Jennifer Lopez Celebrates 57 On Instagram

JLo and Ben Affleck divorced last year, and despite rumors, she's remained single ever since, focusing on herself. And it has certainly been working: you wouldn't guess the "Jenny From The Block" singer looked a day over 35 based off of her latest Instagram post. Dressed in a low-cut butter yellow tank with spaghetti strap sleeves, Lopez let her honey-blonde locks fly in the wind as she smiled at her camera from the backseat of her car. With the sunlight streaming through the open window, she was truly glowing.

She also gave fans a short and sweet update on how she's faring on her healing journey. "When you keep going it just keeps getting better," she wrote in her caption.

Jennifer has been gradually opening up more and more about what her life is like post-divorce, and recently did so in an interview with Tefi Pessoa for the Tefi Talks podcast during the Office Romance premiere in NYC. After Tefi asked the Selena actress what her younger self would think and believe about her now, she explained that she's calling this period of her life "my happy era."

"I call this my happy era," she began. "But two years ago, I was sitting on my balcony with my three best friends, and I had just gone through a terrible time in my life and through a bad breakup, and I was just like, 'I forgot about that little girl.'"
