Jennifer Lopez playfully shut down “Today” host Craig Melvin after he asked about her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck during an interview.
While appearing Monday on “Today” to discuss her new musical film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” Melvin mentioned her divorce from Affleck in relation to the film, prompting Lopez to initially shoo away the inquiry.
“In the middle of filming this elaborate, beautiful musical, your divorce was also finalized with Ben,” Melvin began before Lopez interjected, “There you go! Look at this guy!”
Clarifying his reasoning behind bringing up Affleck, Melvin continued, “But then I read that your ex is an executive producer on the film.”
Brushing off the moment with a laugh, Lopez then gave Affleck, whom she split from in 2024, his flowers, telling Melvin, “If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made. And I will always give him that credit.”
