More than seven months after her split from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is finally speaking out—and she’s doing it with peace, humor, and confidence.
In a red carpet interview at the 2025 American Music Awards, where she hosted and performed, the 55-year-old pop and film icon was asked how she’s feeling now compared to a decade ago when she last led the event.
“I do evolve and grow… but now I’m much more happy than I was even then,” Lopez told Access Hollywood.
“I just want to enjoy it and be in the moment.”
A High-Profile Marriage That Didn’t Last
Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024, just over two years after their rekindled romance made global headlines in 2022. But according to her, the emotional split actually happened months earlier, in April.
The relationship, once praised as a Hollywood fairytale revival, has ended quietly—but not without speculation and public curiosity.
Affleck recently addressed their breakup in a GQ interview, calling it “embarrassing” and “unremarkable,” saying:
“There’s no scandal, no soap opera. It’s just two people trying to figure out their lives.”
Lopez Isn’t Looking for Love—And She’s Fine With That
When asked if she’d be joining friend Tiffany Haddish in “playing the field,” J.Lo laughed and made her priorities clear:
“She said that to me! I said, ‘Girl, I’m not looking for no man. I’m happy right now, I’m not trying to ruin it.’”
This isn’t just a catchy quote—it signals a new phase for Lopez, one focused on self-love, stability, and letting go of public expectations.
A Career Peak, A Personal Reset
Jennifer Lopez continues to thrive professionally, with new music, hosting gigs, and film projects on the horizon. But for the star who’s often made headlines for her high-profile romances, this moment feels different. More grounded. More hers.
“There was always so much angst before,” she reflected.
“Now, I just want to enjoy it. That’s the biggest difference.”
What’s Next for J.Lo?
While fans may hope for another romantic plot twist, Jennifer Lopez has made it clear: the only relationship she’s investing in right now is with herself.
And in her own words, she’s happier than ever.
