Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck appeared to have missed the opportunity to make a grand entrance as a married couple at the 81st Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 54-year-old singer made a stunning appearance in a pastel pink dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline and puffed sleeves with petal-inspired details.
However, she appeared to mostly work the red carpet alone, although the couple were photographed together just before entering the Beverly Hills Hotel.
It may have been a stroke of luck, because one of the most viral red carpet moments involved an interview in which JLo was asked how she knows this will be her “last” marriage.
When asked how she knows “that's it,” she replied, “Because when they say, 'You know,' you know.”
“And other times when you didn't know… you didn't know either,” she then said with a laugh, adding, “I think every time you jump into something, you always go into it with the best of intentions.” “'

Fans flocked to social media to express their surprise and also dissatisfaction at being asked the “uncomfortable” question.
“It’s such a mess,” one social media user wrote. “The host Marc kind of shamed JLo for her multiple marriages. He asked how she knows if this current one with Ben will last.”
“He didn’t just ask JLO about it OMG,” another wrote.
Others tweeted about how the red carpet show was “so terrible” and called it “garbage.”
Another said it was “so inappropriate” and “f***ing frightening” to ask her “how she knows this is her last marriage while she's there supporting her husband.”
As she posed on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, she carried a pink crystal-encrusted clutch with her dress, which featured a dramatic floor-length train.

His “Barbenheimer” companion Oppenheimer followed close behind, earning eight nominations, including best drama film and for actors Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt.

The Golden Globes announced the nominees for best actress in a musical or comedy: Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Alma Poysti, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone.
Nominated in the Best Film Musical or Comedy category were “Air,” “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “May December” and “Poor Things.”
The nominees for best animated film are “The Boy and the Heron,” “Elemental,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Suzume” and “Wish.”
The ceremony will debut two new categories: “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement” and “Best Achievement in Television Stand-Up Comedy.”
Taylor Swift's film documenting her Eras tour has received a nomination in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of the awards season, with a new home on CBS and will be hosted by 52-year-old comedian Jo Koy.
And while things may appear similar on the surface to the public, things were turbulent behind the scenes for several years after a sensational report was published in the Los Angeles Times.
The 2021 report found that there were no Black members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which votes on the awards.
Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC subsequently refused to broadcast it in 2022.
After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted further reforms to address ethical concerns, the show returned in January 2023 as part of a one-year probation agreement with NBC. The network has not opted for an extension.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly received approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.
Its assets were acquired by Boehly's Eldridge Industries along with Dick Clark Productions, a group owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.
In mid-November, CBS announced that the network would air the ceremony on January 7th. It is also streaming on Paramount+.
The group that nominates and votes for the awards is now a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
