Jennifer Lopez has made her return to social media following news of her divorce to Ben Affleck, and she's soaking in the fan love.
The singer has been radio silent on social media in the days after it emerged she had filed for divorce but on Friday August 23 she reposted a picture shared by a fan account that showed the mom-of-two in a fluffy pink pajama set taking a selfie in front of a Christmas tree.
There was no mention of Ben or the divorce filing, but the post showed that Jennifer had been keeping an eye on social media and was focusing on herself.

After months of speculation, Jennifer filed on Tuesday August 20 in LA County Superior Court on Tuesday without an attorney present. She cited the reason for her and Ben's split as "irreconcilable differences", and the documents also state that Jennifer requested that neither she, nor Ben, be awarded spousal support.
The documents revealed their date of separation was April 26, 2024.

It is believed that neither Ben nor Jen signed a prenuptial agreement meaning their individual earnings from the past two years could be considered community property during the divorce proceedings.
The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in 2022, have reportedly been living apart since May.

Violet, 18, Fin, 16, 12-year-old Samuel, in Georgia.
However they also spent their second wedding anniversary this summer apart, and further adding fuel to the fire was the news that they had placed their $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills on the market.
