Here's what Jennifer Lopez said about the kiss

According to Daily Mail reports, the kiss was not spontaneous. A source close to Jennifer Lopez told the outlet, “She followed the instructions of her public relations team and did exactly what they told her to do for her comeback after the Ben Affleck affair.”

The source added that Lopez approached the moment with confidence and calm. “She’s living her best life and doesn’t care about anything right now. She dealt with a lot of uncertainty, but she was brave. She didn’t let the negative comments get her down. Instead, she moved on and lived her life.”

Lopez has not officially addressed the kiss in her own words, but people close to her suggest it was part of a larger strategy to regain her place in the entertainment industry.

Jennifer Lopez’s team is currently working on rebuilding her career after a series of setbacks in her personal life. Instead of going on a full North American tour, Lopez has chosen to perform in select international locations where she still has a strong fanbase.
