Sunny Hostin Calls J Lo Flying Commercial a Full 'Jenny From the Block' Move

TMZ.com

Sunny Hostin says it’s humanizing to see Jennifer Lopez flying commercial, and a sure sign she can still be a humble girl from the Bronx … even though she’s a world away from “the block.”

We got Sunny Tuesday outside ABC Studios in NYC, where our photog asked her about the images we got of J Lo sitting in a window seat on an Air France flight from Italy to France. Now, she was flying business class, but it’s still a far cry from her usual private jet lifestyle.

Sunny says the commercial air travel makes Jennifer more like a woman of the people … and she likes the fact the singer/actress/dancer can still fly among the normies, despite all her fame and fortune.

In other words, Sunny — who herself is from the Boogie Down Bronx — says J Lo is still comfortable in her “Jenny from the Block” persona … and she’s glad the singer/actress isn’t forgetting her roots.

While we’ve seen lots of celebs fly coach over the years — Sunny says she still does too — it’s still the exception to the rule … especially for an A-lister like J Lo.

Some fans might see this as Jennifer trying to save a buck as she and Ben Affleck appear to be headed toward a divorce, but Sunny says it’s deeper than that.

Sounds like a Bronx thing, and Sunny would know!

Zendaya and Tom Holland are married … so claims her longtime stylist, Law Roach.

Here’s the deal … the celebrity stylist — who started styling Zendaya way back in 2011 — spoke to Access Hollywood on the Actors Awards red carpet where he sang out “The wedding has already happened, you missed it.”

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The AH reporter asks in shock if that’s true … and, Law responds by saying it’s “very true” before walking off.

This isn’t the first time Tom and Zendaya’s relationship status has made headlines on a red carpet … remember at the Golden Globes in 2025, Zendaya had a ring on that finger — and, the next day, we found out the two were engaged.

We’ve reached out to Tom and Zendaya’s teams … so far, no word back.

The rise of prediction markets means you can now bet on just about anything, right from your phone. Apps like Kalshi and Polymarket have grown exponentially in President Trump’s second term, as his administration has rolled back regulations designed to keep the industry in check. Billions of dollars have flooded in, and users are placing bets on everything from whether it will rain in Seattle today to whether the US will take over control of Greenland. Who’s winning big on these apps? And who is losing? NPR correspondent Bobby Allyn joins The Sunday Story to explain how these markets came to be and where they are going.

This episode was produced by Andrew Mambo. It was edited by Liana Simstrom and Brett Neely. Fact-checking by Barclay Walsh and Susie Cummings. It was engineered by Robert Rodriguez.
