From her highest highs to her lowest J.Los.
Jennifer Lopez failed to acknowledge her estranged husband, Ben Affleck, while recapping the past year in a video posted to her Instagram Monday.
“2024,” Lopez, 55, simply captioned the montage, which was set to an orchestra version of her song “Waiting for Tonight” by composer Archer Marsh.
The post highlighted several of the “Let’s Get Loud” singer’s career accomplishments and big moments from this year, including photo shoots, live performances, her “Atlas” movie premiere, clips from her documentary “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” and the Met Gala, which she co-chaired.
Notably absent from the roundup, however, was Affleck, whom she filed to divorce in August after just two years of marriage.
While no images or videos of the “Good Will Hunting” star, 52, were included in the post, Lopez acknowledged that she faced hardships over the last 12 months.
“I am very proud of how I handle all the things. All the things,” she said in an interview included in the montage. In another clip, she said, “In my low moments, I’ve learned to just feel the feelings and then let them go.”
Several other clips showed Lopez with her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, as well as the pop star celebrating her 55th birthday with a “Bridgerton”-themed bash.
“What a journey this has been. I honestly feel that the best is yet to come,” she said in the video. “I can sit here with my heart and soul intact and still feel really full of love.”
The JLo Beauty founder added, “It’s gonna get better, and it always does. It’s a beautiful life in that way.”
The video message to her fans ended with text in the frame that read, “See you in 2025!”
Lopez filed for divorce from the Oscar winner on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.
The exes had eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 — nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement in the early 2000s — before throwing a celebration on Affleck’s 87-acre property the following month.
While the pair are no longer together, they have seemingly remained amicable and plan to stay in each other’s lives after blending families during their marriage.
Lopez and Affleck were even seen exchanging Christmas gifts for each other and their children ahead of the holidays.
The movie star, who shares three kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also bought J.Lo a small present.
“Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando,” a source exclusively told Page Six, adding that Affleck and Lopez got each other “a few small things for each other as well.”
“It was nothing over the top, but more so a gesture to celebrate the holidays,” the source said. “Ben and Jennifer have remained amicable despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.”
Lopez spent Christmas in Aspen, Colo., with Emme as well as her sister, Lynda Lopez, and her niece, Lucie.
The “Wedding Planner” actress, who is back on the market amid her separation, then sparked romance rumors when she was spotted hanging out with Kevin Costner at Aspen hotspot Kemo Sabe on Friday.
Meanwhile, Affleck reportedly spent Christmas with his kids: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
