Jennifer Lopez looked delighted as she attended the 2025 Grammys solo on Sunday – two years after having a viral argument with now ex Ben Affleck at the show.
The beauty, 55, whose divorce from Affleck, 52, will become final this month, looked sensational in a black and gold sheer Stephane Rolland dress which flashed her legs and underwear.
She wore her locks in soft waves and sported a radiant palette of make-up.
Seen enthusiastically cheering Benson Boone’s performance, the happy appearance was in stark contrast to her frosty night with Ben in February 2023, when the pair went viral over a spat on-camera.
In a clip J-Lo was seen seemingly berating her husband – before realizing the camera was on them and quickly smiling for the camera.
DailyMail.com’s lipreader revealed Lopez was ordering Affleck to make more of an effort during the Grammy Awards – snapping at the actor and demanding he pretend to be enjoying himself.

The pair were seen snapping at one another during the 2023 Grammys
Lopez and Affleck were seen exchanging tense words during the ceremony, right as host Trevor Noah sat down next to them.
‘Stop,’ Lopez tells him. ‘Look more friendly. Look motivated.’ Affleck replies: ‘I might.’
Lopez looks on serenely as a red-faced Affleck challenges her. She refuses to respond to his aggressive posturing, which seems to irritate him further.
The tense exchange began with Affleck whispering into his wife of six months’ ear – only for her to jerk away and seemingly snap at him in response.
He frowned, straightened up his vest and his posture, before it quickly dawned on them it was caught on camera.
Frosty-faced Lopez tried to cover up the moment, though her husband had a vacant expression throughout the evening.
TikTok users watching the moment on the platform immediately flooded the comments section with their observations.
‘Jennifer Garner at home eating popcorn like …. ‘Girlllllll he’s your problem now,” one said.

‘The Grammy producers are so messy for this but I love it,’ another wrote.
‘HER FACE WHEH SHE SAW THE CAMERA LOL,’ another chimed in.
Recently, it has been reported that the Unstoppable actress — who filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage — is committed to making 2025 her year following heartbreak in her love life.
As she still licks her wounds from a very turbulent 2024 which began with poor reviews for her pᴀssion project This is Me… Now, followed by a cancelled concert tour and culminated with her public divorce from Affleck, JLo is keeping herself open to romance, at least on the small screen.
She is teaming up with Netflix and Ted Lᴀsso’s Brett Goldstein for Office Romance.
In a 2018 episode on his Films To Be Buried With podcast, the writer and actor opened up at his respect for the actress, saying, ‘F–king hell … I love her.’
