In the midst of a tumultuous divorce, Jennifer Lopez is finding solace in unexpected places.
Despite her rocky relationship with Ben Affleck taking center stage, it appears that her bond with his family remains intact, particularly with Kaley Cowan, the girlfriend of Ben’s brother, Casey Affleck.
The 55-year-old pop icon has garnered support from Kaley, who has publicly defended her in light of the backlash following the couple’s split.
Kaley Cowan, 26, has been dating Casey since 2021.
She recently opened up about her admiration for Jennifer, describing her as one of the “most beautiful and sweetest people” she knows.
In an interview with DailyMail.com, Kaley expressed her affection for the Grammy-winning star, stating, “I love her so much.
Jane is a very generous and genuine person.” Her heartfelt remarks highlight the close relationship they have developed over time.
The backlash against Jennifer has been intense since the announcement of her divorce from Ben.
Critics have pointed fingers at her alleged obsession with celebrity culture and her decision to produce a documentary chronicling their love story as contributing factors to their marital woes.
Yet, Kaley stands firm in her belief that Jennifer deserves more kindness than she has received.
Kaley continued her defense, lamenting the negativity directed toward Jennifer.
“I hate that she gets so much hate because she’s truly one of the kindest, kindest people ever,” she said.
“She sends flowers for our birthdays, which is really thoughtful since she has so much going on.” It’s clear that Kaley sees the genuine heart behind the superstar’s public persona.
Jennifer and Ben’s journey has been anything but straightforward.
Their first attempt at marriage nearly two decades ago ended before it began, but they reignited their romance in 2021.
They tied the knot in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a star-studded celebration at Penn’s Mansion in Georgia just weeks later.
However, the road to their happily ever after hit a bump when Casey failed to attend the second wedding.
His absence raised eyebrows, especially when he told reporters he had other commitments.
Nonetheless, he later took to social media to extend warm wishes to Jennifer, playfully referencing the quirks of the Affleck family dynamic.
“Good things are worth the wait,” Casey captioned a nostalgic photo of himself with Ben and Jennifer taken back in 2002.
His message hinted at the complexities of love and family, inviting everyone to embrace the ups and downs that come with it.
“Welcome to the family.
Get ready for some real glitches,” he joked, showcasing his lighthearted approach to familial chaos.
In a now-deleted comment on Casey’s post, Kaley provided insight into his absence during the wedding festivities.
