In November, the JLO Beauty founder emphasized the significance of the holiday season for her, cherishing the opportunity to reconnect with her sisters and catch up on their lives. She described it as a “beautiful time” that she deeply enjoys.
Last year, Lopez celebrated New Year’s Eve with Affleck, enjoying a romantic evening of fireworks. This year’s celebration marked a departure from previous years, offering a nostalgic reflection on her career and a vibrant start to the new year. In 2023, Lopez opted for a private New Year’s Eve celebration with festive attire, showcasing a gown with a red plunging neckline and black skirt, accented with a green ribbon brooch.
Beyond the holidays, December also held another special occasion for Lopez. On December 12th, she celebrated her mother Guadalupe Rodríguez’s 79th birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, expressing her love and gratitude for her mother’s unwavering support.
Meanwhile, a source revealed that Affleck is currently “healthy, single, and enjoying life,” spending the holidays with his three children, Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose, and Samuel, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
