JLo Missed Out On Sharing A Kiss With Madonna In 2003

Perhaps this is payback for the actress’ missed opportunity to grab a kiss with Madonna over two decades ago at the 2003 “MTV Video Music Awards.”

As noted by PEOPLE, while promoting her movie project at the time, Lopez revealed that she was initially meant to perform alongside the “Like A Prayer” singer at the show. 

Unfortunately, due to work commitments in Canada, she missed out on the fun, leading to Christina Aguilera stepping in. Lopez expressed her admiration for Madonna, stating she has always been a huge fan of the pop icon.

The 2003 VMAs is famously remembered for Madonna’s performance with Britney Spears and Aguilera, during which she kissed both artists.

Lopez put her all into the performance, so much so that she ended up with a nose injury right in rehearsals.

“I had to get stitches. It was fine,” she says. “A few of us have gotten hurt in rehearsals. We’re doing a very high-energy athletic number, so it’s, I guess, bound to happen,” the actress noted, stressing what the nature of her job exposes her to.

Earlier in the month, she shared a visual of a cut on her nose on her Instagram Story, followed by another image of her holding an ice pack over the bruise.

She then shared another slide expressing gratitude to her physician, Dr. Diamond, for stitching her up, adding, “A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.”

J.Lo’s kids will not be left out of the fun. She plans to include her 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max, in her activities, particularly at the Pride event, cherishing their special bond. However, the actress’s slate with her ex-husband is not entirely clean.

The estranged couple are reportedly still at odds over the sale of their Beverly Hills mansion, which they bought for $60.8 million in May 2023 after getting married.
