It wasn’t long before fans and followers began to wonder if there was more to this exchange than just friendly banter.
Lopez’s personal life has always been a topic of public interest, especially her relationships with high-profile celebrities.
The most recent chapter in her love life involved a highly publicized reunion and marriage with actor Ben Affleck.
Affectionately dubbed “Bennifer” by the media, the couple rekindled their romance almost two decades after they first called off their engagement in the early 2000s.
Their whirlwind romance in 2021 had the world buzzing, and they eventually tied the knot in July 2022. However, their marriage was short-lived.
Just two years later, in mid-2024, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck.
The reasons behind their split remain private, but insiders have suggested that their demanding careers and family responsibilities may have played a role.
As Lopez navigated life post-divorce, her every move was scrutinized by the media and fans eager to know whether she would be open to dating again.
It didn’t take long for the rumors to start circulating, especially as Lopez’s social media interactions with Butler became more noticeable.
Jimmy Butler is no stranger to the spotlight either. The Miami Heat star has made a name for himself as one of the NBA’s top players, earning accolades for his skills on the court and his charismatic personality off it.
