Jennifer Lopez reveals who she will be spending Christmas with amid painful Ben Affleck divorce
Jennifer Lopez has revealed her holiday plans amid her divorce from husband of two years Ben Affleck, 52.
The mother-of-two, 55 – who shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 56, – will be with her family.
Her New York based sister Lynda and mother Guadalupe will be joining the singer at her Los Angeles home, she told People.
The Atlas actress is still living in the $68M Bel Air, California mansion she shared with Affleck.
‘I’m most looking forward to spending time with my kids and my family coming out from the East Coast, she said.
The holidays are such a special time for us and they’ve always been since I was a little girl.
‘And I really look forward to those moments when I can be with my sisters and just relax and have fun and create new memories.’
The actress, who is receiving rave reviews for her performance in the upcoming Unstoppable, as the mother of a disable athlete, continues to juggle a busy schedule.
The fact-based drama opens in theaters December 6.
She has several projects cued up, including the release of the musical Kiss of the Spider Woman.
As she seeks balance, Lopez explained, ‘I think a lot of it is about a deeper connection to myself and to God, making sure we’re checking with ourselves so we can be great for everybody that we love around us,’ she also told People.
As she gets in touch with her higher power, the hitmaker said she is ‘also setting my sights on pushing my boundaries creatively and seeing where that takes me, whether that’s through acting or music or producing or expanding JLo Beauty.’
‘I want to continue challenging myself to evolve,’ she said, ‘and to try new things while all the while being true to who I am and those that I love.’
As for the upcoming holiday season, the admitted perfectionist realizes her balancing act could face some challenges.
