with Lopez's daughter Emme. He looked on adoringly at Lopez while she was on stage giving her acceptance speech. Photographers captured how smitten and proud he looked, smiling broadly during her entire speech. Lopez also shared a video of her speech, where shots of Affleck watching can be seen:

In her remarks, Lopez spoke about how much the honor meant to her. “I wish I could tell you awards were the most important thing to me, but that's not true,” she said. “Don’t think that I don’t appreciate the shiny, sparkly things, because I do! I cannot lie. Everyone knows that I do.”

“But that’s not why I do this. I really do it for you guys. I do. Because the love you give me, and the appreciation and kindness, and the way you let me into your lives, even in a small way, that's what matters to me the most. Because of you, I get to do what I love the most in life and that is the most wonderful blessing. That's a gift that you give me, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you to everyone who comes to a show, streams a song, sees a movie, follows me, you guys are the one who give me the opportunity every day to live a life I couldn't even imagine would come true when I was a little girl growing up in the Bronx. I know! I love you too!”

“You did that. You did that for me. You made that dream come true,” she continued. “And I'm shaking, and I will always be grateful to each and every one of you for that, and I will never forget it, and I will never ever take it for granted. So I want to say thank you to every one of you for believing in me when other people didn't, even when I didn’t. Thank you for teaching me who I really am. Icon! Icon! I can overcome negativity and so can you every single moment. Let me tell you something else, I’m just getting started.”
