Summary
- Divorce from Argo actor finalized in January
- Acting in Kiss of the Spider Woman musical was a "refuge" during breakup
- J.Lo says it was "the best thing that ever happened" to her
In September 2025, Jennifer Lopez opened up about how her recent divorce from the Argo actor helped inspire her powerful performance in the movie adaptation of the Kiss of the Spider Woman musical. The divorce, which was finalized this past January, was a challenging time for the 56-year-old singer, but she found refuge in her work.
Lopez revealed that being immersed in the role was "100%" a source of comfort when her personal life was in turmoil. "It was hard not to think about stuff, but it was like the best and the worst of times in a way," she told CBS Sunday Morning. "Because it was every moment on set and every moment I was doing this role, I was so happy. And then back home, it was not great."
Despite the difficulties, the actress says the experience ultimately proved to be "the best thing that ever happened" to her. Her raw, emotional performance in the film has already generated significant Oscar buzz, and many are hailing it as a career-defining moment for the versatile entertainer.
