Jennifer Lopez has finally spoken out about her divorce from Ben Affleck after being married for two years.
The celebrity who posed in leopard print for Interview magazine’s 55th anniversary cover described the breakup as ‘difficult’ and ‘challenging.’ JLo expressed feelings of loneliness, fear, and sadness after the split. She emphasized the importance of finding happiness within oneself rather than relying on others for fulfillment. Reflecting on her experience, she acknowledged that personal growth is a continuous journey without a final destination. Despite setbacks and mistakes, she remains determined to keep evolving and learning from life’s challenges.
The glamorous star rocked some fierce animal print bathing suits while chatting with Nikki Glaser about her eventful summer.
The actress from Atlas opened up about how her life has completely turned upside down this year, revealing the valuable lessons she still needs to learn, even though she didn’t mention Ben by name.
In 2003, Jennifer was seen with Ben during their engagement, and she also attended the premiere of his movie Unstoppable at TIFF. Reflecting on her past experiences, Jennifer shared that it’s important to analyze each situation and understand your role in it, acknowledging the lessons that can be learned. Without mentioning her divorce from Ben, she admitted that she still had more to learn. Jennifer emphasized the importance of self-reflection and understanding the underlying emotions and beliefs that influence our decisions and behaviors. She emphasized the need to continuously look inward and take responsibility for our actions, rather than blaming others for our mistakes.
After parting ways with Ben, she expressed her need for solitude once more, emphasizing the importance of being whole and healthy in order to find something truly fulfilling.
She emphasized the importance of being self-sufficient, sharing, “I thought I understood the concept, but realized I still had a lot to learn. This summer, I made the decision to spend time by myself. I wanted to challenge myself and demonstrate that I am capable of standing on my own two feet.”
When Nikki inquired about the difficulty of the task, JLo responded with a resounding affirmation, exclaiming, “Yes, it’s damn hard!”
Feeling lonely, unfamiliar, and scared, the singer Can’t Get Enough expressed her sadness and desperation. She then touched on the importance of loving one’s flaws and setting boundaries in relationships. Lopez emphasized that true love involves helping each other grow and be better individuals within the safety of boundaries.
When Glaser suggested Lopez has set a new standard for future partners, she dismissed the idea, stating she’s not actively seeking anyone. She asserted that one doesn’t need a relationship to feel complete or happy, acknowledging that it took her 30 years to reach this understanding.
Despite facing negativity surrounding her divorce, Lopez remains resilient, although she admitted that hurtful comments can sometimes affect her. When asked about any regrets regarding her past marriage, she affirmed that the pain endured was not in vain.
Regarding Ben’s latest movie Unstoppable, in which she plays a role, she described it as ‘absolutely stunning.’ She decided to be a part of the film because she found the story highly inspiring and appreciated that it showcased Latino culture.
I didn’t waste a single moment. It could have easily been the end of me, but looking back, I realize that it was exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long to understand. I should have learned my lesson sooner, but you had to hit me hard to make me see. I finally understand now. And that doesn’t mean I have everything figured out. I’m excited to be on my own, after years of facing challenges. Canceling my summer tour was a tough decision, but it allowed me to focus on myself, which was the best thing for me at that time.
Regarding Ben’s new film Unstoppable, in which I play a role, I found it truly beautiful. The story of Anthony Robles, a wrestler born with just one leg, is truly inspiring. Playing his young mother was a rewarding experience. I had the opportunity to watch the film with an audience at TIFF, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. It’s a powerful and uplifting story that I believe the world needs to hear right now.
