Jennifer Lopez Issues Statement to Fans

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday on July 24, 2024. The “Marry Me” actress posted a lengthy message to her fans to thank them for their well wishes on her special day.

“I’ve been seeing all of your birthday wishes, beautiful videos, and posts all last night and this morning from all over the world. I have laughed, smiled, shed some tears, and when I saw the billboard in Times Square, I was completely overwhelmed. I really do have the best, most amazing fans in the world. I could never express how moved I am or how incredibly blessed I feel to have all of you be a part of my life. Thank you sooooo very much,” she captioned an Instagram post.

In the photos accompanying the post, Lopez wore mint green pajamas and posed in front of a three-tier birthday cake.

The message comes after weeks of rumors that Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, are on the outs. Reports have indicated that the two have decided to end their 2-year marriage, though neither have addressed the status of their relationship.
