In a candid interview with Interview Magazine, Jennifer Lopez reflected on her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, emphasizing that she has no regrets about her decision. The couple, who married in July 2022, separated in April 2024, leading Lopez to file for divorce in August.
Lopez described the emotional turmoil of the breakup, admitting it felt overwhelmingly lonely and desperate at times. However, she expressed a newfound sense of freedom, stating, “I’m excited to be free and flying on my own.” The 55-year-old actress emphasized the importance of self-love, declaring that her happiness does not depend on being in a relationship.
She acknowledged the pain of the experience, noting that while it “almost took me out for good,” she views the breakup as a necessary step in her personal growth. “I should have learned it two or three times ago,” she reflected, thanking the universe for guiding her to this point.
Lopez and Affleck's love story has been tumultuous, beginning in 2002, with their initial engagement in 2003 ending in a split the following year. After rekindling their romance in 2021, they were engaged again in 2022.
