Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may be on good terms following their divorce, but that doesn’t mean she wanted his name to stay permanently etched on her body.

The On the Floor singer celebrated Memorial Day with her favourite people and shared photos from the holiday, many of which featured Lopez in a sexy white bikini.

“Spending the day with the people I love. Happy Memorial Day everybody,” she captioned the Instagram post.

Among the plethora of bikini pics was one snap that showed Lopez, 56, hugging her son Max, 18.

Wearing a white, flowy, backless maxi dress, J.Lo’s side was exposed, showing off a tattoo that was once a tribute to Affleck — but has since been updated.

In February 2023, the Hustlers actress revealed she got a tattoo in honour of their love — and their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple.

“Commitment. Happy Valentine’s Day my love,” she captioned a since-deleted Instagram post of the ink, an infinity sign with “Jennifer” and “Ben” written in cursive. An arrow also went through the middle of the symbol, which sat above her ribcage.

Affleck was inked with a similar design featuring two arrows crossing one another, with the letter “J” above the crossed arrows and the letter “B” below.

Lopez and Affleck, a.k.a. Bennifer, met in 2002 while filming the movie Gigli. They were engaged by November of that year, but broke up in January 2004.

Seventeen years later, they found their way back to one another and began dating again in April 2021, reviving Bennifer 2.0.

The couple got engaged in April 2022 and married that July, but split for good — we think — two years later.

Their divorce was finalized in January 2025.

Prior to her marriage to Affleck, the Office Romance star was married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme.

But despite her marriages, Lopez appeared on TheHoward Stern Show and admitted she’s never felt truly loved.

“I learned that it’s not that I’m not lovable, it’s that they’re not capable … They don’t have it in them,” Lopez said of her high-profile relationships.

“They need to appreciate the little person inside of them,” she added. “They need to love them.”

During an October 2024 conversation for Interview, Lopez admitted to comedian Nikki Glaser that she has feelings of “being lonely” but was also ready to be on her own again.

“For people who are romantics and love being in relationships and want to grow old with somebody, we think, ‘I have to have that to be whole and happy,’ ” Lopez said at the time. “And you don’t.”
