Jennifer Lopez shared a recap of her 2024 highlights ahead of New Year’s Eve, but left out her estranged husband Ben Affleck.
The hitmaker, 55, took to Instagram on Monday with a video montage captioned ‘2024’ which featured a number of special moments from her year, and the singer proclaiming that the ‘best is yet to come.’
The clip, which was set to an orchestra version of her song ‘Waiting for Tonight’ by composer Archer Marsh, focused on her career accomplishments as well as some personal moments.
The video saw moments from Lopez’s live performances, her Atlas movie premiere, the Met Gala, which she co-chaired, as well as her photo shoots.
While the video showed several moments from her documentary, ‘This Is Me… Now: A Love Story’, which was inspired by her romance with Affleck, 52, it did not feature him.
It comes amid news that Affleck — from whom Lopez filed for divorce in August, on their two-year wedding anniversary — spent Christmas with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, and their three children.

While Lopez spent Christmas with her family and her two kids in Aspen, Colorado, Affleck spent it with Garner and their children according to People.
Garner and Affleck share kids Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
‘Jen and Ben were all together for Christmas. It’s all for the kids,’ a source shared.
‘Jen grew up surrounded by her family for the holidays, and she wants the same for her kids.’
Garner and Affleck split in 2015 after nearly 10 years of marriage and have remained amicable co-parents ever since.
They were recently seen together on Thanksgiving as they volunteered and served meals to the homeless with their kids.
A source told Page Six that Affleck was overjoyed to spend the holiday with his family as he feels as if he can ‘just be himself’ around Garner and their kids.
Earlier this week it was reported that he and Lopez are not planning to completely sever their ties after their divorce is finalized.
Despite his ongoing divorce from Lopez, they reportedly exchanged Christmas gifts for each other and their kids, as per Page Six.
The Batman star bought ‘an autographed Marlon Brando book’ for Lopez according to a source.

‘Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando,’ the insider shared, adding that got each other ‘a few small things for each other as well.’
‘It was nothing over the top, but more so a gesture to celebrate the holidays,’ the source said, adding that the two have ‘remained amicable despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.’
The power couple — dubbed Bennifer by fans — made headlines in 2021 when they rekindled their romance, nearly 17 years after calling off their original engagement and postponing their September 2003 wedding.
The couple confirmed their relationship on Instagram that July and made their red carpet return at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, and subsequently exchanged vows at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
The couple again exchanged vows at Ben’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20, 2022, two years to the day prior to Jennifer’s divorce filing.
