Tiffany Haddish Quips About Jennifer Lopez Being ‘Single’ and Smooching Dancers Following 2025 AMAs Kickoff

A Glittering Night at the 2025 American Music Awards

There are moments in entertainment that seem to shimmer a bit brighter. This year’s American Music Awards felt like one of those instances. As the curtains rose and the spotlight hit Jennifer Lopez, the audience braced themselves for a show-stopping performance. And, honestly, she didn’t disappoint. Imagine starting the night by dancing to 23 hits in just six minutes. Just thinking about it makes my feet sore!

Lopez’s opening number was a dazzling spectacle. At one point, she even kissed a few of her backup dancers-something that had everyone talking (and tweeting). But perhaps the highlight came right after, when Tiffany Haddish took to the stage to present an award. With her signature humor, Haddish quipped, “Jenny From the Block has got all her steps in for the day and she got all her kisses in,” before adding with a grin, “Save a dancer for me, J. Lo! Damn. You ain’t the only one out here single.” It’s these little moments that remind us of why we love live events-the spontaneity, the laughter… even if it’s just through our screens.

Now, about J. Lo’s personal life-it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. She finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year after tying the knot in 2022 and originally getting engaged way back in 2002. That’s quite a saga, isn’t it? They first parted ways in 2004, but sometimes stories just find their way back around.

This AMAs gig was particularly special for Lopez. It’s not her first rodeo hosting-it’s her second time, having first graced the stage as host in 2015-but each occasion brings its own flavor. Her preparation wasn’t without mishaps; she had a bit of a scare during rehearsals with a facial injury. I saw on Instagram where she showed off the cut with her usual grace and humor: “So…this happened.” Props to Dr. Jason Diamond for stitching her up-she was ready to dazzle once more.

Even with this busy period, Lopez is showing no signs of slowing down. In June, she’ll headline the World Pride Music Festival in Washington D.C., and come July and August, she’s off on a global tour hitting places like Egypt and Spain-wow, what a lineup! She’s also diving into film projects, including working with Brett Goldstein. I read somewhere she’s involved with Netflix adaptations too-just another page in her ever-growing list of achievements.

Amidst all this activity, I stumbled upon an interview with one of Lopez’s friends who mentioned she’s been focusing on feeling like herself again and prioritizing happiness and motherhood over everything else-a noble balance if you ask me. With twins Max and Emme turning 17 this year (where does time go?), it seems she’s making every moment count.

The friend mentioned something interesting: Lopez isn’t ready to dive into dating just yet but holds onto hope because she’s always been “a romantic.” Perhaps work is serving as a good distraction for now-though it’s clear she’s being choosy about what projects get her attention.

For now, though, it seems J. Lo’s star is shining as brightly as ever-and maybe even brighter as she embarks on this new chapter with characteristic style and grace.
