In a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday, the 55-year-old singer, actress, and producer expressed her love and gratitude for her mother, whom she lovingly called “#TheLupinator.”
“Happy birthday mommy!! I love you so very much!! Thank you for being there for me always…” Lopez wrote, sharing a carousel of cherished photos with her mother.
Many have speculated that the post was in-part directed at Ben Affleck after the couple split following two years of marriage, Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, which poignantly marked the couple’s second wedding anniversary.
The touching post was met with an outpouring of love from fans and friends alike. “Happy birthday mama Lupe,” commented dancer Tera Perez, while another fan exclaimed, “Much love here in these photos! Lupe looking so beautiful and cute.”
In her Instagram Stories, Lopez shared another photo of her and her mother, set to Neil Diamond’s classic “Sweet Caroline,” further celebrating the special occasion.
This birthday celebration comes during a season of change for Lopez. The On the Floor singer is stepping into the holidays as a single woman following her recent split from husband Ben Affleck.
