In a surprising twist following her recent split from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez appears to be thriving.
On August 31, the pop icon shared a vibrant collection of summer snapshots on her Instagram, showcasing a season filled with adventure and self-discovery, far removed from any heartache.
Lopez, at 55, embraced the summer with a European getaway and a month-long stay in the Hamptons, while Affleck remained in Los Angeles.
The couple, once the talk of the town, seemed to drift apart, with Affleck often spotted both with and without his wedding band.
It seems that distance didn’t make the heart grow fonder for these two.
The singer officially filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, marking April 26 as their date of separation.
A source close to the situation revealed to PEOPLE that Affleck hasn’t shown any inclination to salvage their marriage, leaving Lopez feeling disheartened and neglected.
“He hasn’t demonstrated any responsibility or interest in making things work,” the insider shared.
Despite the emotional turmoil, Lopez’s Instagram post radiated positivity.
Accompanied by the caption, “Oh it was a summer,” her photo dump featured a mix of stylish selfies, family moments, and playful shots with her beloved dog.
Among the images, one slide stood out, displaying the uplifting mantra, “Everything is unfolding in divine order.”
On the same day she broke her silence on social media, Lopez was seen dancing joyfully in public, further emphasizing her resilience.
The juxtaposition of her carefree demeanor against the backdrop of her recent struggles is striking.
While some may assume she spent the summer moping, her latest posts suggest otherwise.
However, insiders indicate that the situation hasn’t been easy for Lopez.
One source disclosed that it has been incredibly challenging for her since Affleck chose to distance himself from their marriage.
“She didn’t want a divorce; she was seeking answers,” the source explained.
Lopez is known for her tenacity, and this situation is no different.
Having waited patiently for resolution, her decision to file for divorce now seems to bring a sense of relief.
Friends and family are rallying around her, affirming that this was indeed the right step for her well-being.
Surrounded by love and support, Lopez is poised to navigate this new chapter of her life.
Her strength and determination have always been evident, and this latest turn of events only underscores her ability to rise above challenges.
As she moves forward, it’s clear that Lopez is focused on herself and her happiness.
