Jennifer Lopez subtly shaded Ben Affleck during a performance at her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The 56-year-old singer, who has been enjoying sold-out shows, was engaging with fans in the audience when she spotted one particularly eager attendee. “Can we bring him up here? Yes, you!” Lopez shouted, before adding with a grin, “Oh yes, look at this guy, we’re gonna take him for everything that he’s got.” When she asked the fan his name and he replied, “Ben,” Lopez immediately reacted with a loud “ugh” and then burst into laughter, delighting the crowd. Lopez and Affleck, 53, famously dated in the early 2000s before calling off their 2003 engagement, only to rekindle their romance in 2021. The pair remarried in August 2022, but Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, on their second wedding anniversary.
