Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will soon be celebrating their first Christmas together as a couple. In preparation for the contemplative days, they have now organized a party. They not only showed themselves to be extremely in love, but also sang a duet.
Jennifer Lopez, 53, with her twins Max and Emme, 14, and Ben Affleck, 50, with his kids Violet, 17, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 10, were already looking for the perfect Christmas tree in Santa Monica at the beginning of December. The large blended family was obviously lucky, as currently circulating recordings show. The couple hosted a lavish Christmas party at their Los Angeles property – and had a special surprise in store for the celebrity guests.
Jennifer Lopez strikes up contemplative songs
In a sea of fairy lights, decorated Christmas trees and candles, Jen and Ben welcomed their guests on Saturday, December 17, 2022. Amidst the festive decorations, British musician Stevie Mackey, 56, took a seat at the piano and struck up festive tones. Lopez grabbed a microphone, sang the classic “Jingle Bells” and asked her friends to sing along.
Here Ben Affleck steals the show from his wife
In a high-necked golden dress, JLo finally moved on to the next song and performed “By Christmas Eve” by John Legend. She played the emotional song just as concentrated as she was soulful. So far, so foreseeable. Finally, Ben Affleck caused a surprise when he stood next to his sweetheart and tried to sing. The actor got off to a bit of a rocky start, struggling with his lyrics, but after a look at the sheet music, he was able to regain his composure. He made fun of himself for his little faux pas and earned a few laughs from the guests who had gathered around the piano.
Then things got romantic: Jennifer and Ben sang in perfect harmony. The pop diva was so touched by the duet that she smiled and hugged the 50-year-old and gave him a tender kiss. Meanwhile, thunderous applause can be heard from the guests, who, according to “Entertainment Tonight”, are said to have been Doja Cat, 27, Kim Kardashian, 42, Billie Eilish, 21, and comedian Eric André, 39. There is no question that Ben Affleck was able to impress with his singing talent and, together with his wife, spread a fantastic holiday mood.
