Jennifer Lopez fights back tears after she’s declared legally single following Ben Affleck divorce

Jennifer Lopez got emotional on stage after she was declared legally single again.

During a sold-out concert in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, the 55-year-old singer took a moment to thank the audience. Their applause appeared to touch her heart as she placed her hand on her chest and fought back tears.

“Now you got me feeling myself,” the “Waiting For Tonight” singer, dressed in a shimmering brown jumpsuit, said in a video shared on Instagram Friday.

The special moment comes shortly after Lopez and Ben Affleck were declared legally single following their divorce settlement on Jan. 6, according to a report published by TMZ Friday.

Reps for Affleck and Lopez weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Lopez initially filed for divorce from the “Gone Girl” star, 52, on their second wedding anniversary, August 20, 2024.

They had rekindled their romance in early 2021 after calling off their first engagement nearly 20 years earlier. They went on to tie the knot in 2022, but split two years later.

Both the “Hustlers” star and Affleck walked away from the marriage with whatever they individually acquired from various projects during their union.

It is still unclear how the pair agreed to divvy up their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which has been sitting on the market for months.

The “On The Floor” singer also plans to drop Affleck from her last name now that their divorce has been finalized.

Moving forward, Page Six has learned Lopez is determined to make this her year.

“There’s a lot of positivity for the year ahead,” said a source who knows Lopez. “It’s a big year for her.”

Not only did Lopez’s performance in her new movie, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” recently earn her a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, but the big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning musical is already earning 2026 Oscar buzz.
