Jennifer Lopez has broken her social media silence after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck.

Lopez filed for divorce earlier this week, with court documents listing the date of their separation as 26 April.

The papers, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, did not state any details of a prenuptial agreement, saying that both will need to disclose their financial information, including current income, expenses, properties and debts.

Lopez and Affleck are also mandated to share any changes to their finances 'until there is a final agreement about all financial issues in your case'.

The pair have not spoken out publicly since the divorce papers were filed, but Lopez has now broken her silence with her first social media post.

The star reshared a glamorous previous selfie of hers, which had been posted by a fan account that she follows.

The image wasn't accompanied by any sort of caption, with People reporting that the snap appeared to originally be from a December 2020 photoshoot.

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

Their first ceremony took place in Las Vegas in July 2022, which was followed up with a larger second ceremony in Georgia just a month later.

Lopez said at the time: “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient."

Rumours had been circling about the couple's impending split for some time, with Lopez recently seen holidaying separately and not wearing her wedding ring as she spent the 4th of July alone.

Last month, the pair were also reported to have put their 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom California mansion on the market for $68,000,000, while Affleck wasn't in attendance for the premiere of Lopez's movie Atlas in Mexico - where the Hustlers star deflected the divorce rumours when asked by a reporter.

During the press conference, a reporter asked her: "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumours?

“What is the truth? For the Mexican press, what is the truth of the situation?”

Her co-star, Simu Liu, leapt to her defence, saying: "Ok, we’re not doing that.

“Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate it. Thank you.”

Lopez herself then leaned forward and chided: "You know better than that.”
