Jennifer Lopez Exposes Bedroom Secrets On Stage And Ben Affleck Isn't Amused
From stage moans to unapologetic lyrics, the singer bared it all, literally and emotionally.
However, while Lopez sizzles under the spotlight, Affleck is reportedly not pleased with her "childish" theatrics.
Jennifer Lopez's Bold Comeback Sends A Clear Message
Lopez has never shied away from pouring her heart into her music.
But her latest tracks, which debuted during her current European tour, seem to pack more heat and venom than ever, especially toward ex-husband Ben Affleck.
The couple's split in August 2024, after a second attempt to rekindle their romance, appears to have fueled two explosive songs: "Up All Night" and "Wreckage of You."
In "Up All Night," Lopez declares, "I'm up all night, dancing on somebody, living my best life / I bet you wish that you were by my side / I got tired of you breaking me down / Look at me now."
If that wasn't enough, "Wreckage of You" dives even deeper, "Thank you for the scars you left on my heart / For showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark / I won't fall apart because of who you are / And all your broken parts. Because of you, I am stronger, wiser / Better than I've ever been."
Both tracks are seen as lyrical attacks at Affleck, who has long struggled with alcoholism, a detail fans suspect is referenced in the line about "broken parts."
Ben Affleck Shrugs Off Lopez's Explosive Lyrics
While Jennifer Lopez's musical daggers may have fans buzzing, Affleck is reportedly unfazed.
A source close to the 52-year-old actor told the Daily Mail, "If this song or any others bash him, what can he do? It's childish and not something he wants to entertain."
The insider emphasized Affleck's decision to take the high road, adding, "It is something he can't control, so he isn't going to let it hurt him and he's definitely not going to give it life by reacting."
According to the same source, Affleck saw this coming from miles away. They shared, "He's known her long enough and been given a nod on plenty of her music before so he is more than aware that this was coming."
As someone fiercely private, Affleck is choosing silence over spectacle.
Jennifer Lopez Doubles Down With Risqué Onstage Acts
Beyond the lyrics, Lopez has taken her raw expression to new heights and deeper levels on stage.
During her ongoing European tour, her performances have gone from passionate to downright provocative.
At Tenerife's Cook Music Fest, she took fans' breath away with a series of raunchy moves. Dressed in a barely-there silver bodysuit, she dropped to all fours before a shirtless dancer, straddled another mid-routine, and provocatively touched two others.
Her most jaw-dropping moment came at Italy's Lucca Summer Festival, where Lopez let the crowd in on her bedroom preferences.
Before performing her song Moments, she confessed, "I have to be honest with you, sometimes I get in different moods at night. I don't know about you, but I do, and sometimes I like it hard."
Megyn Kelly Slams Lopez
Jennifer Lopez continued, "Other days, I am feeling a little romantic. You put on candles and soft music. On those days, I like it real slow."
Then she added with a smirk, "But there's other days... maybe because it's a new kind of time for me, maybe because it's summertime and it's hot outside — I feel a little more naughty."
Unsurprisingly, Lopez's naughty confession went viral, and not everyone was impressed.
Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly slammed the pop diva's antics on X, writing, "So she's a soft p-rn star now. Great choices!"
Jennifer Lopez's Record Label Drops Her After Album Flop
As reactions continued to trail Lopez's latest onstage antics, news reports claimed she had parted ways with her record label BMG.
According to The Sun, the label ended its partnership with the superstar after her 2024 album, "This Is Me... Now," failed to meet sales expectations.
BMG had signed Lopez on a one-album deal now terminated after what insiders call dismal sales.
The "Jenny From the Block" singer had previously released music with Columbia, Epic, and Capitol Records.

