlight in LA, Lopez adores her fans and hopes to continue to tour with her music. Lopez and Affleck also had very different birthday celebrations during the 2024 summer. While Lopez had a Bridgerton-themed bash in the Hamptons that she posted about on Instagram, Affleck had a quiet party with family at home.
“It’s exactly what he wanted,” a source told People regarding Affleck’s birthday party. “He didn’t want to go out to celebrate. The kids had gifts for him, and it was cute. Jennifer [Lopez] stopped by to congratulate him.”
Lopez didn’t wish Affleck a happy birthday in 2024. However, a day after his birthday, she promoted Delola, her brand of alcoholic beverages that she started in 2023, on Instagram. Affleck doesn’t drink alcohol and has entered rehab multiple times in the past.
Lopez posted a clip of her drinking a Delola cocktail from a large bottle. “See how I do this, how I drink from the bottle? Very demure,” she said, referencing a viral TikTok while taking a swig. “Very mindful. I don’t just chug it. I just don’t … all the way down. Just little — little by little. Very elegant, swelling it, demure, mindful.” She ended the video by taking another swig.
