Jennifer Lopez isn’t afraid to bring the heat on stage. The songstress made headlines for a kissing stunt with her backup dancers during her performance at the 2025 American Music Awards.

Lopez shocked everyone when she locked lips with her dancers. This comes after her dramatic split from ex-husband Ben Affleck, which kept the couple in headlines for months.
