In May 2024, the internet erupted over Jennifer and Ben’s marriage because they weren’t seen in public together for nearly 50 days. Not only that, but social media users also noticed that the “On the Floor” hitmaker “liked” an Instagram post that described relationship issues.
The original post mentioned a person who “cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity & emotional safety … lacks effective communication skills,” and “doesn’t know who they are or what they want.”
The post’s user @yourcourageouscomeback claimed that Jennifer “liked” the post, according to several outlets.
“Just logged onto IG and noticed @jlo liked my post,” the user wrote alongside a screenshot of Jennifer’s official Instagram account’s “like” of the post. “Jlo or her PR team, I’ll take it.”
Nevertheless, the rumors were put to rest after PEOPLE reported on May 17 that Jennifer and Ben were, in fact, spotted out together. The spouses were both reportedly wearing their wedding rings.
