Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck shut down critics of their love with an envy-inducing birthday post. Jennifer and Ben tied the knot in July 2022, about two decades after their first romantic entanglementย blossomed. While Bennifer 2.0 seemed like a love story torn out of the pages of a fairy tale, some fans believe it is a ploy. However, the couple has yet to address any claims questioning their love for each other. On the contrary, they’ve led theirย lives as a couple, enjoying their moments on the red carpets, during outdoor dates, and in their private spaces.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Singalong In Birthday Post
Jennifer’s latest Instagram video proves they are indeed a perfect match for each other, crushing the rumors suggesting “trouble in paradise.” In the clip, the couple looked happy in each other’s company as they sang along to the Sam Cooke songย What A Wonderful Worldย while driving through the streets.ย
The love birds color-coordinated their casual outfits, with Jennifer opting for a white tank top while Ben wore a white round-neck top over his khaki pants. Jennifer Lopez shared the video on Instagram in honor of Ben Affleck’s 51st birthday. The 54-year-old further stressed her love for her husband in her caption, referencing her 2000s songย Dear Ben, dedicated to him.ย Sheย wrote,
“Dear Ben… Happy Birthday. I love you.”
The playful vibes both displayed while singing and the glow on their faces as they enjoyed each other’s company stood as proof of their happiness. Jennifer and Ben Affleck’s envy-inducing birthday display seemed to sway fans away from the belief that Ben was unhappy in his marriage, especially as he watered down his usual aloof expression.
Many took to the comment section to voice their admiration for the beautiful couple, pointing out how happy they looked together. One fan wrote,
“Fโk everyone [and] everything nothing beats real Love.”
Another wrote,
“True love always finds its way back.”
More fans wished them happiness in their marital journey of love, making reference toย Dear Ben 2,ย set to feature in the crooner’s upcoming album. A fan commented,
“I am so glad that you both are happy. Happy birthday Ben. Canโt wait for the new album and the song dear Ben.”
Bennifer 2.0 Has Been a Challenging Ride
Others simply joined the outpouring of love to Ben Affleck, extending him birthday wishes. The birthday tribute comes weeks after Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck signed a postnup agreement protecting their respective interests in case of a divorce. While their love life seems solid, judging by her birthday tribute, their marriage has been controversial from the onset.
In fact, many have accused the JLo Beauty founder of roping Ben into the marriage, citing instances of the actor appearing unhappy in his marriage. Meanwhile, others deem Ben undeserving of his second chance with Jennifer. Theirย highly-scrutinized body languageย while in public has done little to beat down these assertions, leading to prevailing rumors their divorce was on the horizon. By the looks, the only real threat to their marriage is the paparazzi picking them apart at every turn, as Jennifer has constantly voiced.
