Jennifer Lopez revealed who she will ‘forever cherish’ in her latest social media post featuring a series of stunning photos.
On Thursday, she took to her Instagram to share a series of photos from behind the scenes of filming her new musical movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman.
In the cover photo, she was being strapped into a corset by stylists on set as she snapped a quick mirror selfie in the middle of getting into costume for her character.
She was wearing a bleach blonde wig with voluminous pin-up curls and a bold, red lip.
Alongside her post, she wrote in her caption: ‘I will forever cherish my Kiss family. See you this weekend at the theater!’
This comes after she seemingly took a swipe at her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, who is also an executive producer on the same movie, while discussing dating apps this week.
In her post, she included a photo of a bedazzled tumbler with a spider web and the name of the movie on it.
She also shared a vintage-inspired, black-and-white movie poster with her face and her character’s name Ingrid Luna on it.
JLo also included an additional selfie of her posing in a white blazer minidress and matching fedora costume for one of the musical numbers.
In another outfit, she wore a short, black bob wig paired with a sheer, sultry dress, and the superstar also shared a clip of her posing in a dress with a spiderweb-inspired cape.
And another clip showed her and her co-stars embracing in a warm hug.
Other photos showed the original actress with glamorous selfies of JLo outside of her trailer mixed in.
She also posted many other group photos alongside the director Bill Condon as well as castmates Diego Luna and Tonatiuh.
There were other clips of her showing off her old Hollywood-inspired glam and her blonde pin curls while filming scenes on set or in between takes while working on the movie.
In her photos and videos, she frequently had a smile on her face as she previously talked about how it was one of her dreams to work on the musical movie — and even praised her ex-husband Affleck for helping her make it come true.
Back in August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on their second wedding anniversary, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
Just last month, she made an appearance on CBS News Sunday Morning and told Lee Cowan about how she had a ‘tough time’ in the wake of their split as production kicked off for the movie.
The On the Floor hitmaker said she later realized their divorce was the ‘best thing that ever happened to me’ as it helped her ‘grow.’
She also spoke fondly of her ex when talking about his contribution to her film adaptation of the Broadway musical Kiss of the Spider Woman.
‘The movie wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for him and Artist Equity,’ she said of her ex-husband and his production company.
‘I will always give him credit for that,’ she said before explaining that it wasn’t because he was always ‘pushing’ for the movie but rather because ‘they financed it.’
‘I told him this was the role I was born to play and I wanted to do it and he was like, “Okay.” And he helped make it happen,’ she recalled.
Lopez and Affleck were married for two years, from their initial, low-key wedding ceremony in July 2022 up until to the singer filed for divorce in August 2024.
They had previously been in a relationship back in the early 2000s and rekindled their romance in 2021 before tying the knot a year later.
In an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show, Lopez admitted she’s ‘old-fashioned’ when it comes to romance.
‘You would never go on Raya, would you?’ asked the radio shock jock on Wednesday, to which she replied, ‘No, I don’t want that.’
‘I don’t know. I’m just old-fashioned, I guess,’ she added. Her roster of failed relationships most recently includes her divorce from Affleck, who has been exposed as a Raya user.
Reflecting on the doomed romances, she said, ‘What I learned, it’s not that I’m not lovable; it’s that they’re not capable.’
The Bronx native explained, ‘They don’t have it in them. They need to appreciate the little person inside of them. They need to love them.’
She noted, however, that her exes gave as much as they could: ‘They gave me what they had. They gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriages. All of it. But…’
Howard interjected: ‘They didn’t love you.’
Lopez agreed, ‘They didn’t,’ before admitting, ‘And I didn’t love myself.’
In the future, she said she wants to keep her romantic relationships ‘more quiet.’
She revealed, ‘I think I’ve made mistakes in the sense that I live my life very out loud, even though I was in the public eye.’
The mother-of-two elaborated, ‘I wanted to share my life with someone. I want someone to be there when I’m having my big important moments on the red carpet. I want someone to be there when I’m doing whatever, or when we’re going to the store. Whatever it is, I wanted to share that.
‘So I didn’t hide from it, and I spoke about it. And I think now, after what’s happened in the past few years to me and my children, I just feel like I want to keep that part so much more quiet in my life.’
In addition to tying the knot with Affleck in 2022, she was previously married to Ojani Noa, 51, Cris Judd, 56, and 57-year-old Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Emme and Max.
