Amid her divorce from Ben Affleck, Lopez, 55, was caught on camera in a video taken by the Hollywood Reporter at a Toronto International Film Festival party telling her Unstoppable co-star Bobby Cannavale she’s “a bad picker.”
As a crowd of onlookers stood by filming their conversation, Lopez repeated her assessment as she laughed off her admission. She then shrugged and said, “It is what it is,” before breaking out into a dance move.
Lopez has been married four times, with her partners including: Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, Marc Anthony – with whom she has her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max – from 2004 to 2014 and Affleck from 2022 to 2024.
She was also engaged to Affleck from 2002 to 2004 and was also set to wed retired baseball star Alex Rodriguez in 2021 before they called off their marriage.

Although much of their conversation is inaudible and it’s unknown what Lopez was referring to when she said, “bad picker,” the term is associated with people who are constantly choosing incompatible romantic partners.
Multiple lip-readers in the comments section were convinced the phrase “bad picker” was a reference to her unlucky streak with men.
But others heard her say she was “talking about work.”
“She looks like she is enjoying her day and trying to move on,” one person wrote. “Good for J.Lo.”

At the same party, Lopez also caught up with Damon, which was held at EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton.
An observer told PEOPLE that the two “clasped hands as they spoke.”
“Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation,” the source told the outlet.
Clad in a skin-baring gown by Tamara Ralph and Dolce and Gabbana high heels, Lopez walked the red carpet Friday night at the premiere of the sports drama, which is based on the real-life story of Anthony Robles, the NCAA Division 1 championship wrestler born with only one leg.
The Hustlers star, who plays Robles’ mother Judy in the film, worked on the project with her estranged husband — who she filed for divorce from last month — through his Artists Equity production company. Affleck skipped the premiere, but his partner and best friend, Matt Damon, attended the screening and posed for photos on the red carpet.

Unstoppable stars Moonlight’s Jharrel Jerome as Robles, who, despite his disability, became nationally recognized as part of the University of Arizona’s wrestling team. In addition to Lopez and Jerome, Unstoppable also features Michael Pena, Don Cheadle and Cannavale.
In a post-screening Q&A, Lopez said she related to the difficulties Judy had to overcome in raising her child and called the film one of “the most beautiful and inspiring stories I think I’ve ever seen on screen.”
