AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez has made her first significant public appearance since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, gracing the stage at the American Music Awards (AMAs) 50th Anniversary Special. In a pre-recorded segment, the 55-year-old actress-singer shared childhood memories of watching the award show, which inspired her path to stardom.

Reflecting on her AMAs debut in 2001, Lopez said, "It was so long ago - but the energy in the room was very electric." She also recalled a 2011 victory in the Favorite Latin Artist category, expressing the humility she felt. Lopez expressed her honor in hosting the proceedings in 2015, showcasing various ensembles throughout the ceremony.

Lopez emphasized the power of music to connect, heal, and uplift, praising the AMAs for showcasing this for half a century. She expressed excitement for the next chapter of music and magic.

The actress and singer's divorce from Affleck on August 20, 2023, came after months of speculation and media attention surrounding their relationship. Lopez and Affleck had rekindled their romance in 2021, nearly 17 years after postponing their initial wedding. They exchanged vows twice, once in Las Vegas and again at Affleck's estate in Georgia, with a star-studded guest list.

Meanwhile, Lopez is set to make her next major appearance at the AMAs 50th Anniversary Special alongside a host of other celebrities, including Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, and Jimmy Kimmel. The special will feature live performances by Green Day, Jennifer Hudson, Chaka Khan, and more.

The awards show, which premiered in 1974, is moving to CBS after 49 years on ABC. The anniversary celebration will showcase past performances, artist interviews, and iconic moments that have shaped pop culture.

Despite the ongoing divorce proceedings, Lopez is focused on her career, with recent film releases and a launched cocktail brand. Affleck is also busy, having directed and starred in several projects.
