In a notable turn of events, comedian George Lopez has publicly criticized Jennifer Lopez for her social media activity following her recent divorce from actor Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last month on their second anniversary, citing irreconcilable differences, Mail Online reported.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who married in a discreet ceremony on July 16, 2022, celebrated their nuptials again a month later with another ceremony on August 20. However, their marital bliss proved short-lived, as their separation date appeared as April 26 in the divorce filings.
Shortly after announcing their divorce, Jennifer Lopez posted a series of photographs on social media, including a revealing picture in white strappy swimwear. This post also featured various memes that suggested she felt liberated and unbothered by recent events.
During an episode of iHeartRadio’s Politickin podcast, George Lopez openly discussed his views on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's failed marriage. He observed that Affleck seemed particularly "miserable" while married.
Lopez's commentary extended beyond personal observations; he criticized Jennifer Lopez for her post-divorce behavior. He remarked, "The minute their divorce isn’t even final, they’re already taking pictures of their ass," emphasizing his disapproval of the timing and nature of the photos.
Additionally, George Lopez compared Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s situation to that of another high-profile couple, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. He highlighted what he perceives as a more stable relationship dynamic, adding his unique comedic flair to the comparison.
In the wake of the divorce, Jennifer Lopez has been spending quality time with her twins, Max and Emme, and her sister, Lynda, focusing on family and personal well-being. In contrast, Ben Affleck has been seen with Kick Kennedy, a past acquaintance, sparking rumors of rekindled romance long before his official split from Jennifer.
Sources close to Jennifer indicate that she decided to divorce with a heavy heart. One source revealed, "She didn’t want a divorce. She wanted to figure things out." Despite the emotional turmoil, the same sources suggest that Jennifer Lopez felt relieved after filing, surrounded by love and support from friends and family.
Jennifer and Ben reportedly planned the divorce mutually, having pre-discussed it thoroughly. This approach reflects their structured and conscious uncoupling, ensuring a respectful end to their brief matrimonial chapter.
The public scrutiny and opinions such as those expressed by George Lopez highlight the intense media and celebrity attention that follows high-profile couples, particularly in times of personal upheavals such as divorces.
While Jennifer Lopez seems to embrace her new beginning with a blend of public displays and personal reinvention, Ben Affleck's path post-divorce remains a subject of public speculation and interest.
As the dust settles, both Jennifer and Ben continue to navigate their careers and personal lives independently, suggesting a resilient stride forward despite public and personal challenges.
