Jennifer Lopez recordsdata for divorce, and A-ROD shades her for it?
That’s what it seems like, anyway.
Now that Bennifer 2.0 is over, individuals are considering again to J. Lo’s relationship historical past. Before Ben Affleck, her most up-to-date ex was Alex Rodriguez.
And A-ROD appears to be shading her over the collapse of her marriage. Harsh!
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are (formally) divorcing
On Tuesday, August 20, information broke that Jennifer Lopez has filed to divorce Ben Affleck.
This information adopted months of what we will solely characterize as “breakup hype,” with each Ben and Jen making very public shows of main wholly separate lives.
According to her submitting, the date of separation was April of this 12 months. That tracks very properly with the 2 not showing collectively on the Met Gala, vacationing individually, and outright ignoring one another’s birthdays from reverse coasts.
Following the information of the divorce (lastly) taking place, the whole web was crammed with snark.
2024 has seen Jennifer Lopez launch two disappointing films on streaming. Recent years have reminded many on social media about Lopez’s historical past of allegedly not tipping or jarringly undertipping meals service and hospitality staff.
As random commenters shared their ideas (and bits of schadenfreude) over the demise of Bennifer 2.0, Lopez’s (different) most up-to-date ex appeared to shade her.
Is A-ROD shading Jennifer Lopez?
On Tuesday, August 20 — inside hours of his ex-fiancee’s divorce submitting changing into information across the globe — Alex Rodriguez took to his Instagram Story to share a quote. He was quoting himself (he does that typically).
“You both go by some means, you may as properly be the one deciding the route,” the quote learn.
That’s a reasonably innocuous quote beneath regular circumstances. In this case, one needed to marvel if it was a reference to Jennifer Lopez’s public cut up.
Truth be informed, even when he’s speaking about Jennifer Lopez divorcing Ben Affleck — which does appear seemingly — it’s not essentially shade. Nor is it in any other case insulting.
Shade usually takes the type of a backhanded praise.
However, if something, it sounded as if A-ROD have been merely saying that Jennifer Lopez may as properly be the one deciding that her relationship is over. That’s not essentially shading her.
This is actually a fancy time for her
Alex Rodriguez has used imprecise quotes up to now to seemingly touch upon issues — together with his 2021 breakup with Jennifer Lopez.
But, A-ROD and his alleged shades (or phrases of consolation) apart, we’re positive that she’s listening to from everybody in her life who informed her that Bennifer 2.0 was a foul thought.
Sometimes, “I informed you so” can wait. And that goes for folks in each of their social circles.
