Jennifer Lopez information for divorce, and A-ROD shades her for it?
That’s what it seems to be like, anyway.
Now that Bennifer 2.0 is over, individuals are considering again to J. Lo’s relationship historical past. Earlier than 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 are able to solely characterize as “breakup hype,” with each Ben and Jen making very public shows of main wholly separate lives.
In keeping with her submitting, the date of separation was April of this yr. That tracks very effectively 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 stuffed with snark.
2024 has seen Jennifer Lopez launch two disappointing motion pictures on streaming. Latest years have reminded many on social media about Lopez’s historical past of allegedly not tipping or jarringly undertipping meals service and hospitality employees.
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 turning 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 either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction,” the quote learn.
That’s a reasonably innocuous quote underneath regular circumstances. On this case, one needed to surprise if it was a reference to Jennifer Lopez’s public break up.
Fact be informed, even when he’s speaking about Jennifer Lopez divorcing Ben Affleck — which does appear doubtless — it’s not essentially shade. Neither is it in any other case insulting.
Shade usually takes the type of a backhanded praise.
Nonetheless, if something, it sounded as if A-ROD had been merely saying that Jennifer Lopez would possibly as effectively be the one deciding that her relationship is over. That’s not essentially shading her.
That is definitely a posh time for her
Alex Rodriguez has used obscure quotes up to now to seemingly touch upon issues — together with his 2021 breakup with Jennifer Lopez.
However, 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 nasty concept.
Typically, “I told you so” can wait. And that goes for folks in each of their social circles.
