Jennifer Lopez Says She’s ‘Free’ Being Alone After Yearlong Post-Divorce Pause

She told Good Morning America the hiatus let her understand herself without leaning on a relationship.

Overview

  • Lopez said she no longer fears being by herself and described feeling in her “happy era” more than a year after finalizing her split from Ben Affleck.
  • She emphasized she is not ready to date again, joking “God forbid,” because she does not want to disturb the contentment she has found.
  • After the separation, she took roughly a year off, canceling tours and staying home to prioritize time with her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
  • Lopez framed the break as deliberate self-examination, saying she stopped looking for external fixes and asked herself what needed to change.
  • For context, she filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, and it was finalized on January 6, 2025, and she has since eased back into work, including a Las Vegas residency running through March 28.
