On the final day of August, Jennifer Lopez ended her week-long social media hiatus by sharing a mood board of photos that captured the purpose of her summer, shortly after news broke about her divorce from Ben Affleck.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, she posted a series of images accompanied by the reflective caption, “Oh, it was a summer.” The photos offered glimpses into her life over the past few months, including serene moments like a bubble bath, a playful dog, a new orange kitten, and a few inspirational quotes. One quote read, “Everything is revealing in divine order,” while a T-shirt slogan proclaimed, “She’s in bloom and unbothered, out of reach and at peace.”
Among the images were several stunning shots of Lopez herself. One showed her in a white one-piece swimsuit, capturing a mirror selfie of her back, while another featured her in a chic white mini dress with a striking red bow at the waist, paired with matching deep burgundy accessories. She also shared a playful moment enjoying ice cream in a white and mint green dress.
Lopez included a heartwarming photo with her sister, Lynda Lopez, and several images of her children enjoying the season, particularly bonding with the new kitten. The public learned of Lopez’s divorce filing on August 20, following a summer where she remained in New York, while Affleck moved out of their Los Angeles home. Her filing listed April 26, their two-year wedding anniversary, as the date of separation.
Although the former couple has yet to make an official statement, sources told Us Weekly that they had been trying to salvage their relationship through therapy but eventually realized they were too different to make it work. The time apart made it clear that their differences were irreconcilable.
