Report: Jennifer Lopez Removing Tattoo Inspired by Ex Ben Affleck

Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi recently reported that Jennifer Lopez has changed a tattoo she originally dedicated to her former husband, Ben Affleck. Back in February 2023, J.Lo had an infinity symbol inked on her body, featuring both her and Afflecks names. Sources now say she has transformed the tattoo, removing Afflecks name entirely.

According to DeuxMoi, rather than erasing the design completely, Lopez modified it by replacing Afflecks name with a hummingbird motif, effectively covering the original ink. This update is not the only tattoo linked to her relationship with Affleck; around the same time, she also had two crossed arrows tattooed, each bearing their initials J and B.

Fans quickly reacted online, sharing a range of opinions. Some expressed relief, with one commenting, Honestly, thank goodness she didnt keep that 2012-style tattoo. Others reflected on the couples history, saying things like, We all need to move on from Ben and Jen and questioning the possibility of a Bennifer 3.0. Additional reactions included remarks such as, This is why you dont get someones name tattooed on your body, and curiosity about the tattoo itself.

Lopez and Affleck first broke off their engagement in 2004 but later reunited in 2021, marrying the following year. Their divorce was filed in August 2024 and finalized earlier this year. In March 2025, Affleck discussed the split in a GQ interview, emphasizing that there was no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue and framing it as a natural part of navigating personal relationships.

Recently, the former couple appeared together at the New York City premiere of Kiss of the Spiderwoman, marking another public moment following their separation.
