Global superstar Jennifer Lopez delivered a powerful and unapologetic message to her critics during the opening night of her new Las Vegas residency, "Up All Night Live," on December 31, 2025. The 56-year-old icon directly addressed online trolls who frequently target her fashion choices and personal life, showcasing her signature confidence.
"If You Had This Body, You'd Be Naked Too"
In a moment that electrified the audience, Lopez paused her high-energy performance to confront the persistent criticism she faces. She referenced the common jabs about her wardrobe, mimicking her detractors: "Why is she always dressed that way? Why don't she dress her age? Why is she always naked?"
Her response was met with roaring applause. "And I say, 'If you had this body, you'd be naked too,'" Lopez declared, before seamlessly returning to her setlist of hits. True to her word, her performance outfits, including a glittering green bodysuit with fringe details, celebrated her physique without apology.
A Light-Hearted Jab at Her Marital History
Lopez didn't stop at defending her style. She also turned her sharp wit inward, humorously referencing her four marriages. Reflecting on her previous Vegas residency, "All I Have," which ran from 2016 to 2018, she noted how quickly time had passed.
"For those of you who were there on opening night 10 years ago. At that time, I had only been married twice," she joked from the stage, playfully acknowledging the confusion around her relationship timeline. She laughed it off, telling the crowd, "It's over and we just, boom, and it's fine. It's all good. The good news is that I'm learning and I'm growing. We're in our happy era right now."
Navigating a Challenging Year
This confident display comes after a personally tumultuous year for Lopez. She officially divorced her fourth husband, actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck, in 2024. The pair, whose high-profile romance began in the early 2000s, rekindled their relationship and married in July 2022. Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, citing a separation that had occurred over a year prior.
Earlier in 2025, Lopez opened up about the difficulty of that period, revealing the split coincided with filming her movie "Kiss of the Spider Woman." "It was a really tough time," she admitted in an interview, describing the stark contrast between her joy on set and her personal struggles at home.
Lopez's marital history includes marriages to actor-producer Ojani Noa (1997-1998), actor Cris Judd (2001-2003), and singer-actor Marc Anthony (2004-2014). She shares 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with Anthony.
Through her Vegas residency remarks, Jennifer Lopez has firmly entered what fans are calling her "unbothered era," choosing self-celebration over conformity and publicly embracing every chapter of her life's journey.
