Jennifer Lopez Reflects on 2024, Proclaims "The Best Is Yet to Come" in Heartfelt Year-End Montage

Jennifer Lopez in Los Angeles on Dec. 15, 2024

Jennifer Lopez, the multifaceted entertainer, bid farewell to 2024 with a reflective and optimistic video shared on her social platforms. In the montage, she celebrated key milestones from the year while casting her gaze toward a promising 2025. The actress and singer, renowned for her candid resilience, described the year as a chapter of profound growth and unwavering self-love.

The video compilation captured Lopez's illustrious moments, such as her dazzling entrance at the 2024 Met Gala and the premieres of her films Atlas and Unstoppable. The montage also included scenes from her musical performances and highlights from This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, underscoring her enduring artistic vitality.

Adding a touch of levity, Lopez gave a playful nod to her "orange drink" social media sensation, a moment that delighted fans worldwide.

While the video celebrated her accomplishments, one omission stood out: Ben Affleck, her former partner, did not feature in the retrospective. Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck in August after two years of marriage. Despite their separation, the video focused on her personal evolution and the lessons she gleaned from challenges faced during the year.

In a poignant voiceover, Lopez reflected, “In my most difficult moments, I’ve learned to embrace my feelings fully and then release them. It’s been a journey, and I genuinely believe the best is yet to come.” She added, “Life has a way of improving — it’s a beautiful phenomenon.”

Despite the end of her romantic involvement with Affleck, Lopez has maintained a supportive relationship with his family. Earlier in December, she attended a theatrical performance featuring both Affleck's 15-year-old child, Seraphina, and her 16-year-old child, Emme, exemplifying her commitment to blended family harmony.
