JLo's AMAs Performance a PR Move Post Ben Affleck Divorce, ‘Source' Claims
Jennifer Lopez had the internet talking after her intoxicating performance at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs). The singer and songwriter, who also hosted this year's ceremony, made jaws drop when she locked lips with both male and female dancers during her epic opening number. While Lopez's on-stage act garnered mixed reactions, a report has now claimed that her performance at the AMAs was a PR move following her divorce from Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez's much-talked-about performance at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) may have been a strategic move, a new report has suggested. The Daily Mail exclusively learned from a source that the 55-year-old singer-actor 'followed the direction of her PR.' They claimed that Lopez 'did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback.' The actor parted ways with her ex-husband last year when she filed for divorce in August.
The former spouses' divorce was finalized in January this year. Since then, Jennifer Lopez has remained occupied with her back-to-back gigs, including the AMAs. The Daily Mail source continued to share that the singer 'is living her best life and has zero f—s to give right now.' The insider noted that she stayed 'brave' despite having 'dealt with so much uncertainty.' They even added that Lopez 'did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down.' Instead, she 'kept going and living her life.'
Besides her alleged PR move at the AMAs, Jennifer Lopez has recently been candid about her outlook on life. It's clear she is focusing on her career and having a good time. Lopez told PEOPLE during a recent interview that 'it seems like a perfect summer to celebrate being free and being happy.' The musician added, 'Just everything in my life right now just feels really healthy and good.' Lopez also expressed her excitement for her upcoming WorldPride gig and the 'Up All Night: Live in 2025' tour.

The Poignant Reason Princess Eugenie Left a Chair Empty at Her Royal Wedding
Eagle-eyed royal followers noticed that one of the best seats in the house was left empty for Princess Eugenie's 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank. The empty chair on the front row caught many an eye, with some wondering if the chair was left empty to honor a loved one who had passed away. The poignant reason all came down to honoring Queen Elizabeth, Eugenie's grandmother, who was in attendance at St. George's Chapel that Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbank, eagle-eyed fans noticed that one of the best seats in the house at St. George's Chapel was left empty—and there's a poignant reason why. Eugenie—the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson—wore an emerald tiara, known as Margaret Greville's tiara, that the late Queen Mother inherited in 1942. Eugenie and Jack invited 850 guests to their 2018 ceremony, but one chair was empty. Some questioned whether the empty chair 'was out of respect to a deceased relative,' with others guesing 'that there was a missing guest,' per The Daily Mail. In fact, neither of those reasons ring true. The real reason, it turns out, came down to royal protocol and keeping Eugenie's grandmother Queen Elizabeth happy, the outlet reported. 'Traditionally the Queen and the rest of the royals sit in the right hand choir pews at St. George's Chapel, closest to the altar,' according to The Daily Mail. 'Royal protocol dictates that no one is allowed to sit in front of the Queen and obstruct her view.' Of this particular empty chair, the Queen didn't sit in it herself because she didn't find it comfortable. Instead, she opted to sit in the second row alongside her husband, Prince Philip. While Ferguson, Eugenie's sister Princess Beatrice, and Zara and Mike Tindall all sat in the front row, the Queen and Philip were joined in the second row by Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle. (Harry and Meghan had married in the same venue five months prior.) Eugenie and the Queen—whom she called 'Grannie'—had a close relationship, and the Queen promised Eugenie she could wear the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara on her wedding day when Eugenie was a little girl. When Meghan asked to wear it for her own wedding the same year as Eugenie's, the Queen declined her request, as she wanted to hold true to her long ago promise to her granddaughter. 'For the wedding of Eugenie and Jack, the small detail [of the empty chair] meant that the Queen was comfortable and could get a full view of her granddaughter as she married the love of her life,' The Daily Mail reported. When the Queen died in September 2022, sisters Beatrice and Eugenie wrote a joint statement ahead of her funeral, which was shared on Eugenie's Instagram page on September 17. 'We've not been able to put much into words since you left us all,' the York sisters wrote. 'There have been tears and laughter, silences and chatter, hugs and loneliness, and a collective loss for you, our beloved Queen and our beloved Grannie. We, like many, thought you'd be here forever. And we all miss you terribly.' 'You were our matriarch, our guest, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world,' the statement continued. 'You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever. For now, dear Grannie, all we want to say is thank you. Thank you for making us laugh, for including us, for picking heather and raspberries, for marching soldiers, for our teas, for comfort, for joy. You, being you, will never know the impact you have had on our family and so many people around the world.' After Eugenie and Jack's eldest son August was born in 2021, Eugenie told The Spectator magazine in 2022 that she would 'love Augie to have her patience, her calmness, and her kindness, while always being able to laugh at himself and keep a twinkle in his eye.' Eugenie and Jack's second son, Ernest, was born in 2023, after the Queen's death the previous year. Read the original article on InStyle
