Fans of Jennifer Lopez believe that she may have subtly communicated with her reportedly separated husband, Ben Affleck, through her most recent Instagram post. In the video posted on Sunday, the 55-year-old actress promoted Delola while showcasing her beautiful appearance in a yellow and white striped tank top by the poolside of her $65M Los Angeles mansion that she is currently selling. Interestingly, Lopez was seen wearing her wedding rings from Ben in the video. Her caption, ‘Slush summer crush,’ accompanied the post, but it was her choice of music that caught fans’ attention. The singer used a remix of her previous hit If You Had My Love, which led fans to speculate whether the lyrics were a message to Ben regarding doubts in their relationship and references to infidelity. One follower even questioned, ‘Is this song for Ben???’
Jennifer Lopez’s followers believe she may have subtly communicated with her rumored ex-husband, Ben Affleck, through her recent Instagram post. In a video posted on Sunday, the 55-year-old actress and singer promoted Delola while playing the song “If You Had My Love,” a track that revolves around the theme of trust.
The singer was hanging out with her fashion expert and singing instructor while preparing flavorful smoothies. In her lyrics, she softly sings, questioning loyalty and trust in a relationship, asking if her love would be reciprocated faithfully or deceitfully. She sets clear boundaries, stating she won’t tolerate infidelity and demands honesty for a genuine connection.
This song was first unveiled in 1999, three years prior to her encounter with Ben on the film set of Gigli. Although they got engaged, their relationship ended before they could exchange vows. Recent reports suggest that Jennifer Lopez’s close circle is not fond of Ben, including her longtime manager Benny Medina, as they reportedly have a strained relationship with lingering animosity from the past. Despite their successful collaborations in Jennifer’s early career, their professional ties were severed in 2003.
The gorgeous woman from the Bronx was seen wearing her wedding rings, which were given to her by Affleck, even though they haven’t been seen together in public for two months.
Sources close to Jennifer Lopez have reportedly been critical of Ben Affleck since their first relationship in the early 2000s. In November 2023 in LA, these issues seem to have resurfaced. According to multiple sources, Affleck influenced Lopez’s decision to part ways with Medina. Despite their history and a broken engagement in 2004, Lopez reconnected with Benny as her manager just a few years later. Benny has since been a trusted advisor to Lopez, especially during her time in the Hamptons away from Affleck. Another source mentioned that Benny chose to remain quiet and diplomatic during Lopez’s rekindled romance with Affleck, neither praising nor criticizing the situation. It was believed that Lopez was set on marrying Affleck regardless of anyone’s opinion. Additionally, Lopez’s friendship with Leah Remini faced a strain during her time with Affleck, but there is no indication that Affleck played a direct role in that fallout.
Lopez was spotted with her group in New York City on July 26.
Reports had previously claimed that Jennifer had distanced herself from Leah and even excluded her from her wedding after Leah suggested that Jennifer should reconsider whether the issues with Ben that led to their initial breakup were still present.
However, the two former friends were able to move past their differences earlier this year, with Leah reported to have spent time with Jennifer and provided support during Jennifer’s rumored marital troubles with Ben.
According to another source, ‘Nobody, aside from [Lopez’s] mother, really likes Ben Affleck. He’s a total jerk.’ This claim was supported by recent rumors that Affleck has been stalling on filing for divorce in an attempt to win Jennifer back.

A different source stated that Jennifer was completely caught off guard by the news of an impending divorce and had never considered it as a possibility less than two years into their relationship. However, another insider shared that it was already too late for reconciliation, as Ben had taken the initiative to reunite, leaving Jennifer feeling embarrassed. The same source mentioned that Jennifer would have been furious had she known they would split up so soon.
On Thursday, Ben was seen working in Los Angeles, while rumors from In Touch suggested that he was putting off filing for divorce to spare Jennifer any humiliation. This delay is supposedly linked to the production of the film Unstoppable, in which Jennifer is starring alongside Ben. Both Ben and his longtime friend, Matt Damon, who is also involved as a producer, are reportedly heavily invested in the film’s success. Therefore, Ben is allegedly postponing the divorce to prevent any negative impact on the movie’s performance or Jennifer’s public image.
