Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Her Dating Life Post Divorce From Ben Affleck

Buy Me A Coffee

Buckle up for this juicy rollercoaster of romance revelations from none other than Jennifer Lopez—a.k.a. J.Lo, a.k.a. the queen of looking fabulous at literally any age.

So, the 55-year-old powerhouse recently hit the big red “divorce” button on her marriage with Ben Affleck, the man who’s been wearing varying shades of scruffy for 52 years. They called it quits earlier this summer, probably because Ben spent too much time in Dunkin’ drive-thrus, and J.Lo finally ran out of patience (and iced coffee tolerance).

In a new interview, J.Lo sat down with comedian Nikki Glaser and gave us all some wisdom from her treasure trove of love lessons, accumulated over decades of dating, heartbreak, and incredible hair moments.

When asked about whether she’s diving back into the dating pool, J.Lo hit us with a curveball. Spoiler alert: She’s not. Nope, not even a toe dip. No swiping right, no awkward first dates, no weird “U up?” texts at 2 a.m. She’s waving the white flag on love, at least for now. And honestly? Can you blame her? After years of dealing with Hollywood relationships, she’s probably earned a break the size of her engagement ring collection.

But before you start a “Find J.Lo Love Again” GoFundMe, she’s totally fine with it. In fact, she’s not just fine—she’s thriving. She’s become the Dalai Lama of self-love, telling us all to chill and stop looking for our “better halves” because, surprise, we’re already whole! (Thanks, J.Lo, I’ll take that on a T-shirt, please).

Jennifer’s big takeaway? You don’t need to be perfect to find love! Gasp! I know, right? It’s like when you discover you don’t have to follow every single skincare step to have a glow-up. J.Lo gets deep, saying, “Someone who truly loves you will help you heal those parts of yourself.” So, basically, she’s looking for someone who’s both a life partner and a licensed therapist. Noted.

She even dropped a truth bomb about love being this warm, fuzzy, secure thing. Apparently, the right person makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a big cozy blanket of understanding and respect, which sounds way better than those scratchy, toxic relationships most of us have been dragging ourselves through.

Now, Nikki—being the comic genius she is—points out that J.Lo’s set the bar impossibly high for the next person who dares to woo her. But hold on, J.Lo’s like, “New bar? What bar? The bar’s closed, honey!” That’s right, for the first time ever, J.Lo is single and NOT ready to mingle. The dating apps can rest easy; they won’t be crashed by J.Lo any time soon.

And for all you hopeless romantics out there, J.Lo has some tough love: You don’t need a partner to be happy. “It only took me 30 years to figure this out,” she joked, probably while flipping her perfect hair in slow motion. And honestly, that’s the kind of energy we all need going into our next self-care bath.

As for Ben? Well, he got a few subtle nods in the interview too, but we’ll leave that tea for another time.
