Jennifer Lopez Urges Fans To Vote After Speaking About 'Hard' Divorce From Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez wants her fans to show up at the voting booths during the next election.

In a new video, she urged her fans to get involved and make their voices heard and highlighted her work with a voters-centered nonpartisan initiative, "When We All Vote."

The clip comes after Jennifer Lopez broke her silence on her divorce from Ben Affleck, describing it as "hard" and admitting that being single feels unfamiliar.

Taking to her Instagram page, Lopez asked her 250 million fans to take to the voting booths during the election to vote for their preferred candidate.

She said, "When we all vote, we can determine the direction of our country and create a better future for our communities. Your vote is your voice and your power, and our voices are louder together."

The actress, who was dressed in a long-sleeve stripe shirt and wool sweater, also told fans about the importance of registering and provided them with a link to confirm their registration.

In the caption, Lopez doubled down on her speech while also raving about her work on When We All Vote – a nonpartisan initiative focused on voter education and encouraging greater participation.

She wrote, "Let's get loud and make sure every voice is heard this election. As a Co-chair of @WhenWeAllVote, I'm proud of the work we're doing to change the culture around voting and increase participation in every election."

In the comment section of her post, fans of Lopez thanked her for the message, noting that it would go a long way as the November elections draw nearer.

One person noted, "LET's GET LOUD!!! Thanks for this needed message, Jenn," while another said, "Let's get loud and let a peaceful, loving, caring woman win."

A third person wrote, "You have blossomed and are more beautiful than ever…After the storm, a rainbow always comes out. To life and all the wonderful things that await you. I am with You. So proud and proud. LET'S GET LOUD BABY. Forever."

Lopez's advocacy for more voter participation comes after she finally broke her silence on her split from Ben Affleck.

The "Maid in Manhattan" star filed for divorce from the "Argo" actor in August after months of speculation that their marriage had failed.

In a conversation with Interview Magazine, Jennifer Lopez admitted that the breakup was "f—ing hard." She also shared that being alone after spending decades in multiple relationships has been an emotional rollercoaster.

"It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate," the actress shared.

On the upside, she has now begun to see the positive side of her situation, which will help her build a better version of herself.

She added, "When you sit in those feelings and go, 'These things are not going to kill me, it's like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself."

Fans of Lopez, who were devastated after the singer called off her US Summer 2024 Tour "THIS IS ME…LIVE," also got some good news during the interview.

The actress shared that she intends to hit the road again but left out details about a possible date.

She said, "I can't wait to get back out there. I have the most understanding and loving fans in the world. Some fan bases can be spicy. Mine are just a bunch of lovers."

Lopez also reflected on how her decision to cancel the tour "devastated" her. However, the Bronx beauty mentioned that she did not regret doing so as she was going through a tough time in her life.

The singer shared, "I just needed to be with my kids and myself and really dig down deep into things that were happening in my life. And I'm glad I did, because it was a really difficult time for me. Probably the hardest time of my life, but it was also the best time because I got to do that work on myself."

Rather than opting for a protracted court battle, Lopez and Affleck have been working on finalizing their divorce through mediation.

The duo has been spotted meeting with "disso queen" Laura Wasser, leading many to believe that the attorney will help them in the process.

It is expected that there will be extensive negotiations over the division of their substantial assets.

Among the top points would be whether Lopez is entitled to earnings from any future projects produced by Artists Equity, a production company Affleck co-founded with Matt Damon.

The couple will also need to come to an agreement on how to share the proceeds from the eventual sale of their $68 million Beverly Hills home.

Additionally, earnings from Lopez's low-calorie alcohol brand, Delola, which she launched in 2023, may also be part of the discussions during the divorce proceedings.
