Jennifer Lopez’s Surprise Sundance Performance Shows Where She Is at in the Healing Process of Her Ben Affleck Breakup
Let’s be real, Jennifer Lopez knows how to command a moment, whether it’s on the big screen, a red carpet, or, as Park City partygoers learned this weekend, behind a DJ booth. So when Lopez gave a surprise performance at Tao for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, you know it wasn’t just an ‘out of the blue’ type of decision. Her impromptu choice? The 2002 hit “All I Have,” which, coincidentally (or not), is a breakup anthem that cuts deeper given her recent split from Ben Affleck.
For those who don’t recall the ballad, “All I Have” is a duet with LL Cool J about navigating life post-breakup. At the time, Dave Meyers, the music video director, told MTV News of the video: “They keep seeing visions of each other, and you get the feeling that they are still very much in love, yet they don’t get back together because they feel that this is the best thing for them. It will have a very happy winter wonderland-type feel, but a sad vibe.” With Lopez having emphasized a desire for her and Affleck’s families to stay close following the breakup — namely for the holidays — the choice feels somewhat pointed. (Watch the performance HERE.)
Of course, Lopez isn’t exactly mired in heartbreak. The multi-hyphenate has been linked to Kevin Costner since last December, and even when Lopez and Affleck were still together, Affleck joked about his then-wife’s fondness for the Costner-led series Yellowstone.
Still, Lopez’s next steps feel a bit complex. She’s reportedly eyeing a $20 million mansion in Brentwood, an affluent Los Angeles neighborhood bordering the Pacific Palisades neighborhood recently devastated by the wildfires — and where Affleck’s ex Jennifer Garner and their three children live.
And as for that performance? Whether Lopez meant to craft a double entendre-filled breakup declaration or simply felt like revisiting a classic, one thing’s for sure — J.Lo knows how to keep us talking.
