Jennifer Lopez Says Next Partner Must 'Earn' Her Love at Las Vegas Show

Her onstage comments recast a 1999 hit as a declaration of self-respect following her divorce from Ben Affleck.

Overview

  • During her Jan. 3 performance at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, part of her Up All Night residency, Lopez addressed her love life from the stage.
  • She told the crowd that anyone seeking her heart must earn it by treating her right, respecting her, and accepting her fully.
  • While performing If You Had My Love, she said the song’s meaning has evolved for her and that she now sings it “in power.”
  • She reflected that love is complicated and said, “you can’t have love without heartbreak.”
  • The remarks follow her divorce from Ben Affleck, finalized last year, after which she has said she is learning, growing, and in a “happy era.”
