Jennifer Lopez has appeared without the matching tattoo she got with Ben Affleck.
If you needed a distraction from your own recent break-up - because apparently August was the month everyone decided to shed their partners for the new season - then feel free to join other celeb lovers in fixating over J Lo and Ben Affleck's divorce.
After around twenty years apart, Lopez and Affleck reconnected in 2021 and got married the year later.

And the following February (2023), the pair debuted matching tattoos around Valentines Day, with Lopez sharing photographs of them on Instagram alongside the caption: "Commitment... Happy Valentine’s Day my love. #CommitmentIsSexy, #ThisIsUsThen, #ThisIsUsNow and #ThisIsMeNow."
Affleck got his tattoo on the side of his torso and Lopez got hers just above her ribcage, with the Gone Girl actor's tattoo showing two overlapping arrows with the initials of his and Lopez's first names above and below.
Lopez's tattoo showed an infinity symbol with the pair's names woven together.
However, it would appear the singer's tattoo has since been removed - or potentially just covered up - since she filed for divorce from the actor last month.
Lopez was spotted at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her film Unstoppable wearing a Tamara Ralph gown.
The dress was open at the sides and after taking a closer glimpse, fans have since flocked to social media to point out they can't see a hint of the tattoo.
One Twitter user said: "Looks like Jennifer Lopez is moving on and making a fresh start! Covering up that tattoo is a powerful statement. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to embrace change."
Another added: "Sis is moving fast past him I'm here for it."
A third commented: "And we love that for her!"
However, someone else said: "It’s covered with makeup. You can’t get a tattoo removed that fast it takes like five sessions."
A fifth argued: "People have to remember that when all these actresses look great in nude clothing is because their entire body is spray-painted before they even get into the dress so their skin looks flawless."
Either way, makeup or not, the tattoo was clearly not on display.
Whether Affleck has since had his removed or will choose to cover it up if ever he bears his torso in public, who knows, but one thing's for sure, their divorce is pending, with Lopez having filed documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
