In a lighter moment, Kimmel inquired about Lopez’s upcoming tour and whether her teenage children from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony would be joining her. 

Lopez humorously shared that her kids find it “awkward” to watch her perform, as they are accustomed to seeing her in a more relaxed, non-stage persona at home. This candid discussion about family dynamics provided a glimpse into Lopez’s personal life beyond the spotlight.

The discussion on Jimmy Kimmel Live came amidst reports of tension in Lopez’s marriage to Affleck, with the couple making headlines for their public appearances and social media interactions. Despite the speculation, Lopez and Affleck were seen together wearing their wedding rings, indicating a united front despite any rumoured difficulties.

While Lopez has been busy with film projects like Kiss of the Spiderwoman promotional events for her new Netflix movie Atlas and appearances at prestigious events like the 2024 Met Gala, Affleck has been focused on his career commitments, including filming ‘The Accountant 2’ and participating in events such as Netflix’s ‘Roast of Tom Brady.’
