After remarrying in July 2022, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck yesterday.

Jennifer. Jennifer. Jennifer.

For years, Jennifer Lopez had been outspoken about not drinking alcohol, citing the health advantages of being alcohol-free and going so far as to say, “[Alcohol] ruins your skin.”

She was one of the few celebrities in Hollywood known for not drinking just because it was the healthy thing to do — not because she was in recovery.

On the other hand, there’s her husband, Ben Affleck, who is well known for his struggles with alcohol and very public relapses.

So, it seems rather obtuse that after eight months of marriage, Lopez launched her brand of alcoholic beverages, Delola.

Jennifer Lopez is worth $400,000,000.

Take a moment — let that wash over you.

She also has 251 million followers on Instagram.
