There?s been some commentary about ?why did Puerto Rican celebrities only get involved in this election when Tony Hinchcliffe said Puerto Rico is ?floating island of garbage??? While I think that criticism is fair when it?s lodged at Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, both of whom seemed particularly pissed off about Hinchcliffe, it?s not fair criticism of Jennifer Lopez. J.Lo has been a Democrat for a while. She?s been getting more politically involved for years, especially when Donald Trump was in office. She even appeared at Oprah?s town hall event with Kamala Harris in Michigan a few months back. Do I think J.Lo is doing more for the Harris-Walz campaign specifically because of Trump?s Nazi rally? For sure. But she?s been a Harris supporter, a Biden supporter and an Obama supporter for years. Anyway, Jennifer appeared at Kamala Harris?s Las Vegas rally on Halloween.
There was a great speech for J.Lo with some great lines. ?I remember growing up, thinking my president cared about me, cared about my parents, cared about my neighbors and my community, not just some Americans, but all Americans.? She also spoke about the Nazi rally at MSG: ?At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels. It wasn?t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, OK? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character.? She fought back tears as she said, ?This is our country, too? You know what? We should be emotional. We should be upset. We should be scared and outraged. We should. Our pain matters. We matter. Your voice and your vote matters.? So good.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck one month ago exactly. Following that divorce filing, she spent one full week getting her side out there, with ?sources? telling People Magazine what actually happened behind the scenes in the past year. There were stories about Ben?s mood swings, and how Ben basically ghosted her in April and began moving his sh-t out of their house while she was working in New York. Ben was also the one behind their documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, and on and on. Basically, Jennifer was washing her hands of Ben and ensuring that she didn?t get the blame for everything that went down. I also believe Jen was behind the Kick Kennedy rumors too Ben was seeing or is seeing Kick Kennedy, which likely started over the summer.
Anyway, all of that worked. Jennifer has, from where I sit, positioned herself pretty well. She?s hurt and sad, but she?s also making her peace with the fact that Ben sucks. Then there was a disruption in this ?onwards? energy last weekend, when Ben and J.Lo pap-strolled at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their kids. Reportedly, Ben was handsy with her and they were kissing and being affectionate. Ben gets turned on when a woman publicly puts him on blast, apparently. Well, Bennifer reunited once again this week:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are doing their best when it comes to their kids TMZ has learned they walked into a school together despite their divorce in full swing.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the exes were seen making their way to the back-to-school night Tuesday at an L.A. area school where they each have kids that attend. Our sources tell us the exes were totally cool with each other and very cordial.
But don?t get it twisted our sources are adamant they?re not rekindling anything theyre still getting divorced.
Were told theyre a couple who still care for each other theyre wrapped up in a years-long love affair.
But their kids are the real focus. Just last week, the two, along with their respective children, were spotted at The Beverly Hills Hotel, where witnesses saw them kissing and holding hands during the lunch.
[From TMZ]
As I said in the hotel photos from last weekend Ben?s kids seem to get along really well with Jennifer, and Jennifer?s kids were giving Ben the ?he ain?t sh-t? stinkeye. I don?t think Max and Emme want any part of this, but Ben?s kids are so disappointed that their dad fked up another marriage. Anyway, I absolutely hope that Jennifer has given up on Ben and that none of these outings lead to reconciliation. That being said, I feel like J.Lo is exactly the kind of woman who will keep making this same mistake, over and over.
One nice thing J.Lo appeared at Kamala Harriss Michigan town hall, hosted by Oprah. Jennifer appeared virtually! Shes a big Dem and she hates Trump.

As we discussed, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were out in Beverly Hills on Saturday with their children. They went to the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel for lunch, and they got pap?d going into and out of the hotel. In front of the cameras, their body language seemed weird, not loved up. At one point, it looked like Ben was getting in Jennifer?s face about something. Jennifer also seems close to his kids one of them gave Jen a big hug as they said goodbye, while Max and Emme were seemingly giving Ben the stinkeye. Having watched the way everything has gone down in the past four weeks, I?m getting the vibe that people in Ben?s life are actually disappointed in him and sad that he sabotaged this marriage. Those people include his kids.
