Summary
Jennifer Lopez said on the June 15 episode of SmartLess that her 2025 divorce from Ben Affleck became a “turning point” that forced her to “figure yourself out.”
At about the 42-minute mark, Lopez said she canceled her tour after the split and focused on her own role in failed relationships rather than blaming others.
The divorce ended a three-year marriage that followed the couple’s 2022 reconciliation, nearly two decades after their first engagement collapsed in the early 2000s.
Lopez said she is not rushing into another relationship, though she and Affleck have remained friends and occasional business partners, including his support for her casting in Kiss of the Spider-Woman.
