AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez is seemingly putting her honeymoon with Ben Affleck on hold to become a freedom fighter. The "Marry Me" actress has returned to the stage for the first time since her surprise wedding to the "Deep Water" star.
The "On the Floor" hitmaker took to the stage on Saturday night, July 30 to perform at the LuisaViaRoma for UNICEF charity gala in Capri, Italy. For the event, the star donned a sparkling animal-print outfit adorned with feathers that would be sold at auction for charity after the show.
As TMZ reported, that was one of many outfits J.Lo sported during the course of the intimate event, held at the 14th-century Certosa di San Giacomo monastery, with proceeds in support of UNICEF's relief efforts for war-torn Ukraine. The 53-year-old actress/singer also looked incredible in a nude thong bodysuit.
J.Lo's headlining set was followed by performances from Diplo, Sofia Carson and DJ Cruz, while the star-studded audience included Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Maye Musk, Naomi Campbell, Jared Leto and Vanessa Hudgens. However, it's reported that Ben wasn't in attendance, but his younger brother, Casey Affleck, was, accompanied by girlfriend Caylee Cowan.
J.Lo's show came on the heels of her Parisian getaway with her new husband Ben. The newlyweds, who tied the knot on July 16, were regularly photographed around the French capital after flying out on July 21 and were even spotted kissing and cuddling on a park bench for more than two hours the following day.
A source claimed that the pair were "like two teens... very loving, very attentive." The so-called insider added, "It's been a whirlwind week for them since they got married. They are having a great family trip in Paris. It's their first family trip to Europe. Jennifer is the happiest. She loves being married. She loves being Mrs. Affleck. She is very excited to be married to Ben. She is very grateful that they got a second chance."
In the meantime, J.Lo's first husband Ojani Noa is "not convinced" her marriage to Ben will last. Ojani told Daily Mail on Sunday, July 31, "I wish her and Ben the best, but I'm not convinced it will last. Jen loves being in love but she's been engaged six times." He added, "Ben is husband number four. I was husband number one and she told me I was the love of her life. When we lay in bed on our wedding night, she said we would be together forever."
"I'm happy she has gone back to Ben but I have a feeling this won't last," Ojani emphasized. "I think she's someone who will be married seven or eight times. I can't see her ever settling down with one person. She pushes herself to constantly go forward in her professional life, which is why she's had a three-decade career, but she also moves on in her private life."
