Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck . The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM , opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband. “It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared.
