Jennifer Lopez reveals whether she is dating again after Ben Affleck split

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Jennifer Lopez’s recent interview is a testament to strength, resilience, and self-discovery. Her journey through love, heartbreak, and personal growth serves as an inspiring narrative for many who find themselves in similar situations.


Jennifer Lopez split from Ben Affleck in April and filed for divorce in August.

Now the 55-year-old This Is Me… Now singer has shared whether she is dating again.

The person known as The Atlas Star, who dedicated her summer to self-improvement following a period of personal turmoil, cautioned Interview magazine not to jump to conclusions too quickly.

When comedian Nikki Glaser suggested that JLo could set a high standard for her future partners, JLo responded by saying, “Actually, there’s no need to set a new standard because I’m not seeking anyone right now. Does that make sense?

Lopez also said, ‘It’s just me flying on my own.’

The Unstoppable star added this is the first time she has ever said that as a single woman.

In a conversation, the twin’s mother expressed, “For those who cherish romance, enjoy being in relationships, and dream of growing old with someone special, they often believe, ‘I need that to be complete and content.’ However, this isn’t universally true.

And she added ‘it took 30 years’ to get to this place, she noted. 

Toward the end of the interview, Nikki asks Jennifer again about the end of her marriage.

‘The pain you just went through, you do not regret,’ said Glaser.

‘Not one second. That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did. 

Initially, I felt overwhelmed, but looking back now, I can’t help but think, “Wow, that was exactly what I needed. Thank you, universe. I apologize for my slow learning. I’m sorry for putting you through this ordeal so many times. I should have grasped it long ago. It seems I needed a significant wake-up call, like a powerful hammer to the head, or a heavy house falling on me. I hope I won’t need such harsh lessons again.

Glaser then said, ‘You finally got it.’

The Maid In Manhattan actress agreed: ‘I finally got it! And by the way, that doesn’t mean I have everything figured out.

‘Now I’m excited, when you say you’re just going to be on your own. 

Yes, I’m not seeking anyone right now. My experiences over the last 25 to 30 years, filled with various tough circumstances, have left me in a place where I feel self-reliant. What can I possibly do but rely on myself when it comes to flying solo?

After parting ways with Ben, the actress from Hustlers suggested that it’s essential to prioritize personal well-being and wholeness in order to seek something even more fulfilling: “For true growth, you must nurture your health and completeness.

It turns out that I hadn’t truly internalized the lesson: ‘You must learn to rely on yourself.’ This realization hit me during the summer, prompting me to say, “It’s time for me to step away and be independent. I want to demonstrate to myself that I can handle things on my own.

When Nikki asked if the breakup was ‘hard,’ JLo replied: ‘Yes, it’s f***ing hard!’

And she feels sad.

The Can’t Get Enough singer expressed that it felt isolating, strange, frightening. It was a sorrowful feeling. It seemed desperate.

When you settle into those emotions and think, “These situations won’t break me,” it’s more like realizing that I am capable of experiencing joy and happiness independently. Being in a relationship doesn’t determine my identity. I can’t search for happiness from others. Instead, I need to cultivate happiness within myself. Previously, I described myself as a happy person, but I was still seeking fulfillment in someone else, and it feels like, “No, I am whole just the way I am.

When she addressed her ‘lessons’ she said it is a ‘lifelong process.’

‘I think that’s what I love about life, that there’s no arrival point,’ said the Bronx beauty.

‘You always have the opportunity to improve and expand; it’s all about progressing or fading away. I choose progression over decline.’

Indeed, there have been moments when I believed I had unraveled the mysteries of life, only to find it presenting me with fresh challenges to test my understanding. It seems as though life is constantly asking, “Can you apply what you’ve learned in this new situation?” And, on more than one occasion, I must confess that I fell short and discovered I still had lessons to learn.

It’s become clearer to me now, but it doesn’t guarantee I won’t err in the future. However, when something as devastating as your home being destroyed happens, you can’t help but wonder, “What steps must I take to prevent such a disaster from recurring?

Lopez then said that her flaws should be loved too as she addressed ‘boundaries.’

‘Somebody who truly loves you will help you heal those parts of yourself. 

‘That’s what I’ve learned about love, that it is a secure thing. You make me feel safe, and when I fall short of the glory, you understand me and you help me to grow to be better, because you have your boundaries and I have my boundaries.’
