Jennifer Lopez makes a dig at ex Ben Affleck as she has a hilarious reaction to a fan called ‘Ben’ joining her on stage

Jennifer Lopez made a dig at her ex Ben Affleck during an interaction with a fan also called ‘Ben’ at her Las Vegas residency.

The On The Floor hitmaker, 56, has been enjoying success in Sin City with her sold-out concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Footage from one of her recent shows sees JLo can interacting with her fans in the packed audience.

After spotting one eager fan, she starts by shouting during the set: ‘Can we bring him up here? Yes you! 

She continues: ‘Oh yes look at this guy, we’re gonna take him for everything that he’s got.’

As the hitmaker asks the fan his name, he simply replies ‘Ben’, with Jennifer immediately reacting with a loud ‘ugh’ before bursting out laughing.

Jennifer filed for divorce from actor Ben, 53, in August 2024 – the same date as the pair’s second wedding anniversary.

It followed months of speculation that their marriage was on the brink of collapse.

Meanwhile, Jennifer recently revealed she had found peace and happiness on her own as she declared she was in her ‘single era’.

Speaking during an interview with Nightline, she adamantly insisted she was in no rush to meet someone new. 

‘No! No I’m not! God forbid, I don’t want to ruin anything!’ she said when asked if she was ‘dating up a storm.’

‘It’s so nice right now! I’m so happy! It’s the best. I just feel really good right now,’ she said. ‘And that was a scary thing for me when I was younger. I didn’t know if I could do that. I was always really afraid to be alone.’

Jennifer and Ben rekindled their romance much to their fans’ delight during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

In the thick of the heartbreak, Lopez canceled her This Is Me… Live summer tour and worked through the pain without using work or another person as a crutch.

‘I had to stop everything and I took a year off. I canceled tours and just decided to be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything. Just sit,’ she said.

During the interview, Lopez was reminded she had said her life ‘exploded’ that year.

‘It did. It did feel that way. I needed to be home with my kids and that was the priority at that time,’ she said.

‘I was just at a point where I was like, what is going on with you? Because I couldn’t blame anybody else because I don’t think that’s where the lesson is,’ she said. ‘I really wanted to figure myself out.’

She continued: ‘I’m in my happy era!’ For the first time in my life, I feel I’m free, I’m on my own. It feels really good.

‘I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s and even before that, I always had boyfriends. There was always someone in my life, and so many other things that I felt like were out of my control.’

‘I’ve gotten to the point where I really trust myself and appreciate myself a little bit more, instead of being so hard on myself all the time and always trying to prove myself.’
