Jennifer Lopez, 55, thanks her mother, 79, for 'being there for me' amid Ben Affleck divorce


Jennifer Lopez shared a sweet message late Thursday, honoring her mother on her birthday. The multi-hyphenate, 55, posted a carousel of photos with her mom.

'Lopez is... not often given the credit she deserves... She's terrific,' Deadline wrote about her performance as Judy Robles, the equally unstoppable mother of wrestler Anthony Lopez. The Atlas actress and producer has slowly been building her life back after her split from her husband Ben Affleck, 52, after two years of marriage. 'The word "Maverick,"' she told the audience, 'means an individualist, a non-conformist, a free-spirit, an original, a trendsetter, an eccentric, an outsider, a rebel, a dissident, a disrupter,' explaining she had looked it up in the dictionary to make sure she had the correct definition.
