Exactly a year has passed since\u00a0Jennifer Lopez<\/strong> officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck<\/strong>, and the multi-talented performer has spent every moment since embracing her independence and staying busy with a career resurgence.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 56-year-old singer, actress, and producer wrapped up her 20-date ‘Up All Night’ tour on August 12, a major production that served not just as entertainment for fans, but as a source of personal rejuvenation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source close to Lopez shared with People, “She’s been having the time of her life this summer. She loved connecting with fans all over the world. The tour was amazing. It’s been a great focus for her. She’s been doing what she really enjoys.”<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a return to form, it\u2019s a reinvention. JLo has seamlessly transitioned from her tour to the upcoming release of ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman,’ a passion project she filmed in New York during a turbulent time in her personal life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the same source, “This is the movie she filmed last year in New York when she and Ben were going through a difficult time. She\u2019s come a long way since. She\u2019s very happy and just grateful for her life.”<\/p>\n

Her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 53, is actually one of the eight credited executive producers on the project, through his company Artists Equity. The musical film directed by Bill Condon and starring Lopez in three roles hits U.S. theaters on October 10, starring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, Bruno Bichir, Josefina Scaglione, and Aline Mayagoitia.<\/p>\n

Fans and critics are pointing to it as her best chance for an Oscar nomination.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, she told Variety, “I was waiting my whole life to be able to do a real big MGM Hollywood musical, and I finally got to do it.” Reflecting on her love for the genre, she added, “I got into movies because of West Side Story. I thought I was going to do Broadway. I wanted to do musicals. I love musicals. My kids love musicals. My mother did. It was a dream fulfilled in having done the movie.”<\/p>\n

While the film has yet to be released in theaters worldwide, the Oscar buzz has already started. Her performance in the 2025 Broadway musical adaptation, which premiered at Sundance, has many fans and critics pointing to it as her best chance for a nomination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JLo filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, 2024, exactly two years after the pair\u2019s Georgia wedding. While their relationship has long fascinated fans, from their original early-2000s romance to their rekindled love in 2021 and eventual second wedding, she has found success on her own. The divorce was finalized in January 2025.<\/p>\n

That same month, she received the Legend and Groundbreakers Award at Variety\u2019s Creative Impact Awards for her work on ‘Unstoppable’ and her career as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also set to star in ‘The Last Mrs. Parrish,’ an adaptation of Liv Constantine\u2019s bestselling novel. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the thriller doesn\u2019t yet have a release date, but she is also producing the film.<\/p>\n
