Jennifer Lopez hints life is 'better' after Ben Affleck divorce as she turns 57 with telling post

Jennifer Lopez seemingly hinted that her life is 'better' following her divorce from Ben Affleck as she celebrated turning 57 on Friday. 

The On The Floor songstress, who recently posed naked in a bathtub as she also marked her sister's birthday, jumped to her main Instagram page to share a clip as she rang in the special milestone. 

The star filmed herself while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle with the window rolled down. 

A strong breeze caused her long locks to whip around her face as she gazed towards the camera. 

Lopez donned a white sundress that was held up with thin straps and contained a lowcut neckline on the front. 

A warm blush and highlighter was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow, while a glossy tint was worn on her lips. 

In the caption of the post, the performer typed out, 'When you keep going it just keeps getting better.' 

Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Lopez for comment, but has yet to hear back. 

Lopez previously got candid about her thoughts towards aging and beauty during an interview with People in January. 

'I can honestly say that I think of myself five years ago and I'm a totally different person now.'

She continued, 'And a lot of that has been the journey, not just the beauty journey, but the inside.' 

The JLO Beauty founder expressed that she has 'grown so much' before adding that 'so much has happened in my life in the last five years.' 

'I really feel like I'm a different, more self-realized, self-aware person, and that contributes to the beauty,' the Office Romance actress told the outlet. 

During a conversation with Oprah Daily in 2023, Lopez shared that she has a positive outlook on getting older. 

'Honestly, when I think of my younger self, I laugh,' the singer admitted. 'Now I feel so much more confident and like I know myself more. I've earned the right to be comfortable in my life and in my skin.'

However, Lopez explained that it takes 'years of work to get there. That's something to look forward to, not something to dread.'

The star's younger sister Lynda also recently celebrated her 55th birthday which took place on June 14. 

And earlier this week, Lopez gave her followers a closer glimpse at the 'double birthday sister trip' that the pair had taken together. 

The singer uploaded a photo which captured her soaking in a bathtub while nibbling on a tasty treat. Lynda was sitting on the floor nearby while also indulging in the same treat. 

Another snap showed the siblings blowing out candles that were placed on top of a sugary dessert. 

'A double birthday sister trip is always a good idea!! I love you Lynnie!! Happy birthday!!' the songstress wrote in the caption. 

Her birthday comes only days after what would have been her fourth wedding anniversary with Affleck. 

Lopez previously rekindled her romance with Affleck back in 2021 after the pair had initially split in 2004.

The two stars went on to say 'I do' in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022 and took part in a larger ceremony in August 2022 at the actor's Georgia property in front of family as well as close friends.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding. The divorce was finalized in early 2025.

Despite the split, the pair seemingly have remained on good terms and have also worked on projects post-divorce such as the film Kiss Of The Spider Woman (2025).

The former couple reunited as they walked the red carpet at the premiere of the movie in NYC in October 2025.

A source told People at the time that there is 'no romantic union' but stated that the pair are 'in a really good place.'

The insider added, 'They continue to support each other. They're both proud of what they accomplished together.'

While having a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, the Gone Girl actor also offered insight into her relationship with his children post-divorce.

'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular. Great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.'

He continued, 'I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.'

Lopez is mom to 18-year-old twins Max and Oskar (formerly Emme), whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony. Affleck also shares Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Following the divorce, the songstress has been vocal about embracing her single era.

Back in March during an interview with Juju Chang on Nightline, Lopez was asked if she was in a hurry to meet someone new.

'No! No I'm not! God forbid, I don't want to ruin anything!' she revealed. 'It's so nice right now! I'm so happy! It's the best. I just feel really good right now.

'And that was a scary thing for me when I was younger. I didn't know if I could do that. I was always really afraid to be alone.'

The singer also discussed her relationship status during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! last month in June.

At one point during the interview, Kimmel asked the On The Floor hitmaker, 'You're single right now?'

'I am!' she confirmed with a cheerful smile as the audience erupted into supportive cheers and applause.

'I should have done it sooner,' Lopez further expressed to the host. 'I've been doing it all wrong. I've been doing it all wrong, trust me.'
