It seems like Jennifer Lopez is officially over Ben Affleck—for the second time. The former power couple’s divorce was finalized in January 2025, and according to the actress, enough time has passed to put her in her “happy era.” While many fans are happy for her, many are one eye roll away from saying, “we’ve heard that before.” Keep reading for more information.

Jennifer Lopez In Her 'Happy Era'
With a post to her Instagram account on April 10th, JLo teased her upcoming rom-com, Office Romance, which she stars in alongside Brett Goldstein. Rather than sharing clips of the upcoming Netflix film, though, she reminded her fans that she's the best in the business, dropping some never-before-seen shots of her hit rom-com Maid in Manhattan, which hit theaters over 20 years ago.
"Some never before seen BTS on the set of Maid in Manhattan by the incredible @BarryWetcher," Lopez wrote in her caption, shouting out the photographer. The carousel of photos featured some solo shots as well as moments captured with her co-stars, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Bob Hoskins, and Natasha Richardson.
"So many feelings!" she continued. "Such wonderful memories! And now with Office Romance, I am back in my RomCom era. It's OUR Happy Era!!!"
Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, it seems like fans were feeling a strong sense of déjà vu, recalling that Lopez has made similar proclamations after her previous breakups. "She gives the same speech after every divorce," one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"She will fall in love with the 10th love of her life soon," another person tweeted.
"She's doing too much!" another person wrote. "Sometimes you have to bow out gracefully as a woman should!"
Other fans were more supportive, though, posting notes like, "Living the happy era like a boss!" and "Finally free of them mediocre men and she's glowing! Don't settle for breadcrumbs girls!"
"Good for you, keep on living!" a final fan said.
