Jennifer Lopez Turns to Booze Amid Ben Affleck Drama

Jennifer Lopez seems to find solace at the bottom of a rich bottle of Delola, relishing the much-needed distraction from the overwhelming Ben Affleck divorce rumors. The potential downfall of Bennifer 2.0 has reared its way into the tabloids in recent days. While this mostly has to do with Jennifer and Ben noticeably living separate lives and house-hunting, neither party is yet willing to break their silence on their marital situation. Regardless, one glance at the couple and their current relationship dynamics points to the fact that all is not well in paradise. The extent though remains to be said.

Jennifer Lopez Celebrates Success Despite Ben Affleck Divorce Buzz

Despite the challenging situation the pair find themselves in, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are not slowing down on the career front. The Atlas star, who further intensified the divorce rumors by going stag to the premiere of her latest film took to Instagram this week to celebrate her success while promoting more career endeavors.

In the video shared to her Instagram account, Jennifer Lopez looked as happy and chill as ever hanging out with her pals at a backyard grill party, without Ben Affleck in sight. Wearing a strapless floral gown, the actress sat in the backyard of her $60 million Bel Air home, with a spread of grilled fruits and her Delola Paloma Rosa cocktail in front of her.

Directly addressing fans, Jennifer Lopez introduced an adventurous way to enjoy Delola while grilling this summer. She introduced the savory inclusion of fresh fruit grills to use as cocktail garnishes, demonstrating with a slice of grilled orange, pineapple and even peaches. Her pals came in handy, manning the grill and handing her the crispy delights on a platter to ensure her promotional video progressed with ease.

The trio concluded by cheering for success, a great tour, and their beautiful friend group. Via caption, the Can’t Get Enough crooner, who is gearing up for her Greatest Hits tour in July, described the spritz cocktail as her go-to Summer drink, writing,

“My go-to summer drink: @Delola Cocktails with grilled fruit garnish. Enjoy the long weekend lovers. Salud 🩵✨ #JLOLIVE.”

JLo Criticized for Alcoholic Venture

Jennifer Lopez has faced criticism in the past over her decision to launch her Delola Cocktail while married to Ben Affleck. Many accused the singer of being insensitive and money-driven, knowing her husband’s struggles with alcoholism. Additionally, some fans called out her seemingly hypocritical ways, for promoting her alcohol brand despite her aversion to alcohol.

The continuous criticism forced Jennifer to defend herself last July. She clarified that while she steered clear of alcohol for over a decade, she has become a social drinker in recent years, indulging occasionally without getting “shit-faced.” With yet another failed marriage looming over her amid Ben Affleck divorce rumors, Jennifer Lopez would certainly need all the booze she could get, and perhaps, a garnish of friendship.
