Jennifer Lopez breaks social media silence after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck

J.Lo has returned to Instagram following her split from Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has returned to social media for the first time since announcing her split from Ben Affleck.

Lopez filed for divorce from her husband earlier this week, with official court documents dating the separation to 26 April.

The papers, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, did not state that a prenup was arranged, which is often common in celebrity divorces.

Both parties will be ordered to disclose their finances, including their current income, expenses, properties, and any debts they owe.

The pair have not spoken publicly since news of the split came to light, but J.Lo has now taken to Instagram to break her silence.

The star reshared a selfie that a fan account had posted, with her glam looking as glittering as ever.

The post wasn't accompanied by a caption, but fans believe that the original photo was taken at a photoshoot in December 2020.

Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, got married two years ago after almost two decades apart following their first split in 2004.

They chose to have two weddings, in true celeb style, with the first taking place in Las Vegas in July 2022, and the second - much larger one - in Georgia just a month later.

She spoke about how love is patient upon announcing their marriage, after waiting over two whole decades to be wed with Affleck.

In a post, she said: "Love is beautiful. Love is kind.

"And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient."

But the split didn't totally come as a shock to fans, after rumours have been circulating for a while.

Lopez was recently seen on holiday separately to her husband and not wearing her wedding ring.

And whilst most newly-divorced couples couldn't think of anything worse than coming face-to-face with their former other-half, the 'Jen and Ben' reunion could be sooner than we think.

That's because their joint project - a heartbreaking drama movie titled Unstoppable - is due to land in cinemas very soon.

Presumably, both stars will be attending the premieres of the film, which will make for a very awkward encounter.

Whether or not the couple will appear together on the red carpet, however, is anyone's guess.

Page Six has reported that J.Lo will make an appearance as one of the main characters, while Ben will choose to stay at home in LA.

But I guess we'll just have to see...
