Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck appeared to skip an opportunity for a grand entrance as a married couple at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 54-year-old singer put on a dazzling display in a pastel pink gown with a strapless, sweetheart neckline and puffy sleeves made out of flower petal-inspired details.
However, she appeared to be working the red carpet predominantly by herself, although the couple did get photographed together just before entering the Beverly Hills Hotel.
It may have come as a stroke of luck, as one of most viral moments from the red carpet included an interview during which JLo was asked how she knows this will be her ‘last’ marriage.
When she was asked how she knows that ‘this is it,’ she responded: ‘Because when they say, ‘You know,’ you know.’
“And other times when you didn’t know… you also didn’t know,” she then said with a laugh, adding: ‘I think you always go in with the best of intentions every single time that you ever leap into anything.’
Jennifer Lopez looked fabulous at the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday
J-Lo was quizzed about marriage on the red carpet which she appeared to walk without Ben by her side
Fans flocked to social media to express their surprise and also discontent that she was asked that ‘awkward’ question.
‘It’s such a mess,’ one social media user wrote. ‘The host Marc just kinda shamed JLo about her multiple marriages lol he asked how she knows if this current one to Ben is gonna last’.
‘HE DID NOT JUST ASK JLO THAT OMG,’ another wrote.
Others tweeted about how the red carpet show was ‘so so cringe’ and called it ‘garbage’.
Another said it was ‘so inappropriate’ and ‘hella cringe’ to ask her ‘how she knows this is her last marriage while she’s there supporting her husband’.
While posing on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, she carried a pink, crystal-covered clutch to go with her dress with a dramatic floor-sweeping train.

She rocked a romantic, pink monochromatic makeup look and styled her brunette tresses in bouncy, bombshell curls.
The actress — who has experienced shocking moments at the annual award show in the past — looked glamorous with a sultry, smoky eye and a glossy rose pink lip.
With one side tucked behind her ear, she showcased a pair of silver, dangling earrings.
She also donned various sparkling, silver rings on her pink manicured hands.

The nominees for best animated film are The Boy and the Heron, Elemental, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Suzume, and Wish.
The ceremony will feature the debut of two new categories: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television.
Taylor Swift’s movie documenting her Eras Tour has received a nomination in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of awards season, with a new home on CBS and will be hosted by 52-year-old comedian Jo Koy.
And while to audiences it might look similar on the surface, it’s been tumultuous few years behind the scenes following a bombshell report in the Los Angeles Times.
The 2021 report found that there were no black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which votes on the awards.
Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result.
After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted other reforms to address ethical concerns, the show came back in January 2023 in a one-year probationary agreement with NBC. The network did not opt to renew.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly was granted approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.
Its assets were acquired by Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, along with Dick Clark Productions, a group that is owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.
In mid-November, CBS announced that it would air the ceremony on the network on Jan. 7. It will also stream on Paramount+.
The group nominating and voting for the awards is now made up of a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
