During the performance, she addressed the audience while watching the fan make his way forward. "Oh yes. Look at this guy. We gon' take him for everything he's got."

In a brief exchange, she posed the question. "What's your name." The fan responded with a single word that immediately shifted the tone of the moment. "Ben."
Lopez reacted with visible surprise and humor, referencing the coincidence with her ex-husband's name. "Ben!? Ugh,"
Even though she was shocked at first, she quickly got into the moment, inviting him closer and laughing at the situation as the audience reacted. "Come here."
The incident was widely shared on social media, after which the fans had a lot to say about the incident. They saw the moment as a blend of humor and lingering feelings from her past.
Social media users had mixed reactions to the clip, some funny and some critical. One commenter thought about how funny the situation was. "There's nothing better than laughing at yourself and your misfortunes."
Another user speculated about the emotional undertones behind Lopez's reaction. "She has PTSD." A third commenter questioned the appropriateness of the moment during a live show.
"Idk I think it's pretty tacky that she does stuff like this, I guess it's part of her show. She wouldn't be laughing if the roles were reversed."
Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce in early 2025 after rekindling their relationship in 2021 and marrying in 2022. Even though they broke up, they have kept things pretty friendly in public and have been seen together at family events from time to time.
The moment shows how Lopez's private life still affects her public image, even when she meets fans by chance. Some people thought the exchange was just harmless fun, but others saw it as a reminder of how long-lasting high-profile relationships can be.
Lopez hasn't said anything about the viral video in public, but the reaction shows that people are still genuinely interested in her personal life as she continues to perform in her residency.
