Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finalized their divorce in January 2025 after over two years of marriage.

Here’s what insiders said about how she was spotted “having the best time” at a nightclub during Sundance Film Festival with other celebrities.
Jennifer Lopez danced with celebrities and the DJ at a nightclub weeks after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez isn’t letting the finalization of her divorce from Ben Affleck get her down. According to In Touch Weekly, she was spotted “glowing” while dancing at TAO Park City in Utah. Lopez is attending Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of the drama/musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, in which she stars.
A source noted that Lopez arrived at the club around midnight on Jan. 25, 2025. She spent time in the VIP section next to the DJ booth. Lopez stunned in a cropped parachute two-piece set from the Zimmermann spring 2025 collection.
“Guests would not stop talking about how amazing she looked,” an insider alleged.
Lopez was spotted jamming out to her songs, as she “kept making contact with DJ Chase B during his set, who would sneak in a J.Lo song every now and again,” the source noted. When her hit, “Jenny From the Block,” played, she got on stage and went behind the DJ booth to do a “surprise performance” for the audience.
“The crowd went wild, and her energy was felt all over,” the source said, adding that she “looked like she was having the best time.”
“The energy was buzzing and the Casamigos was flowing,” another witness told Page Six. “She changed the vibe of the night.”
Lopez surrounded herself with other famous folks while at TAO Park City. She hung out with her Unstoppable co-star, Jharrel Jerome, at her table. She also danced with Niecy Nash and Jon Hamm.
Jennifer Lopez teared up while talking about ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’
Jennifer Lopez is honored to play a role in Kiss of the Spider Woman, which premiered at Sundance. She received a standing ovation for her performance and cried on stage while speaking about the “importance of musicals” in her life.
“When you talk about the importance of musicals, the reason that I even wanted to be in this business was because my mom would sit me in front of the TV … we’d come on once a year, West Side Story, on Thanksgiving,” Lopez said on stage, according to Extra TV. “I remember I was just mesmerized. And I was like, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ And that was always my goal. And this is the first time I actually got to do it. This crowd made my dream come true!”
Lopez spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her past musical auditions that didn’t go her way. “I remember auditioning for Evita, I remember auditioning for Chicago, and for Nine — getting very close on Nine,” said Lopez. “There were a lot of things that I had always hoped that I could do and just wasn’t the right time. But this is the right thing.”
Ben Affleck has been spending time with Jennifer Garner post-divorce finalization
Ben Affleck remains close to his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Garner reportedly helped Affleck navigate his split from Jennifer Lopez. Affleck moved out of his and Lopez’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion to the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, putting him geographically closer to Garner and their three kids.
While Lopez is in Utah for Sundance Film Festival, Affleck remains in LA. Affleck and Garner were spotted at their 16-year-old child Fin’s school play on Jan. 25, 2025. Photos from Page Six show Affleck standing outside in a jacket and smoking a cigarette during the play.
Before Garner and Affleck’s outing, Affleck sought refuge from the wildfires by heading to Garner’s place during the initial evacuation. Thankfully, both Garner and Affleck’s homes are still standing.
