With four divorces in her rearview, Jennifer Lopez has entered her "happy era."

On the opening night of her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace on Tuesday (Dec. 30), the actress-singer made a crack at her marriage history.

At one moment of the show, Lopez recounted her debut Las Vegas residency, the All I Have show, which was held at Planet Hollywood from January 2016 to September 2018.

"That went by in a blink, didn’t it? For those of you who were there on opening night 10 years ago," the Kiss of the Spider Woman star said in the clip below. "At that time, I had only been married twice."

During Lopez's previous Vegas run, she had actually been married three times: first to Cuban actor Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, then to dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, and finally to vocalist Marc Anthony, the father of her twins Max and Emme, from 2004 to 2014.

Lopez was last married to actor-director Ben Affleck, who she divorced in 2025 after jumping the broom three years before. The ex-spouses were first engaged in the early 2000s before going their separate ways for nearly two decades.

"That’s not true. It was only once. Felt like twice. I’m just kidding," Lopez continued during her residency. "It's over and we just, boom, and it’s fine. It’s all good. The good news is that I’m learning and I’m growing. We’re in our happy era right now."

In July, one fan was ready to be Lopez's fifth spouse while holding up a sign that read, "J Lo, marry me?" during the singer's performance in Bilbao, Spain. Lopez playfully brushed off the proposal by responding, "I think I’m done with that. Yeah, I tried that a few times."

Despite their recent split, Lopez is on good terms with Affleck and went holiday shopping with the actor's 13-year-old son, Samuel, last week, per E! News.

Affleck was also an executive producer of Spider Woman and recommended Lopez for the lead role of Ingrid Luna, which Lopez thanked him for while visiting TODAY in October.
