The star, 54, wore a leather hat with a daring low cut and backless blue silk trouser suit for a screening of her fantasy-inspired musical, This Is Me . . . Now: A Love Story.

J-Lo — married to actor Ben Affleck — returned to New York’s The Bronx, where she was born and raised, for the screening.

And she made it a family affair by turning up with her mum Guadalupe Rodriguez.

J-Lo, whose hits include Love Don’t Cost A Thing, plays a character called “The Artist” whose friends ask her whether she’s a “sex addict” as she goes on a quest to find true love.

The film, This Is Me . . . Now: A Love Story, is part of an outlandish three-part project which the pop star says was inspired by Ben, 51.

It is released this week, alongside the 54-year-old singer’s first album in ten years, also called This Is Me . . . Now, and will be followed later this month by a documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

Jennifer has admitted that Ben, cast member Jane Fonda and some other friends raised concerns about the project.

Oscar-winner Jane wondered if it was a good idea for the singer to make such a public expression of her devotion to her fourth husband.

The couple had originally been due to tie the knot in 2003 but split up — only to rekindle their romance in 2021 and marry in July 2022.

J-Lo said: “What came first, very plainly, was Ben and I got back together.

“We were so happy and in love and couldn’t believe we were getting this second chance that neither of us thought we would ever get.

“And as an artist, it inspired me to go in and make music again. In a way I hadn’t done since This Is Me . . . Then 20 years ago.”
