In a delightful display of resilience and humor, Jennifer Lopez showed the world how to handle a solo Valentine’s Day with style. The multi-talented star, known for turning life’s moments into opportunities for connection with her fans, shared a playful message on social media that captured both her spirit and wit.
Dressed in an eye-catching ensemble featuring a bright pink dress and matching furry coat, Lopez took to Instagram Stories and Facebook with a clever spin on her iconic 2001 hit. “My Valentine’s Day playlist: Self-Love Don’t Cost A Thing,” she wrote, accompanying the message with a curated Spotify playlist – a thoughtful gift to followers who might also be celebrating the holiday solo.
The 55-year-old superstar’s lighthearted approach to her first Valentine’s Day since finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck demonstrates her characteristic grace under the spotlight. The couple, who captured headlines with their rekindled romance and subsequent marriage in 2022, recently completed their divorce proceedings, with the marriage officially set to end on February 20.
Meanwhile, Affleck spent his Valentine’s Day immersed in work, promoting his upcoming film “The Accountant 2.” The sequel, set to release on April 25, 2025, reunites him with Jon Bernthal in a complex story about forensic accounting and family ties. The film, directed by Gavin O’Connor, follows Christian Wolff (Affleck) and his brother Brax (Bernthal) as they navigate a murder investigation involving a Treasury agent.
Behind the scenes, the former couple has handled their separation with remarkable professionalism. They’ve reached private agreements regarding their joint assets, including their $61 million Beverly Hills mansion. Despite marrying without a prenuptial agreement, they’ve managed to navigate the division of their combined $550 million worth of assets, of which $400 million belongs to Lopez.
Lopez’s Valentine’s Day message serves as a reminder that self-love and resilience can transform even the most challenging transitions into moments of empowerment. Her ability to reference her own iconic music while embracing this new chapter demonstrates why she remains one of entertainment’s most enduring and beloved figures.
