Jennifer Lopez Says 1 Movie Night With Father Helped Heal Ben Affleck Divorce

Summary

  • Jennifer Lopez said watching Oscar-nominated Brazilian film “I’m Still Here” with her father during the holidays became a turning point in her recovery from her divorce from Ben Affleck.
  • David Lopez joined the screening unexpectedly, and when he saw her crying, he cupped her face and told her he loved her — a moment she said “healed a part of me.”
  • Lopez said the breakthrough came after months of intense self-examination, including therapy, coaching, books on relationships and neuroscience, plus daily meditation, journaling and prayer.
  • Her twins Max and Emme also drove that effort: Lopez said she promised them she would come through the painful period stronger, while continuing work on projects including “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and Netflix’s “Office Romance.”
