Jennifer Lopez is returning to her musical roots after a canceled tour and subsequent divorce from actor Ben Affleck last year.

The “Hustlers” actress will host and perform during the American Music Awards on May 26, or Memorial Day, which will air on CBS. “Good things come in threes JLO. AMA. CBS. On 5.26.25,” the singer wrote on Instagram, with a teaser promo video.

The news comes a decade after her hosting debut in 2015.

Now, the multi-hyphenate star will take the reins of the awards show again after first teasing the possibility during last fall’s “American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special.”

The gig arrives after a tumultuous year for the A-lister.

Last May, Lopez revealed in a note to fans that she was canceling her North American tour, writing she was “completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”

She added: Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”

Then, on Aug. 20, the star surprised fans again when she filed to divorce the “Good Will Hunting” alum Affleck in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to court filings obtained by USA TODAY at the time.

The pair, who were previously engaged to each other in 2002 and later in 2021, delighted fans when they reunited after respective splits. It marks the second marriage for Affleck and the fourth for Lopez.

Later this year, Lopez is slated to star in her first movie musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” a buzzy reimagined version of 1985 movie of the same name and Tony Award-winning musical from 1993. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January.

“Kiss of the Spider Woman” is originally a 1976 novel written by Argentine author Manuel Puig, which depicts daily conversations between two cellmates in prison.
