Jennifer Lopez recently announced the launch of her new alcohol brand, Delola, a line of ready-to-drink cocktail spritzes. However, the move has been met with criticism from fans who argue it's a money grab, considering the 53-year-old star's claims that she rarely drinks.
Adding fuel to the fire, critics point out that J.Lo's husband, Ben Affleck, has a history of alcoholism and multiple rehab stints. Despite these concerns, Jennifer Lopez shared a video on Instagram introducing Delola, stating, "I have been grinding nonstop for decades, and more and more I'm realizing the importance of enjoying life."
She went on to explain the reasoning behind her new venture: "I just wanted to create something better — something better tasting, better ingredients, something I would want to drink with my friends and family."
Yet, some followers remain unconvinced, with one commenting, "I get it — a coin is a coin — but mama you don’t drink alcohol." Another added, "This is such a money grab ugh!"
Ben Affleck Shares Relationship With Wife
In a recent interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, Ben Affleck, 50, shared some personal insights about his relationship with J.Lo. While he admits that Lopez has never directly commented on the issue, he suspects she would like him to be more concise in his speech.
Affleck said, "She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don't know if you've noticed, but I go on and on and on. I talk in circles."
The actor also revealed that he and Lopez share a language skill, as they both speak fluent Spanish. After a video of Affleck speaking Spanish during an interview with Spanish radio station La Cadena SER went viral, fans praised his language skills and cultural immersion.
Discussing Lopez's lifestyle, Affleck admitted that she "just eats whatever she wants" and credits her appearance to her work ethic and discipline, adding that the "superhuman thing is real." He gushed, "She's the most gorgeous woman in the world. She looks spectacular."
Despite the backlash surrounding J.Lo's new alcohol brand, the couple appears to be focusing on their relationship and personal lives.
