Fountain Valley High seniors sent off to their futures
Before the event was over, 796 students heard their names called — the largest graduating class in the Huntington Beach Union High School District this year.
'Seniors, as you embark on your next adventure, remember the lessons you've learned within these walls,' Principal Paul Lopez said. 'Remember the friendships you've forged, the resilience you've built, and the dreams you've dared to chase. You are prepared, you are capable, and you are ready.'
Lopez shared that Uy Pham gained admittance into Harvard, while Jacqueline Nguyen is headed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Kayla Nguyen, the ASB president, urged the graduates to consider who they have become beyond roles they fulfilled on campus.
'My fellow graduates, who are you today?' she asked. 'I'm not talking about titles like sports captains or club president, I'm talking about the person beneath those titles. That's who you really are. As you walk down the stage, think about who you've become throughout high school.'
Lily Ogle performed the national anthem, and Hannah Querry and Avery Thepsisombath led their peers in a recital of the school's alma mater.
The Fountain Valley Royal Regiment band did the honors in providing the processional and walk-out music.

Jennifer Lopez suffers wardrobe malfunction during concert
Jennifer Lopez accidentally left her skirt on the floor Friday during a concert in Poland. Lopez, who performed in Warsaw on Friday for her 56th birthday, suffered a wardrobe malfunction during the middle of her celebration. The "Waiting for Tonight" singer was in the midst of receiving birthday wishes during her livestreamed concert when her gold sequined skirt fell to the ground. Lopez glittered in gold wearing a metallic bra with a matching fringed skirt for the show. As she walked across the stage, concert-goers caught a glimpse of her matching underwear when her sparkling skirt hit the stage. "Thank you, Warsaw," Lopez screamed to the crowd when suddenly her skirt broke. "Oh! I'm out here in my underwear." A backup dancer rushed to her side and attempted to cover up Lopez, only for the "Let's Get Loud" singer to throw the broken garment into the crowd. "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume, and I'm glad I had underwear on," she said. "I don't usually wear underwear." Representatives for Lopez did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. JLo's set to perform once again this week in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It's unclear if any additional precautions are being taken to prevent another on-stage incident. The tour, which began earlier this month, is her first tour in six years. Lopez was slated to embark on the "This is Me… Live" tour in the summer of 2024, but canceled the concerts to spend time with her family. Representatives for Live Nation explained JLo would be "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends." "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down," Lopez wrote in her newsletter. "Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time ... " Two months later, Lopez filed for divorce from her fourth husband, Ben Affleck. The Hollywood heavyweights finalized their divorce in January, with both parties waving spousal support, in addition to waiving further discovery proceedings. Affleck and Lopez were married for two years before she filed for divorce on Aug. 20 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Her petition for the dissolution of their marriage was filed on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The former couple first said "I do" during a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022. One month later, the newlyweds hosted a backyard ceremony for friends and family at the $8 million Georgia mansion Affleck purchased when the couple first began dating 20 years ago. Affleck and Lopez first met while working on the set of "Gigli" and were engaged in 2002 with plans to marry in September 2003, but they postponed the wedding and ultimately called off their relationship at the beginning of 2004. "Bennifer" reunited once again before the summer of 2021, and Affleck proposed to Lopez in April while she was taking a bath.

Jennifer Lopez ‘Not Built To Be Single,' Amid Singer's Marriage Confession, ‘Friends' Claim
recently stated she is 'done' with marriage after multiple divorces, but her close circle may think otherwise. The singer made the candid confession during her concert in Spain this week for her Up All Night: Live in 2025 world tour. The comments came after her divorce from her former husband, Ben Affleck, was finalized this year. However, a new report claims that Lopez is 'not built to be single' despite what she told the crowd at her show. Jennifer Lopez 'believes in big love, every time,' amid marriage confession, 'friends' claim Following Jennifer Lopez's candid marriage confession at a concert, a new report suggests that her comments should not be believed. Recently, the 55-year-old singer responded to a fan's sign asking to marry her at a show in Spain. Lopez told the crowd, 'I think I'm done with that.' She added good-humouredly, 'I've tried that a few times.' The actor went through her fourth divorce earlier this year. Lopez's rekindled romance with Ben Affleck ended last year as they parted ways after almost two years of marriage. Before this, the 'On The Floor' hitmaker's high-profile engagement to Alex Rodriguez had also garnered attention. Lopez's former spouses also include Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, and Ojani Noa. The 'Hustlers' star's marriage confession came a few months after her divorce from Affleck was finalized. However, according to new claims, Lopez's marriage confession is not to be taken seriously. A longtime friend exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that the singer is 'not built to be single.' They continued to allege that Lopez is 'swearing off love,' but she could even 'meet someone and be planning a wedding six weeks later.' The source further stated that the singer 'believes in big love, every time.' They added, 'And every time, she thinks it's forever.' Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has been focusing on her career since her split from Affleck for the second time. She is currently occupied with her Up All Night: Live in 2025 world tour.

Jennifer Lopez Says She's ‘Done' With Marriage After Trying It a ‘Few Times'
Jennifer Lopez says she's 'done' with marriage following four divorces. 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.' Jennifer Lopez Channels Her Inner Broadway Performer in 1st Trailer for 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' 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.' Solve the daily Crossword