While the photos have a weird energy, Page Six was the only outlet claiming that Jennifer and Ben were actually kissing and affectionate while having lunch at the Polo Lounge. Now a new Page Six story claims that Ben couldn?t keep his hands off of Jen, and it was also his idea to do the pap stroll outside the hotel.
Ben Affleck ?could not keep his hands off? Jennifer Lopez at their brunch on Saturday, a source exclusively told Page Six. The ?Argo? director wanted to meet his estranged wife at the Beverly Hills Hotel to show that they?re ?friends,? and get their pics taken. But he wound up not being able to keep his hands off his ex, sources exclusively told us.
The estranged couple was having brunch with their children at the famed Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday ? and the stars were seen ?holding hands and kissing.?
A source tells us it was the ?Justice League? star?s idea for the former pair to meet at the high-profile spot in hopes of getting their pic snapped. But Affleck apparently wasn?t counting on finding the ?On The Floor? singer so irresistible in person, says our source.
?Once they were together, he could not keep his hands off,? our source said.
The insider added, ?They have always had a lot of sexual chemistry. That was not planned. They are still attracted to one another.?
?It was Ben Affleck?s idea to meet there,? the insider said. ?He wanted to show that they are friendly exes. He wanted those photos. You go there when you want to be seen. Paparazzi hang out there.?
[From Page Six]
For what it?s worth, Jennifer?s team clearly went to People Magazine to dampen the speculation that the Bennifer Reunification is back on. Sources close to J.Lo maintain that this whole thing was just a ?fun lunch so the kids could hang out? and that Jen is ?trying to be friendly with Ben. They are still moving forward with the divorce though. They are working out financial details amicably. The same source said: A divorce is never easy, but Jennifer doesnt want to be selfish about it. The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority.
So what the hell is going on? My theory is that Jennifer actually believed that she was done with Ben and she made sure that she fought back and let everyone know that she?s not the reason why they?re divorcing, that Ben is moody and he shut down and ghosted her. But Ben loves nothing more than when she?s suddenly unavailable to him. All I know is that his side is suddenly very eager to make it sound like Ben is open to giving it another go. If that happens, it will break me, ISTG.

Soon after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, we heard that Jennifer still planned to attend the Toronto International Film Festival to support Unstoppable, a film which was produced by Ben. Ben skipped TIFF altogether, so J.Lo went solo at the premiere. Matt Damon went to TIFF as well (Damon also produced the film). While J.Lo and Matt didn?t make a big show of support for one another, they did pose together briefly at the premiere, with other people.
Jennifer did the most to serve FACE and BODY and it worked. The body is incredible, and the face is holding up. Her premiere look was Tamara Ralph a slinky mirrored dress tied at the sides with ribbons. Jennifer was not wearing a bra or knickers. She?s really going through it. I mean, I love this she didn?t show up to the premiere looking like a sad sack or like the Widow Affleck. She?s like badda-boom, I?m glamorous and I won?t apologize for it.
Speaking of no apologies, the Hollywood Reporter overheard Jennifer telling Bobby Cannavale that she?s a ?bad picker? when it comes to guys and then she said, ?It is what it is.? It?s true. She is a bad picker or she has a bad picker. But as I?ve said, the more I hear about the way Ben courted her and went after her, the more I understand why she fell for him again. She really did not expect him to just lose interest and ghost her.
Incidentally, it?s always widely rumored that Matt Damon and J.Lo can?t stand each other. I think there?s always been more nuance to it back in the Original Bennifer days, I think Matt was more of the opinion that Ben was in over his head and about to crash out, big-time (which was true). But I do believe Matt was somewhat supportive for the second go-around, and Ben and J.Lo socialized with Matt and his wife Luciana. Well, People Mag reported exclusively that Jennifer and Matt ?hung out and talked for over 20 minutes at the afterparty, which was held at EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton.? She joined Matt and Luciana at a table at the party, and then ?Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation? according to a source. At one point, their conversation seemed serious and they clasped hands as they spoke. I wonder what Matt thinks about everything that?s gone down this summer.

