Nope, doesn't benefit her sufficiently.



+1 No amount of publicity is worth the "look at the immature and self-centered diva whose husband couldn't stand her and left shortly into the marriage" stigma, especially combined with her vapid "greatest love story" OTT promotion. She's a laughingstock.


And she turns 55 this summer. Men in Hollywood and music industry her age are looking for much younger to date/re-marry. Nobody beard Father Time, even the ones spending millions to look young.

She obviously herself had little guidance and probably mediocre parenting beyond the basics in her adolescence. Certainly little ongoing healthy emotional support, she doesn't know what she doesn't know.

What a selfish prick. He just had to make this marriage happen, meld all the kids, get enmeshed again, and then Peace Out and hope it all sort of falls apart with him on the sidelines, with his A-List, Respected in Hollywood Circles mojo intact. He's distanced himself from the wife he chose to marey two years ago while engaging with the other wife he dumped out of prior disillusionment.



I don't think this had a whole lot of impact on his children, to be honest, and I don't think you can blame any impact on J. Lo's children on him. They have two parents who likely make joint decisions about their well being.


Was saying he insisted on proposing, blended their families, which did affect the kids, and then he said, Oops, Can we just undo this quickly. No blame at all belongs on those poor kids.


I agree. This was irresponsible of them to do to the kids. Poor JLo's kids already went through this with Arod's kids.


+1 a very selfish way of parenting


When they're in their teens as most of us know, they need a lot more, the issues and pitfalls get much more complicated and the amount of guidance and patience and I think personal sacrifice teens need on the parent's part grows exponentially (at least in my experience) So yea, her attempts to RAMP up her career while having teens just developmentally don't match what is typically needed for the family as a whole. Another way she's a confusing outlier.

That's not wrong. At least the fault would be squarely on him vs. everyone talking about how insufferable she is and who can blame him.
+1 She is in the decline. Soon she will be in concert at smaller venues like Wolftrap.



Well since she can't sing, don't think that will be an option for her. People go to her shows for the fun theatrics, expensive sets, and elaborate dance choreography not the quality of her music. But middle-aged women performers without serious talent don't have much of an audience. She's not Madonna, who is unique in being able to continue to draw.

This is a tough time for her. Even with an incredible body and reasonably good dance talent, hard to see how she pivots from here. The best work ethic in the world won't compensate for mediocre talent plus sexism and ageism in a very harsh industry. I agree with the PP who said she should stop making terrible movies though. Maybe just do some judicious high-end glamour endorsements and work on adjusting to a quieter life. Her kids have very few years left at home. I'd focus on them while mulling over what could come next.



Maybe a prestige tv series. Other middle-aged actresses like Jen Aniston, Reese W, Kerry W and, yes, Jen G made positive transitions in this way.


True, but JLo doesn't appear to want to transition. A lot of immaturity is continually on display.


Jlo is not a good actress. She was perfect for Selena, but she’s not a good actress and therefore wasn’t able to transition beyond rom coms. Hollywood is cruel to women this way. But there will be no prestige tv series for her, because she can’t progress beyond the 20/30 something romcom. Even her last movie with Owen Wilson was the same rom com premise- how many roles like that exist for 50 somethings?


I think she's alright. Her acting is better than her singing.
Out of Sight was good and some of the others were decent. I mean she's not a great talent or anything but I've seen a lot worse.


She’s great in Out of Sight and Shades of Blue.

Not sure why she doesn’t film more crime dramas.

I think her picker is off . She spent most of her peak years doing sear filler commercial romcoms without much gritty acting.



Agree this is her strongest work. With the right production team, a prestige series in this genre, maybe modeled on all the great British procedurals, on HBO or Apple would be a great move from her.

She's going to keep going. I hope she lands on her feet.

Nope. Looking immature, stupid, fake, and lacking in the parenting dept does not make for good publicity.

yeah... the irony of not telling reporter that "he should know better than to ask about her private life" while, just in the past year, making two movies and an album and concert tour about the very same private life...


+1 and all the pics from their two weddings and honeymoon trips



And yet she wonders why people won't just focus on her WORK?!


all while she literally made her private life her work!