Duolingo wants to make its music lessons more addictive
DESIGN 'Our vision is to make music learning feel just as engaging and habit-forming as language learning does on Duolingo.' [Images: Duolingo, Nataliia Hruts/iStock/Getty Images Plus] BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 2:58 Duolingo may be known as the world's largest language learning app, but it also wants to get users hooked on learning music. On August 6, Duolingo announced its plan to acquire the team behind the London-based gaming startup NextBeat. The startup's mobile gaming catalog, which includes Piano Tile-style games like Beatstar and Country Star, has amassed around $200 million in revenue. Now, NextBeat's staff will help Duolingo make its Music course more fun, effective, and, ultimately, something you don't want to put down. '[ Beatstar and Country Star ] combined chart-topping licensed music with intuitive, satisfying gameplay and reached tens of millions of players worldwide,' a Duolingo spokesperson said of the acquisition. 'The team's background spans game design, music licensing, live operations, and mobile monetization, all of which will strengthen Duolingo Music and beyond.' For Duolingo, the deal is part of a larger plan to build out its non-language courses using its uniquely gamified learning model—ultimately moving toward becoming an all-encompassing education app. What's next for Duolingo Music The NextBeat acquisition announcement came on the same day as Duolingo's second quarter 2025 earnings report, which notched a 41% increase in revenue year-over-year and an 84% increase in net income. The report marked an overwhelmingly positive quarter for Duolingo, in spite of the backlash the company received earlier this year when CEO Luis Von Ahn announced that the company would be going 'AI-first.' On an earnings call with investors, von Ahn shared that the company would be raising its full-year guidance 'while still investing in both our core business and exciting new areas like chess, math, and music that we believe will drive long-term growth.' Duolingo first added math courses to its repertoire in 2022, followed by music in 2023 and chess earlier this year. While the company declined to share specific numbers on the Music course's performance, a spokesperson did say that 'millions of learners' are studying music on Duolingo, and the company views it as a 'key pillar of our evolution into a broader learning platform.' Currently, Duolingo's sole Music offering is a piano course. Through the NextBeat acquisition, though, the company plans to experiment with new modules like guitar, voice, or rhythm-based activities, chief business officer Bob Meese told Bloomberg. Further, a spokesperson shared with Fast Company, NextBeat will help to smooth out the in-lesson user experience by improving course pacing, personalization, and feedback mechanics. 'We're focused on making the Music course even more joyful and captivating,' the spokesperson said. 'Our vision is to make music learning feel just as engaging and habit-forming as language learning does on Duolingo.' The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, September 5, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Grace Snelling is an editorial assistant for Fast Company with a focus on product design, branding, art, and all things Gen Z.

Aiayu Copenhagen Spring 2026 Collection
Maria Høgh Heilmann decided to mark Aiayu's '20 turns around the sun' by making her runway debut. At Nils Stærk gallery, her guests witnessed ease and serenity in motion. There is nothing pretentious about this brand's designs, which feel simple rather than minimal because they seem to have an innate warmth and aiayu (which means soul in Aymaran, the language of the indigenous people of Bolivia). Twenty years in, Aiayu's wares are made in Bolivia, where the brand story began in 2005, as well as India, Mongolia, Nepal, and Europe. It's in South America that Heilmann, a Neil Barrett alum who studied fashion design in Denmark and knitwear in Italy, was inspired to find a new way forward in fashion. 'I had spent years in fashion, but I wanted to work with my hands again, to feel the raw beauty of natural materials, and to be closer to the people who know them by heart,' she noted. The spring collections included a crisp cotton shirtdress, linen shorts, sweaters wrapped around necks like scarves, and long tanks layered over T-shirt dresses. On the surface, there was nothing radical about any of it, yet the perfect simplicity and restraint of a sleeveless sweater and trousers in complementary shades of blue, say, requires commitment and self-confidence to wear. Maybe it's so easy to picture these clothes in uncluttered and light-filled modern interiors because they were designed for living—and the long haul.

Marques'Almeida Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
After a one-off show in London last season, Marta Marques and Paolo Almeida were back in their home country of Portugal for fall. But don't let this runway footage fool you; set in the middle of a sun-drenched vineyard, this 'show' featured no guests. The designers were invited by the Portuguese tourism board to present one of their collections in the country. Leave it to this creative duo to turn their lookbook into an advertising campaign for a Portuguese getaway. On the makeshift runway, the Marques'Almeida collection looks a little more sophisticated than usual. 'It's not a traditionally elegant collection,' offered Almeida, calling in from his studio hours before departing for a well-deserved August holiday, 'but it is a little more grown-up, we were so young when we started!' To Almeida's point, there was nothing too formal about the designers' new take on elegance. For starters, they showed it outside, surrounded by nature and grass, which informed the more pragmatic footwear choices. Few designers can make a convincing peplum these days—one that doesn't look like something out of 2012, that is—but here they were available in spades. Evening volumes and fabrications were oftentimes paired with grungy acid-wash denim or fashioned into relaxed, unfussy shapes (including some great pajama-like sets). The OG Marques'Almeida spirit remains intact, even if the designers themselves have matured. 'We made some things we wouldn't have done or thought about at first,' Almeida said, speaking of the lineup's long, embellished sheaths and the cutesy flared skirts. Age looks good on them—who wouldn't want to be a plus-one wherever those funky drapes and ballooning blouses are headed come fall?
