Jennifer Lopez snubs Marc Anthony in Ben Father’s Day tribute
Jennifer Lopez’s recent Father’s Day tribute to Ben Affleck has caused division among fans after she failed to mention the father of her two children, Marc Anthony. Via Instagram, Lopez shared a “Daddy Appreciation Post” featuring a shirtless selfie of Affleck showing off his abs in a mirror. Lopez captioned the post with “Happy Father’s Day Papa,” calling Affleck “the best dad I’ve ever seen” in a video. While also sharing a photo with her father, David Lopez, to her Instagram Story with the caption “I love you Daddy,” many fans were disappointed that J.Lo did not acknowledge Anthony by name. Some social media users expressed their frustration, with one stating “How about giving a shoutout to your kids’ actual father instead of all your fill-in men that you’ve had in and out of those poor kids’ lives?” J.Lo shares 15-year-old twins Max and Emme with Anthony, to whom she was married from June 2004 to June 2014. Meanwhile, Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Despite the snub, Anthony had a lot to celebrate this Father’s Day, as his wife, Nadia Ferreira, gave birth to their first baby together. Anthony, who is now a father of seven, shared the news on Instagram, writing, “God’s timing is always perfect.”
