Jennifer Lopez deflects divorce comment
The “Jenny from the Block” singer dropped by “Today” on Monday morning during her promotional tour for the movie musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” when Craig Melvin asked her about her ex’s role in the film.
“In the middle of filming this elaborate, beautiful musical, your divorce was also finalized with Ben,” Melvin asked Lopez, who cut him off, saying, “There you go! Look at this guy!”
