Jennifer Lopez Says She's ‘Done' With Marriage After Trying It a ‘Few Times'
When Lopez, 55, took the stage for her concert in Bilbao, Spain, on Wednesday, July 16, she noticed a fan sign that read, 'J. Lo, marry me?'
'I think I'm done with that,' the singer and actress replied, laughing. 'I've tried that a few times.'
Footage of Lopez's response was posted via X, where a fan remarked, 'She is soooo real for this.'
A History of Jennifer Lopez's Past Divorces: From Ojani Noa to Ben Affleck
She is currently in Europe for her Up All Night Tour, which kicked off earlier this month and winds down in Kazakhstan on August 10.
Lopez has been married four times, with each union ending in divorce. In February, she and Ben Affleck finalized their split five months after Lopez filed paperwork to end their marriage.
The exes' relationship had spanned more than 20 years. They first sparked a romance on the set of Gigli in 2001 and got engaged the following year. They were scheduled to walk down the aisle in September 2023, but called off their wedding several days ahead of the ceremony.
Lopez and Affleck rekindled the flame in May 2021 and tied the knot in July 2022.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's $60 Million Marital Home Taken Off the Market After 1 Year
By the spring of 2024, speculation swirled about their marital status. The pair had not been seen together for nearly two months. Us Weekly confirmed that May that Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills home.
A source exclusively told Us in June 2024 that they couldn't 'get on the same page [and had] been discussing divorce as an option.'
The following month, another source told Us, 'They are going through so much individually and as a couple. They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.'
Last August, Lopez submitted her divorce filing herself, without using an attorney. As celebrity divorce lawyer attorney Chris Melcher told Us at the time, her solo move was 'intentional to send a message that this will not be a fight.'

She was previously married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003 and Marc Anthony — with whom she shares twins Max and Emme — from 2004 to 2014. (Affleck, for his part, was married to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they coparent their three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel.)
Earlier this month, Lopez invited 30 of her Los Angeles-based fans to a listening party where she debuted six new songs, including the pop ballad 'Wreckage of You,' which she is currently performing on tour.
Edgardo Luis Rivera, who attended the event, told Us that Lopez 'said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of ['Wreckage of You'] came to her. She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself. Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger.'

Jennifer Lopez's Extremely High-Cut, Pantsless Look Is One of Her Most Daring Yet
The 'Hustlers' actress is midway through her "Up All Night" tour. Jennifer Lopez is celebrating her birthday in style with an extremely high-cut chrome bodysuit that dazzled on stage last night during a performance at Regnum The Crown, a luxury resort in Turkey. The Unstoppable actress turned 56 today and is currently in the middle of the "Up All Night" tour, which began on July 8 in Pontevedra, Spain and is slated to end on August 12 in Sardinia, Italy. Lopez's onesie was one of her most daring looks yet. The sculpted silver bodysuit was extremely high-cut and featured a plunging neckline that nearly reached her belly button. She paired the look with matching over-the-knee boots that were covered in hundreds of silver sequins. True to form, Lopez's other looks from the "Up All Night" tour have been similarly sexy. Last week, for example, she hit the stage in Bilbao, Spain wearing a leather onesie covered in silver grommets and chains. Over the top, she wore an inky black cropped leather jacket with dramatic shoulders and metallic studs. The "On The Floor" singer's other looks have so far included a silver-sequin bodysuit and gold fringe jacket, a plunging sequin bra, leather lace-up pants, and sequin-covered Yankees cap, and a glittery catsuit. Lopez has been hard at work on her music since her divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized this January. In May, she played host and performer at the American Music Awards in a total of eight outfits. "There's a lot of different options," she said prior to the AMAs. "I will change [my mind]. I'll be like, No, I don't like this hair. Let's just pull it back. Give me a ponytail. Where are my hoops? There's so many different ways to go, and I'm just going to pick whatever feels good in the moment." Following the ex-couple's split, the "Dance Again" singer apparently told comedian Tiffany Haddish that she was not seeking another relationship. "I told [Haddish],'Girl, I'm not looking for no man," Lopez said in an interview with Access Hollywood. "I'm happy right now, I'm not trying to ruin it, okay?"

Jennifer Lopez Exposes Bedroom Secrets On Stage And Ben Affleck Isn't Amused
Jennifer Lopez has lit a firestorm of controversy during her European tour, unveiling sexually charged performances and brutal breakup anthems that seemingly target ex-husband Ben Affleck. 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. Solve the daily Crossword

Cleo Laine, Grammy-winning jazz singer, dies at 97: Reports
British jazz singer Cleo Laine, who performed with musical greats such as Frank Sinatra and starred as an actor in London's West End and on Broadway, has died at 97, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The Guardian and The New York Times reported the news July 25, citing a statement from Laine's children, musicians Jacqui and Alec Dankworth. "It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother, Cleo, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon," the statement to The Guardian read. "We will all miss her terribly. The family wish to be given space to grieve and ask for privacy at this very difficult time." The Stables Theatre, a U.K. music venue that Laine co-founded with her late husband, confirmed the news in a statement posted to its website. Born to an English mother and a Jamaican father in a suburb of London in 1927, Laine initially worked as a hair-dresser, a hat-trimmer and a librarian. She first married in 1946 and had her first son, Stuart. Driven by her dream of becoming a singer, she divorced and got her big break in 1951, when she joined the band of English saxophonist and clarinetist John Dankworth at 24. How Clementine Campbell became Cleo Laine At the time, she had thought she'd been born Clementine Campbell, though a passport application later revealed her mother had used her own surname Hitching on the birth certificate. The men of the Dankworth Seven band thought her name was too cumbersome for a poster, and that her nickname Clem was too cowboy-like. They settled on a new stage persona for her by drawing "Cleo" and "Laine" from hats. In 1958, she and Dankworth married. Their home became a magnet for London's jazz set: Friends included stars from across the Atlantic such as Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. After acting as well as singing in Britain through the 1960s, Laine toured Australia in 1972 and performed at New York's Lincoln Centre. The recording of a further show, at Carnegie Hall, won her a Grammy Award. Her recordings included "Porgy and Bess" with Ray Charles. In 1992, she appeared with Sinatra for a series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but she was best known for her work with Dankworth's bands. He later became her musical director. The couple built their own auditorium in the grounds of their home near London and were friends with Princess Margaret, the sister of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Their two children went on to become musicians. Dankworth – who Laine described as being "joined at the hip" with her – died in 2010. Hours after his death, Laine performed a scheduled show in their auditorium, announcing the news about her husband only at the end of the concert. Contributing: KiMi Robinson, USA TODAY
