Ben Affleck’s cousin is calling herself the new ‘Jenny from the block’ while Ben is going through his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Ben Affleck’s cousin, Jennifer Affleck, has dubbed herself “the new Jenny from the block” after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben last month.

In a TikTok video, Jennifer, who is married to Ben’s cousin Zac, shared a clip of herself getting her hair done by co-star Jessi Ngatikaura, set to J.Lo’s song “Jenny from the Block.”

In her video, Jennifer Affleck called herself “the new Jenny from the block” while lip-syncing to Jennifer Lopez’s song, hinting at Ben Affleck’s breakup with Lopez.

Many people criticized her for this, with some calling it “diabolical” to use J.Lo’s song during the divorce.

Many people criticized Jennifer Affleck for using J.Lo’s song in her video, saying it was in poor taste and insensitive given the divorce.

A few of the comments included:

“You should be ashamed for trying to connect yourself to J.Lo now that she’s not with Ben. Slow down, poser.”
“It’s really tacky and immature to use her song while they’re divorcing. Stay out of other people’s divorces.”
As reported last month, Jennifer will soon appear on a new Hulu reality show about Mormon mom influencers dealing with a scandal.

Jennifer’s husband, Zac, is related to Ben and Casey Affleck through his father, who is Ben’s first cousin.

Jennifer said she’s excited for people to see more of her life as a young mom and wife on the new Hulu series. She hopes the show will change how people view Mormons and their lifestyles.

This isn’t the first time Jen has mentioned Jennifer Lopez. In a 2022 TikTok video, Jen was dancing to a kids’ song with her baby crawling around. She captioned it, “When you thought you’d be the next J.Lo, but she stole your name and now you’re just Ms. Rachel.”

Jen also reminded everyone, “Don’t forget that Ben Affleck is my husband’s second cousin.”

Ben and Jennifer Lopez were married for almost two years before rumors about their split began in May 2023. Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce last month, officially marking their separation date as April 26, 2024.
