Watch: Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Spotted Together for the First Time Since Divorce Filing

Jennifer Lopez is thankful to those she can count on. 

The "On The Floor" singer, who filed for divorce Ben Affleck last month, sent a care package to Nikki Glaser after the comedian defended her from online criticism back in June.

"Maybe someone knows that I love her and sent this to me," Nikki said in a July 18 TikTok. "And someone does. And it's J. Lo."

Included with the JLo Beauty Skincare package, the Hustlers actress had a note for Nikki, which read, "I heard your interview. I know it's easy to go along with the crowd and I appreciate you speaking your truth. I respect your strength and humor. Here's a little something for your feet."

Nikki joked, "She knows I have bunions, too probably." Jen's note continued, "Wishing you the best, always. Jennifer."

The comedian was incredibly moved by the gift, adding that while Jennifer will likely never see this video, she really inspires Nikki.

"I will love you forever, and not just because of this," Nikki added, "but this is just like a testament to how cool you are. I love you. You're awesome. Thank you so much."

Nikki's gift reached her shortly after a June 14th interview, in which she explained that while she used to think Jennifer was "phony" and that she was jealous of the "Let's Get Loud" singer's talent, she found herself becoming obsessed with her, especially as the internet was filled with speculation about her relationship with Ben following her solo appearance at the 2024 Met Gala in May.

"I saw The Greatest Love Story Never Told," Nikki explained on the Zach Sang Show, "and I watched it, to like, feed my feeling that I already had about her, but it dismantled it."

She added, "I'm like, so team J.Lo. I'm sad her tour is canceled. It was so funny, my boyfriend sent me the news that her tour is canceled ‘cause he knew what a J.Lo head I'd become overnight—literally overnight."

And after watching This Is Me…Now twice, she found herself 100% onboard with J. Lo. In fact, her obsession prompted her to take out a section about the Grammy nominee in her most recent comedy special, Someday You'll Die.

"I was gonna do a whole bit in my special about how we shouldn't trust anything she sells us," Nikki said, "because she's so hot, she wants us to be ugly, so don't use her skincare."

But she took it out once she started to soften on Jennifer, adding that it felt "mean for no reason."

As for Jen, the 55-year-old was recently seen out with Ben and their childrenher 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony, and Ben and ex Jennifer Garner's kids Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, for lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel. (Their eldest Violet, 18, is away at college.)

The Sept. 14 outing came less than a month after Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben after two years of marriage.

According to court documents previously obtained by E! News, she filed her paperwork exactly two years after the couple's lavish Georgia wedding, but listed their date of separation as April 26.
