Jennifer Lopez gives credit to Ben Affleck for ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’
Jennifer Lopez recently got candid about how she convinced ex-husband Ben Affleck to make Kiss of the Spider Woman.
The 56-year-old American singer and songwriter went to the Sunday, September 28 episode of CBS News Sunday Morning, where she revealed that with the help of her ex-husband Affleck and his production company Artists Equity, her dream project, Kiss of the Spider Woman, came into being.
Lopez, who is playing the role of Ingrid Luna in the musical drama film, said, “The movie wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for him and Artists Equity. That is right, and I will always give him that credit.”
Affleck, with his long-time pal and producing partner Matt Damon, was working on the forthcoming film, which is an adaptation of the 1993 Broadway musical. The On the Floor hitmaker is also serving as an executive producer on the project.
When she was asked if The Accountant star “was pushing” her to portray Luna, she responded, “No, because they financed it.”
“I told him, ‘This is a role that I was born to play,’ and I wanted to do it, and he said ‘Okay,’ and he helped make it happen,” The Boy Next Door star noted.
Other than working on Kiss of the Spider Woman, Affleck and Damon also produced her 2024 biographical sports drama film, Unstoppable, which was about Anthony Robles.
For those unaware, Lopez and the Gone Girl hero rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022 but in 2024, the pop sensation filed for divorce without a lawyer, which was finalised in January 2025.
It is pertinent to mention that the Kiss of the Spider Woman will be released on October 10, 2025.

‘No fun in being perfect’
Meghan Markle is opening up about making mistakes as she creates her own lifestyle brand.
The Duchess of Sussex, who sat with Harper’s Bazaar on their latest cover for December, spoke about little setbacks as she works on ‘As Ever.’
“I can give myself the same grace as a founder,” she notes. “There’s no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes… There’s also not a lot of fun in trying to be perfect. So why try to do that if you want to have fun?”
“My office is right by the kitchen, and I love that I can work from home. It’s a great luxury,” she added, before noting how her kids fill up a large part of her day.
Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.

Meghan Markle gushes over Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet: ‘They’re fearless’
Meghan Markle is opening up about the virtues of being a mother in her latest confession.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar for their December cover story, the Duchess of Sussex admitted that her children are constantly learning on the go.
“I’m a mom with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new,” she told the magazine.
“I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day. But you can remember and say, ‘I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that’s going to come so easily soon,’” Meghan says.
Meghan shares Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4, with husband Prince Harry.
Speaking about her wish for the kids, Meghan adds: “I hope they see the value of being brave. They saw it when the jam was just a pot on the stove, bubbling. When you’re young, I think you are a little bit more fearless. As we get older, we lose some of that.”

Demi Lovato credits husband for saving her from depression
There was a time when Demi Lovato was in depression. But she credits Jordan Jutes, her husband, for helping her in one of her rough periods.
In an interview with Who What Wear, the pop icon recalls the hardest time she faced while making her 2023 album, Holy Fvck.
“Every album that I’ve written has served its purpose. Some albums were more emotional than others,” the Heart Attack hitmaker shares, noting that she started work on the album after her rehab in 2021. “Holy Fvck was probably, dare I say, the most healing, and it served its purpose.”
In the making, Jutes was also a contributor. Together, the pair wrote several songs of the album, including Substance, Happy Ending, and City of Angels.
“We became friends before we became lovers,” she reveals. “I opened up to him because I was going through a really rough time when I made Holy Fvck.”
The award-winning artist continues, “I had just come out of treatment, and I was newly sober and raw with my emotions. I had nothing to medicate with,” adding that Jutes “was there for me as a friend, helping me get through this deep depression I was in.”
Moreover, Demi also looks back at her past relationships, adding they didn’t work out because she “hadn’t taken care of myself yet.”
“The universe rewards you when you do the therapeutic work on yourself, [and] I had to do the work.”
“Because of that, the universe provided. I got myself ready for a life by myself, and then I was able to share it with somebody else,” she concludes.
