Jennifer Lopez is sparking conversations with her new approach to life, all thanks to a growing trend that’s taken social media by storm: the “demure” movement.
Known for her bold and fearless persona, it seems Jenny from the Block is embracing a softer, more mindful side, and fans are loving every minute of it.
The 55-year-old singer and actress, who has always been in the spotlight for her flawless style and dynamic performances, surprised her followers on Friday, August 16, with a video that showcased a different facet of her personality.
Taking to TikTok and Instagram, Jennifer shared her version of being “demure,” a term that’s gained traction on social media, thanks to influencer Jools Lebron.
Lebron, known for her serene and thoughtful approach to daily routines, has inspired a wave of videos from users imitating her mindful way of living, and now, Jennifer has joined the ranks.
In the video, Jennifer, ever the picture of grace and poise, is seen promoting her cocktail brand, Delola, but in a way that’s far from the usual celebrity endorsement.
Holding a bottle of Delola L'Orange Spritz, Jennifer looks into the camera with a playful yet sophisticated smile, and explains her take on enjoying a drink in a “demure” fashion. “See how I do this, when I drink from the bottle? Very demure,” she says, lifting the bottle gently and taking a delicate sip.
She emphasizes the importance of mindfulness, adding, “I don’t just chug it, I just don’t … all the way down,” while mimicking a big gulp.
But Jennifer isn’t just about appearances; she’s about embracing a new mindset. She continues, “Little by little. Elegant. Swelling it. Demure. Mindful,” conveying that it’s not just about what you do, but how you do it. Her words resonate with a message that is both simple and profound—taking time to savor life’s moments, even something as small as a sip of a drink, can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Many fans and followers couldn’t help but draw connections between this newfound demure attitude and the ongoing rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck.
The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, have been the subject of speculation lately, with rumors of marital strain making headlines. On Tuesday TMZ reported that the singer had filed for divorce.
Ben meanwhile made a giddy arrival back to the West Coast after dropping off his eldest daughter, Violet, at college in Connecticut on the same day reports of the divorce filing were published and two years after the couple's Georgia wedding anniversary.
Despite the significance of the day for his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, Ben notably opted to forgo his wedding band yet again, fueling further speculation about the state of his relationship with the singer-actress. The Oscar winner looked relaxed and upbeat as he stepped off a private jet, accompanied by Jennifer Garner, 52, and their middle child, Fin, 15.
Jennifer Garner, with whom Ben shares three children from their 13-year marriage that ended in 2018, was by his side during this family moment.

The On The Floor songstress, 55 - who was seen grooving to Bruno Mars' track Marry You at his concert on Thursday - took a 'demure' sip from the L'Orange spritz for the now-viral, TikTok trend.
'See how I do this when I drink from the bottle, very demure,' the star explained to the camera. She then lifted the bottle to her lips and gulped down some of the fizzy drink.
'Very mindful,' Lopez continued. 'I don't just chug it. I just don't...all the way down. Just little by little. Very elegant. Swelling it.'
Jennifer looked radiant in the short reel while sporting a tan-colored jacket that was left unbuttoned at the front, as well as a cropped, white shirt.
The star's long locks were pulled back into a sleek ponytail, preventing any loose strands from falling onto her face.
She accessorized the look with a pair of flashy, gold-hooped earrings as well as large glasses and a silver necklace.
In the caption of the latest post, Lopez simply penned to her 251 million fans and followers, 'Very demure … very mindful.'
The Atlas actress notably launched her Delola cocktail brand last year in April.
The demure trend began last month in July after a TikTok user, Jools Lebron, used the term while doing her makeup.
And on Thursday evening, Jennifer enjoyed a girls' night out as she attended a Bruno Mars concert at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California - the same day as Ben Affleck's 52nd birthday.
However, she seemingly brushed aside the marriage woes and jumped to her Instagram stories to upload a few memorable snaps that were taken during the fun festivities.
In one image, the singer struck a pose as she sat between two of her close pals, and added that text, 'About last night,' towards the top of the picture.
In another snap, Lopez flaunted her toned midriff while wearing a cropped, white tank top as well as denim jeans while having a blast amongst the crowd during Bruno's performance.
Her arms were thrown up into the air as she sang along as other concertgoers also did the same.
Other celebrities were in attendance, such as Sophia Bush, Kelsea Ballerini and Meghan Trainor.
At one point, Jennifer was seen mingling with actor Ashton Kutcher as they crossed paths at the venue.
Also on Thursday before the Bruno Mars concert, Jennifer paid a visit to Ben on his birthday- despite Lopez spending her own 55th birthday last month without the Oscar winner.
Ben notably purchased a $20.5 million home in the Pacific Palisades last month in July - after residing in a $100k-a-month rental in Brentwood.
The Atlas actress has been staying at their lavish mansion in Beverly Hills - which has been listed on the market for $68 million.
Lopez also appeared to snub the Good Will Hunting actor as she jumped to social media - but did not wish him a happy birthday.
She was radiant in a series of Instagram snaps while posing in a sheer, Dior dress that contained shimmering embellishments.
The star paused for photos - which were taken during her time at the Hamptons last month - while standing next to a vintage convertible.
Earlier last week, a source told People that Jennifer 'is trying to find a new home to start fresh' and added the pair are 'moving on separately.'
On Monday, Lopez was spotted spending time with Ben's son, Samuel, 12, during a shopping trip in Los Angeles. The actor shares Samuel, Violet, 18 and Fin, 15 with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
After the outing, Jennifer stopped by Affleck's abode as she dropped Samuel off, and spent some time at the house.
'Just because she's not with Ben doesn't mean that she doesn't care about his kids,' an insider informed People.
'She always cared about them. She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year.'
The insider added, 'Now when she's back in L.A. she wants to spend quality time with them before school resumes and Violet is off to college.'
Earlier this month, a separate insider told Page Six that Jennifer is 'furious,' adding that Ben 'has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.'
'He's humiliated her because she made a big deal that he's the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they're not young kids.'
Amid Lopez and Affleck's marriage woes, it was also recently revealed by a source to People that Ben has been dealing with a difficult summer.
'It hasn't been the easiest summer for him either. He's just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible,' the insider told the outlet.
'Ben's doing well. He thrives when he's busy and he's been working nonstop. The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too.'
In regards to the actor purchasing a new home - which took place on Jennifer Lopez's 55th birthday - a source told Us Weekly that, 'Ben needed new energy in his life.'
'This one is more his speed. He's in a better mindset and is pushing forward,' the insider continued.
'Ben feels like he's been weighed down this year. He will always care for Jen, but he knows the marriage is done, and he wants to focus on himself right now.'
Another source close to Ben also told the publication that the star's decision to purchase the Pacific Palisades abode 'was the closure of the relationship.'
DailyMail.com also revealed divorce documents that have been 'finalized, but not yet turned in' amid the split speculation.
