On Saturday, Jennifer Lopez turned 52 years old, posted several photos in a stunning bikini, one photo of a kiss with Ben Affleck, and a video in which she posed in said bikini on a yacht in the South of France.

Here’s that kiss:

Also, if you need a laugh (and you appreciate a good New England reference), there’s this one:

Per The Daily Mail, Affleck flew J.Lo to Saint-Tropez on a flight that reportedly cost $200,000. They spent her big day on a mega-yacht that the Mail said was an estimated $130 million yacht.

Yesterday marked the couple’s first kiss on Instagram, but it was actually not the occasion that marked their Instagram official status. Last Thursday, they made their Instagram-official debut in a roundabout way.

The renewed couple showed up on Leah Remini’s Instagram in a video montage from her birthday party.

Yes, Remini is in the image, but it was the first time the couple showed up on social media in a photo that wasn’t taken by paparazzi in 2021 or snapped in the early aughts. Very exciting stuff!

Early this month, Lopez gave an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, in which she talked about how happy she is right now.

“I’m super happy,” she said. “I know people are always wondering. How are you? What’s going on? Are you okay? This is it. I’ve never been better. And I want my people who care about me because I care about them so much, to know that I’ve really gotten to a place in my life where I'm great on my own. And I think once you get to that place, then amazing things happen to you that you never imagine in your life happening again. And so that is where I’m at. And I love all the love that’s coming my way right now and all of the, the good wishes. And I just want everybody to know that it’s the best time. It’s the best time of my life.”

She did not specifically reference Affleck, but the context of their relationship was definitely there.

Later this month, she also gave an interview to Ebro Darden for Apple Music 1, where she made reference to her breakup with Alex Rodriguez:

“Once you get to the point where you're like, ‘This is not right for me, or this doesn’t feel good, or I need to make an adjustment here. This is not really about anybody else but me.’ Once you do that, stuff starts falling into place.”
