Ben Affleck's cousin appears to take brutal dig at Jennifer Lopez amid her divorce

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from actor husband Ben Affleck last month, citing 'irreconcilable differences'

What initially started off as a rather amicable divorce appears to have descended into chaos for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, after the actor's cousin seemingly became embroiled in the former couple's split this week.

Taking to social media on Tuesday (4 September), 25-year-old Jen Affleck - who is married to Ben's second cousin, Zac - appeared to be fearing a shot at the Gone Girl frontman's now ex-wife by using J.Lo's own song.

'On The Floor' singer Jennifer, 55, filed for divorce last month (20 August) - citing 'irreconcilable differences' - following months of speculation over the status of their relationship.

After the mother-of-two made several red carpet appearances without her husband - to whom she tied the knot back in 2022, following two decades apart - and seemingly enjoyed several solo holidays, fans began to suspect trouble in paradise.

A source also told the Daily Mail earlier this year that the pair had 'finalised the divorce papers' a month prior to their August split, but were 'waiting for the right time to drop them'.

Since then, 'Bennifer' - who were first romantically-involved back in the noughties before parting ways in 2004 - have respectively remained tight-lipped on their divorce, despite a U-Haul van having been photographed outside of their Beverly Hills mansion last week.

And though neither Ben, 52, nor Jennifer, have yet made official public statements on the breakdown of their marriage after just two years, this hasn't stopped certain members of their family chiming in, including the movie star's cousin.

Jennifer Affleck - famed for her appearance on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives - took to Instagram earlier this week, where she appeared to be making a subtle jibe against Ben's now ex-wife.

Visiting a local hair salon to undergo a hair transformation, the TV star opted to soundtrack a recording of her experience with J.Lo's 2002 track 'Jenny From Block' - the video of which famously included a very baby-faced Ben Affleck.

In addition, social media star Jennifer opted to playfully caption the snap, 'The new Jenny from the block', seemingly firing shots at the musician.

This isn't the first time that Jennifer has taken to social media to reference the former couple.

When Ben and J.Lo exchanged vows two years ago, the mother-of-one wrote online: "Can’t forget that Ben Affleck is my husband's second cousin."

She added: "When you thought you were going to be the next J.Lo, but instead she stole your name."
