Jennifer Lopez left little to the imagination with her Father’s Day tribute to husband am Affleck.

“Daddy Appreciation Post ✨ Happy Father’s Day Papa,” the Grammy nominee, 53, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 18. “And Happy Father’s Day to all the great dads out there!! We love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know 🤍.”

In her post, Lopez shared two selfies with 50-year-old Affleck, sniffing her neck while smiling for the camera.

The most eye-catching photo, however, was the first in the slideshow. The Argo director showed off his bare chest — and six-pack abs — while taking a mirror selfie before seemingly hopping in the shower. Affleck gave the camera a smoldering look with his intricate tattoos on full display.

Fans left mixed reviews about the thirst trap in the comments section, but Lopez went on to share the same image via her Instagram story. The Second Act star also sent a shout-out to her own father, David Lopez.

Lopez ex-husband Mark Antony, however, was conspicuously absent from her social media feed on the special day. The musicians were married from 2004 to 2014 and share 15-year-old twins Emme and Max. (Anthony, 54, announced on Sunday that he welcomed his first child with Nadia Ferreira, whom he married in January. The In the Heights star has a total of seven children.)

Affleck, meanwhile, shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. Since the Go girl actor and Lopez exchanged their vows in July 2022, the duo has made an effort to blend their families together as seamlessly as possible.

“He’s a great, great dad,” Lopez said of the Oscar winner Today in May. “And also a father figure to them, because he has three beautiful children of his own, and then there are us.”

The ‘Let’s Get Loud’ performer praised Affleck’s dedication to his stepfather role, adding, ‘He’s really taking on the challenge of what that is and what that means. And they love him. They love him. And they appreciate him, and so do I.”

Lopez previously described some of the more challenging aspects of bringing her and Affleck’s children together Fashion that Garner, 51, has been a “great co-parent” throughout their journey.

“The transition is a process that needs to be approached with such care,” she explained in November 2022. “[The kids] have so many feelings. They are teenagers. But so far it’s going really well. What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and can understand me help see things I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally stuck.
