Jennifer Lopez enjoyed a night out at Ariana Grande’s ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour stop in Los Angeles over the weekend, but it wasn’t just her dance moves that got people talking.
The singer was spotted in the crowd Saturday alongside her child, Oskar, and Ben Affleck’s teen, Fin Affleck, as Grande performed her 2019 hit “Thank U, Next.”
In videos circulating online, Lopez enthusiastically sang along to the breakup anthem, waving her hands in a playful goodbye gesture as she belted out the lyrics.

As Lopez leaned into the song’s lyrics about moving on from former relationships, Oscar and Fin could be seen smiling and laughing nearby, adding another layer to a scene many viewers described as unintentionally hilarious.

Others noted that Lopez and Affleck have continued to maintain a close blended-family dynamic despite ending their marriage.
The outing appeared to be another example of that relationship. Although Lopez and Affleck divorced in 2024 after two years of marriage, their children have remained close. During their relationship, the former couple successfully blended their families, and that bond appears to have continued long after their split.

The viral concert moment also arrives months after Lopez sparked headlines for joking about her love life during her Las Vegas residency. Earlier this year, she made a playful face after learning an audience member was named Ben, a moment many fans interpreted as a lighthearted reference to her former husband.

Whether viewers saw a little irony in the song choice or simply a pop star enjoying a pop classic, one thing was clear, the trio left the concert smiling.