When did we, as a society, decide that September 1st marks the beginning of fall? I saw so many ?end of summer? stories and social media posts, and I read all of them in 80-degree heat as my AC blasted. Autumn doesn?t really begin until mid-September, in my opinion. That?s when mornings and evenings are cooler and everything feels crisp. Anyway, Jennifer Lopez was one of those people marking the end of summer. J.Lo did a photo-dump with the message ?Oh, it was a summer? on her social media. I love all of the photos, especially the t-shirt reading ?she?s in bloom and unbothered out of reach and at peace.? J.Lo said: Im washing that man right out of my hair. Which is the right way to play it publicly, especially after Jennifer spent a full week ensuring that she got her side out there and everyone knows that Ben Affleck is a douchebag. Speaking of:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are both focusing on the good amid their split. Nearly two weeks after the Atlas actress, 55, filed for divorce from the Air actor-director, 52, an Affleck source tells PEOPLE that he is doing well and slowly moving into his new home.
Hes where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves, the source adds. He enjoys working too, and is very focused on the positives.
Meanwhile, a Lopez source tells PEOPLE that she still feels very fortunate with how her life is now despite feeling some bitterness about the split. She tried so hard to make things work and it didnt matter to Ben.
Shes surrounded by family, friends and her kids, the source close to Lopez says. She always manages to have a positive outlook. The divorce is difficult for her, but she always finds a way to move forward.
[From People]
Yeah, I?m still dying to know what went down in early spring, because that?s when everything seemed to fall apart for good. But I appreciate how Jennifer has handled this in recent weeks. It feels like she got some things out of her system too, and I hope she?s really done with all things Ben Affleck.

Well, Jennifer Lopez?s fourth marriage is done. People give her a lot of grief about her marriages and divorces, but she?s 55 years old? It?s not like she?s been married back-to-back four times and she?s only 30 years old or something. At least she?s spread them out. The biggest break between marriages was post-Marc Anthony. She needed to heal, she needed to get right and get her career back. She dated that backup dancer for years, then she was engaged to Alex Rodriquez, and then Ben stole her away from A-Rod. Who is next? I have no idea, but I suspect that there will be another one. Maybe not a husband, but definitely a boyfriend. Still, right now, Jennifer is mourning. Sources close to Jennifer previously told People Mag that ?she?s very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasn?t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasn?t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It?s gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself.? Here?s a follow-up:
Jennifer Lopez is taking control. Hours after the singer, 55, filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on Tuesday, Aug. 20, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively that Lopez was done waiting.
She tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken, adds the source. The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.?
Multiple sources previously confirmed that Lopez, whos mom to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed their date of separation as April 26, 2024.
Lopez and Affleck ? who is dad to Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 (with ex-wife Jennifer Garner) ? have spent much of their summer apart. Another insider close to Lopez tells PEOPLE that the star is ready to move on from Affleck, 52.
[From People]
I think she is heartbroken, completely. Watching her stupid This Is Me? Now musical and The Greatest Love Story Never Told documentary, you could see that she genuinely believed that this was it, that this was her last marriage, that Ben was The One. In her mind, she was celebrating the idea that their love was real and they found their way back to each other. Everything fell apart as she was making those projects, I absolutely believe that.
People Mag also confirms that Jennifer began looking for her own separate house in LA in April. She listed April 26th as their separation date, so there was some kind of falling out or fight or something that month.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck first got married in Las Vegas, then on August 20, 2022, they had a second wedding at Ben?s Georgia estate. There?s been some discussion about who wanted what my opinion and my memory of what went down two years ago was that Jennifer was the driving force for both weddings. While Ben popped the question of his own accord, I do feel like Jennifer wanted to lock it down quickly with the Vegas wedding before he got cold feet. The Georgia wedding was a piece of closure they were originally supposed to get married in Georgia nearly twenty years beforehand. Well, J.Lo chose the second wedding anniversary to file for divorce from Ben. It was a long time coming, and Ben had been checked out of the marriage for most of this year. But Page Six?s sources now say that Ben actually began to check out of the marriage on the honeymoon. The fk??
The honeymoon was over just as it started ?Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez?s relationship issues began on their honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy, a source familiar with the situation tells Page Six. The couple?s honeymoon included numerous public outings packed with PDA and shopping ? and, yes, there were of course cameras capturing it all.
?He was unhappy with paparazzi following them. She is an international superstar, and he acted like it came as a surprise that they would be followed around,? the source said. When they weren?t in front of the cameras, ?They would barely speak to each other during what was supposed to be the happiest time of their life. He sold her on him being a changed man, and that lasted a very short time,? our source claimed.
Another insider told us Affleck finally came to his senses about their renewed puppy love, once his sobriety ?started to settle in with normality.?
When they started seeing each other again, ?He was just getting sober ? He was in a vulnerable state, and whatever their chemistry played into that ? He was in this frenzied, excitable state,? the insider said. Affleck has been open about his struggles with alcohol in the past. He?d reportedly last returned to rehab in 2018.
The whirlwind romance soon wore off once he adjusted to his sober life. Affleck started craving more privacy, and he could no longer take Lopez?s level of celebrity, according to the insider. ?He doesn?t want [the entourage] and all the drama that comes with that in his home,? the source said.
[From Page Six]
I felt like Page Six was talking out of their ass so I actually looked back into the 2022 archives. I had no memory of a ?honeymoon in Como.? What happened is that after the Las Vegas wedding, Ben and J.Lo took their kids to Paris and they had a family vacation/honeymoon in France in July 2022. Then Bennifer had their second wedding in Georgia in August 2022, and after that, Ben and Jen went on a no-kids honeymoon in Como. They got pap?d constantly on the Paris trip (the photos were amazing, honestly), but the Como honeymoon was relatively low-key. There were some long-lens pap photos when they went out to dinner, but beyond that, we actually didn?t see much of them?
All of which to say, I think J.Lo?s fame was a factor, just as I think Ben?s sobriety was a factor. But their marriage failed for a variety of reasons, reasons which were compounded when Ben basically decided he was over it and he stopped trying.

In some ways, I?m glad that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn?t ?rush? into filing for divorce. They were very clearly separated for the past four months or so, although I think Jennifer?s moves show that she still believed that reconciliation was a possibility. But it was clear back in February that Ben had checked out of the marriage. His side has been clearly briefing about it for months, as has J.Lo?s side. Ben?s side is basically: when he?s done, he?s done, and he?s been done all year; he wants to focus on himself; he thinks this was all an expensive exercise in closure. Jennifer?s side is that she really tried and she hoped that they could make it work but Ben shut down. I also think it?s notable that she filed for divorce. He basically forced her to do it because he was so disengaged from her and their relationship/marriage. Sound familiar? He did the same thing when they broke up the first time, in 2003-04.
Jennifer Lopez approached her decision to divorce from Ben Affleck with great care, a source exclusively tells PEOPLE.
After the singer, 55, filed for divorce from the actor, 52, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, a source tells PEOPLE that she came to the painful conclusion that its time to move on for various reasons.
Shes very disappointed and sad, but Ben hasnt given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. He hasnt shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. Its gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself, says the source.
Multiple insiders confirmed to PEOPLE that the star filed for divorce from Affleck in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on the second anniversary of their wedding celebration in front of family and friends in Georgia.
[From People]
?He hasnt shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work.? Yep. He was done and he waited for her to understand that he was done. He stopped trying, he stopped making an effort. It basically took Jennifer four months to understand that there was no going back. The big thing was probably the fact that he did nothing for her birthday in July and he closed escrow on his new bachelor pad on that day. Anyway, I?ll always be Team J.Lo. I feel sorry for her, even if she should have listened to all of the advice people gave her. When Jane Fonda is like ?slow your roll, stop being so extra, this marriage might blow up in your face,? you should probably listen.

Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. She filed on their second wedding anniversary of their second wedding. In the summer of 2022, J.Lo and Ben first ?eloped? in Las Vegas in July, then they had a second wedding at Ben?s estate in Georgia on August 20, 2022. Two years later, Jennifer pulled the plug after waiting until Ben and Jennifer Garner moved Violet into her freshman dorm at Yale, which happened last weekend.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are calling it quits ? again. On Tuesday, Aug. 20, Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, more than two years after the couple married in July 2022, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE. TMZ first reported the news.
Lopez filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court and listed April 26, 2024 as the date of separation. She filed for divorce herself without using a lawyer and is technically self-represented. Although they married in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022, Aug. 20 marked the second anniversary of the traditional wedding ceremony in Georgia.
The singer did not say if there was a prenuptial agreement, and sources told TMZ there is none.
She tried really hard to make things work, and is heartbroken, a source tells PEOPLE of Lopez. ?The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.?
[From People]
Yeah, TMZ?s reporting says there?s no prenup and J.Lo filed pro per (without a lawyer). She listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024. Which checks out in February, Jennifer did the big rollout for her album (This Is Me? Now), plus the musical film and documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Ben supported her through that promotional blitz but you could tell that he was checked out of the marriage, especially given that the documentary revealed that J.Lo shared all of Ben?s love letters to her friends, music producers and songwriters. By May of this year, that?s when In Touch Weekly was the first to report that Jennifer and Ben had separated. Looks like that report was right on the money. Sigh? I wish this had turned out differently. I?m sad about this.

Look who?s back in LA! Jennifer Lopez traveled to her home in the Hamptons before the Fourth of July. She was there for well over a month a month full of chaos, divorce rumors and apparently little to no communication with Ben Affleck. Now she?s back in LA and she?s shopping for real estate. That?s what these photos show J.Lo was checking out a property in Bel Air.
As for all of the gossip? the past 48 hours have been a whirlwind of briefings from ?sources.? Chatty-ass sources are spilling their guts about Bennifer to TMZ, the Mail, Entertainment Tonight, Page Six and People Magazine. The broad strokes: Ben and Jen are not speaking to one another, they?re communicating through their managers, they will eventually file for divorce but they want to work out the details before they announce anything, and there?s a great deal of humiliation and embarrassment for all involved. In case you need some of that repackaged by People Magazine, here you go:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are considering next steps as their summer winds down. The Atlas actress, 55, hasnt seen Ben for weeks, a source tells PEOPLE. Shes been spending time in New York City and the Hamptons, where she held a large birthday bash with friends and family, sans Affleck, 51. Affleck, meanwhile, has mostly been spending time in Los Angeles, and Lopez recently returned back to L.A.
They?re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh, adds the source.
Signs that their marriage was in a bad place became evident in May, when sources said Lopez and Affleck were living under separate roofs. They put on a united front at graduation gatherings and other family milestones but later embarked on separate summer plans. They marked their two-year wedding anniversary apart in July.
Considering everything thats going on, Jennifer is having a good summer, the source says. Shes been off and able to focus on whats next. She?s enjoyed spending time with her kids, family and friends.
She always has good attitude even when things are not perfect, adds the source.
[From People]
Some of you are reading the tea leaves and saying that Ben was the one who pulled the ripcord months ago and he decided it was over. Jen spent a few months trying to make him chase her, but something shifted in recent weeks when he skipped her birthday and apparently didn?t even call her. Now she?s on the separation/divorce train too and trying to save face. Here?s the thing? I?m already primed to take her side, honestly. Like, if it went down like that and Ben was suddenly over it and began slow-walking the divorce, I?m absolutely on her side. Anyway? what if they announce everything on Ben?s birthday, the 15th?
