Jen Affleck’s divorce takes bitter turn as she blasts husband Zac, shares video of him criticizing her ‘sagging’ postpartum body
Jen Affleck posted an old video in which her estranged husband, Zac, criticised her body two weeks after she gave birth, challenging his recent claim that he remains her biggest supporter. The exchange has sharpened public attention on their divorce, which Jen filed for in Utah County, and their co-parenting situation.
Zac said the clip was from 2022, called his remarks horrible and hurtful, and said he had tried to learn and grow. He also acknowledged making many mistakes in their marriage and asked followers not to speak badly of Jen. The couple have three children, aged four, three and one, and Jen is pregnant with their fourth.
In short
- Jen shared a video of Zac criticising her postpartum body.
- Zac apologised for the 2022 remarks and acknowledged past mistakes.
- The couple are divorcing and expecting their fourth child.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Jen’s decision to share the video can be seen as a reasonable response to Zac’s recent public claim that he remains her biggest supporter: the clip offers context that followers would not otherwise have, and makes visible the hurtful comments she says she experienced after childbirth. Sharing it may also help her speak for herself while public attention focuses on the divorce and their family.
The case against
Zac’s remarks, as he acknowledges, were hurtful, but he says the clip dates from 2022 and that he has tried to learn from his mistakes; an old exchange may not fully represent who he is now or the marriage as a whole. Given their young children and ongoing co-parenting, keeping painful private moments out of public view could protect the family’s privacy and reduce pressure on them.
