Look away Ben! Jennifer Lopez kisses a major movie star on the lips for sexiest role yet... after divorcing Affleck
Jennifer Lopez has landed her sexiest role to date. The 55-year-old diva was seen in silky lingerie while locking lips with Diego Luna, 45, in the first trailer for her movie Kiss Of The Spider Woman. And, interestingly, the film has been executive produced by her ex-husband Ben Affleck as well as his best friend Matt Damon. The film is a new version of the 1993 Broadway musical, which was based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel of the same name. Lopez plays an imaginary figure named Aurora, who was dreamed up by jailed gay hairdresser Luis Molina (Tonatiuh). The musical from director Bill Condon is set to debut on October 10, 2025. In the story, Molina is serving eight years behind bars 'for corrupting a minor.' He imagines films starring Aurora - in a role previously played by Sonia Braga - to escape his misery while imprisoned. The Bronx-bred actress plays an imaginary figure named Aurora, who was dreamed up by jailed gay hairdresser Luis Molina The film stars Tonatiuh (pictured) as the hairdresser and Luna as his cellmate. In one of the fantasized productions, Aurora embodies a spider woman who kisses her victims to kill them. Throughout the narrative, Molina forms a connection with his cellmate Valentin Arregui (Luna), who's a Marxist. Rehearsals began in February 2024, and filming kicked off in New Jersey in April. A film adaptation of the book was previously made in 1985 by director Héctor Babenco. Both the film and the Broadway show were critically acclaimed, scoring various awards and accolades. It's a whole new vibe for this singer, dancer and actress William Hurt, who played Molina in the feature, won an Oscar for Best Actor. Meanwhile, the musical earned a whopping seven Tony Awards, including one for best musical. Kiss of the Spider Woman premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January. It will be released in theaters on October 10, 2025. Other films that Jennifer and Ben worked on together include This Is Me... Now and Unstoppable. They also collaborated on a hilarious Dunkin' Donuts commercial with Damon. Jennifer and Ben - who used to be called Bennifer - met on the set of the comedy Gigli over 20 years ago. Lopez recently wrapped filming on her latest romantic comedy Office Romance, in which she stars alongside 43-year-old Brett Goldstein, best known for his role in Ted Lasso. Her shoot concluded shortly before Jennifer and her former partner Affleck, 51, reportedly made a significant reduction to the asking price of their mansion in Bel Air, California . According to a report by TMZ, the couple dropped the price of the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom estate from $68 million to $60 million, after originally purchasing the property in May 2023 for $60,850,000. The property was first listed for sale in July 2024. Sources told TMZ Ben had been pushing for the price cut, reportedly urging Jennifer to agree so the house would sell. 'Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,' an insider said. 'He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.' Another source told TMZ: 'Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real estate market is not there and it's not selling.' Experts cited by the site said the estate was overpriced, suggesting it would need to be reduced by at least 15 percent to attract buyers. Insurance costs have also proven a deterrent, with annual fire insurance for the hillside property estimated at $500,000. Wildfires in Southern California earlier this year further intensified concerns. In August 2024, one month after the listing, Jennifer and Ben reportedly accepted a $64 million offer from a New Jersey couple, only for the deal to fall through due to a family bereavement. In October, Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim
