Jennifer Lopez Embraces Independence After Divorce from Ben Affleck

In October 2025, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Ben Affleck were spotted cozying up at the New York City premiere of Lopez's new movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman. The former couple, who divorced in 2024 after two years of marriage, looked comfortable as they posed for photos and chatted on the red carpet, leading to speculation of a romantic reunion.

However, sources close to the situation confirm that Affleck was there solely to support the film as an executive producer, and Lopez, 56, has no interest in rekindling their relationship. The actress is thriving on her own, focused on her career and her 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez has been open about the challenges of her divorce from Affleck, 53, calling it a "tough time" that ultimately became "the best thing that ever happened" to her. She has used the experience to grow and become more self-aware, channeling her pain into her work, including her performance in Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is generating Oscar buzz.

Despite the warm words between the former spouses, the sources emphasize that their relationship is now strictly professional, with Lopez "more likely to keep in touch with the kids" than Affleck. The exes have made an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy for their blended family, with Lopez and Affleck's three children remaining close.

As Lopez looks to the future, she is centered on her own self-care and independence. The singer, who has been divorced four times, is not currently dating and is enjoying the freedom to make decisions without compromise. With a new Netflix rom-com, a Las Vegas residency, and new music in the works, Lopez is focused on her passions and feels "on top of the world."
