The publication is already viral: it accumulates almost six million "likes" on the social network in which Lopez has more than 166 million followers.

The snapshot has become the official confirmation of a romance that was already taken for granted since last June the two actors were caught kissing in a Malibu restaurant.
A second chance for a courtship that in its day was baptized with the acronym 'Bennifer' and that now, turned into the most modern label #Bennifer, makes the networks boil.

Gigli (A Dangerous Relationship),
and it was precisely a birthday, that of the protagonist
of Wall Street Scammers
at 33, which also served to ratify the first part of their relationship, in 2002. They got engaged the following year, with an immense 6.1-carat pink diamond from Harry Winston, but they canceled the wedding just two days after The quote: "When we started to seriously consider hiring three decoy brides for three different locations, we realized something was wrong," they alleged at the time.
This pressure from the media and photographers is always blamed for the breakdown of "a genuine love."
But today the tables have turned and the singer, one of the most followed people in the world on Instagram, has the power of communication in the palm of her hand, to set rhythms and control narratives to her liking.
