Jennifer Lopez dazzled at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Friday, September 6, 2024, making a solo appearance that had everyone talking. The 55-year-old singer and actress hit the red carpet in a jaw-dropping, side-baring gown designed by Tamara Ralph. Her shimmering silver dress, which accentuated her stunning figure, was tied together on both sides with black velvet bows, adding a touch of elegance and flair to the ensemble.
JLo was in Toronto for the premiere of Unstoppable, a film she stars in alongside Jharrel Jerome, Don Cheadle, Bobby Cannavale, and Michael Peña. The movie, based on the real-life story of American wrestler Anthony Robles, was produced by her ex-husband Ben Affleck under his and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity. While both Damon and his wife Luciana attended the premiere, Affleck opted to stay in Los Angeles, sparking further speculation about his recent split from Lopez.
Despite their separation, the promotion for Unstoppable has continued without any major issues. Director William Goldenberg downplayed any potential awkwardness, praising Lopez for her professionalism and calling her “a dream to work with.” He acknowledged the personal nature of her split with Affleck but emphasized that it didn’t affect the work dynamic on set.
Lopez and Affleck, once known as “Bennifer,” have had a highly publicized relationship over the years. The couple first got engaged in 2002 before splitting in 2004. After nearly two decades apart, they rekindled their romance and tied the knot in two ceremonies in 2022, but their marriage faced challenges. By April 2024, they had separated, and Lopez filed for divorce in August. The timing of the filing, which coincided with their wedding anniversary, raised eyebrows, with some sources suggesting it was a calculated move on Lopez’s part.
Despite her personal challenges, JLo looked radiant and confident on the red carpet, reminding everyone of her resilience and star power. The Unstoppable premiere marked a significant moment for Lopez, both professionally and personally, as she continues to navigate her career post-divorce.
