American singer Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her most recent divorce ended up being “the best thing” for her.
During a recent interview on Sirius XM’s “Howard Stern Show”, the 56-year-old actress and singer discussed her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck.
“When I got divorced last time, It was the best thing that ever happened to me”, she explained. “Because it really made me journey into – I mean, I had a religious coach. I had a therapist a couple’s therapist, an individual therapist. I had a coach to understand addiction”.
The Hustlers star has been married four times, most notably to Marc Anthony from 2004 – 2014, and to Ben Affleck from 2022 -2024.
When asked by Stern If she believes she’s ever truly loved”, Lopez said “no”, but that she knows what it means to truly love someone else. She also shared that part of the reason she feels that way is because “I didn’t love myself”
“What I learned, It’s not that I’m not lovable -It’s that they’re not not capable… They don’t have it in them”, she said, adding, “And they gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriage. All of it. But…”.
After working through the divorce, Lopez said she is now “able to sit here in a much more self-assured, self-aware way” and reflect on everything that has happened in her life.
“Whether my mother, my father, in my own life, how I learned to love, how I felt neglected – all the things that are in your head as a person – and know who I am and just really appreciate that person”, she explained.
“I feel really comfortable and good in being myself, all the good parts and all the kind of complicated things”.
Lopez marital journey will resonate with people who’ve experienced similar realizations about their own relationships.
Her fame, wealth didn’t protect her from trauma, disappointment, which paradoxically makes her more more relatable to audiences navigating their own romantic challenges.
