Jennifer Lopez to Perform at AMAs Special

Jennifer Lopez is set to make her first public appearance since announcing her divorce from Ben Affleck at the 50th Anniversary Special of the American Music Awards, airing on October 6. The two-hour retrospective will feature performances from various stars, including Mariah Carey and Gladys Knight, and marks Lopez's return to the music scene after a summer hiatus during which she canceled her tour to focus on family. Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, coinciding with their second wedding anniversary, and has since decided to drop Affleck's surname. Despite the challenges of the divorce, reports indicate that both Lopez and Affleck are in mediation discussions regarding their shared assets, as there was no prenuptial agreement. The awards show will debut on CBS after 49 years on ABC, promising a celebration of the last five decades of music. Given Lopez's previous performances at the AMAs, her return is highly anticipated by fans.
