Jennifer Lopez Reveals Heartwarming Holiday Plans After Split from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is looking forward to some well-deserved downtime with family and friends this holiday season. In a recent interview with People magazine, the 55-year-old actress and singer shared her excitement about an upcoming vacation following what she described as an “intense year,” which included her split from Ben Affleck, her husband of two years.

“It was a pretty intense year for me, and I’m most looking forward to spending time with my kids and my family coming out from the East Coast,” Lopez said. The holidays hold special significance for her, evoking warm memories from her childhood. “The holidays are such a special time for us, and they’ve always been since I was a little girl,” she continued. “I really look forward to those moments when I can be with my sisters and just relax, have fun, and create new memories.”

For those unfamiliar with Lopez’s family life, she shares 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony. She also has two sisters, Leslie and Lynda Lopez, who, like her, value the holidays as a time for reconnection and celebration.

Known for her non-stop schedule, Lopez sees the holiday season as an opportunity to step back and enjoy the company of loved ones. “We don’t get to see each other all year, so we kind of catch up on what everybody’s doing and how life is,” she said. “It’s just a beautiful time. I really enjoy it.”

Despite her busy career, Lopez values these moments with her family, describing the holiday season as a cherished time to make lasting memories and celebrate together. This year’s holidays, following a challenging period, seem especially meaningful, giving her a chance to recharge and reconnect with her loved ones.
