Lopez Promotes 'Spider Woman,' Deflects Divorce Questions

Jennifer Lopez is promoting Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York City, turning heads with multiple glamorous looks as she continues a high-profile press tour. In a Today interview she deftly deflected a question about her divorce—cutting off host Craig Melvin with a laugh—and acknowledged that Ben Affleck, credited as an executive producer, helped get the film made. Lopez said the Bill Condon-directed musical, adapted from Manuel Puig’s story, earned a Sundance standing ovation and is set to open on Oct. 10; she noted production wrapped before she filed for divorce in August 2024 and reports say the separation was finalized in January 2025. She downplayed Oscar expectations after her 2019 Hustlers awards-season experience and stressed that the split was handled privately and amicably.
