At the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez graced the red carpet solo, without her husband Ben Affleck. Despite this, she captivated everyone’s attention in her stunning pastel pink gown, featuring a strapless, sweetheart neckline and delicate puffy sleeves adorned with flower-inspired details.
As she made her way down the red carpet, an uncomfortable question about marriage was thrown at the 54-year-old singer. A reporter from Variety asked her how she knows if this would be her last marriage. In response, Jennifer confidently replied, “Because when they say, ‘You know,’ you know.” She then chuckled and added, “And sometimes, when you didn’t know, you really didn’t know.”
Jennifer emphasized that every time she enters a new relationship, she always does so with the best intentions. Despite the ups and downs she may have experienced in the past, she remains hopeful and open-hearted in each venture she embarks upon.
Jennifer Lopez dazzled the audience with her incredible appearance at the star-studded 81st annual Golden Globe Awards held in the vibrant city of Los Angeles last Sunday.
The famous couple shared a passionate kiss at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday. Many fans took to social media to express their surprise and dissatisfaction with a question that was asked during an interview. Social media users criticized the host, Marc, for supposedly embarrassing JLo with a question about her previous marriages and how she knows if her current one with Ben is going to last. Twitter was filled with comments about how awkward and cringe-worthy the red carpet show was, with some even calling it garbage. Many felt that it was inappropriate and extremely uncomfortable to ask JLo about the longevity of her marriage while she was there supporting her husband. Despite the controversy, JLo looked stunning on the red carpet, carrying a pink, crystal-covered clutch that matched her dress with an elegant, floor-sweeping train.

Adding to her overall glamorous appearance, she showcased a pair of silver dangling earrings, elegantly tucking one side of her hair behind her ear. Her hands, adorned with sparkling silver rings, perfectly matched her neatly manicured pink nails. The luscious event saw Lopez and Affleck seated at a table alongside his long-time friend Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso.

Different Twitter users expressed their opinions regarding the red carpet show by describing it as “awkward” and claiming that it was of low quality.
One individual expressed their disapproval, stating that it was highly inappropriate and extremely cringeworthy to inquire about the person’s certainty regarding their last marriage, especially given that they are currently offering their support to their spouse.

Behind the scenes, there has been turmoil in recent years following a revealing report by the Los Angeles Times. The report, published in 2021, uncovered that there were no black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which is responsible for voting on the awards. As a result, many stars and studios boycotted the Globes, and NBC decided not to air the ceremony in 2022. However, the HFPA made efforts to address the issue by adding journalists of color to its ranks and implementing other reforms. The show made a comeback in January 2023 under a one-year probationary agreement with NBC, but the network opted not to renew the agreement.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly received approval to dissolve the HFPA and reestablish the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization. Boehly’s Eldridge Industries acquired the assets of the HFPA, including Dick Clark Productions. Dick Clark Productions is under the ownership of Penske Media, which also owns Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, and Billboard.
In mid-November, CBS announced that it would broadcast the Golden Globe Awards on January 7, and the ceremony will also be available for streaming on Paramount+. The group responsible for nominating and voting for the awards now consists of a more diverse membership, including over 300 individuals from various parts of the world.
