Jennifer Lopez is back on the dating scene, two months after finalising her divorce from Ben Affleck. The 55-year-old superstar is “ready to put herself out there again.” insiders claim.

After a string of high-profile breakups, J.Lo has vowed to take things slow and avoid her signature “too quick” approach.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND BEN AFFLECK

Jennifer Lopez and Affleck’s marriage officially ended on 21 February 2025, six months after she filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.

The split came as no shock – sources say Affleck “checked out” of the relationship, leaving Lopez heartbroken but determined to move on.

Jennifer Lopez’s friends are cheering her on, urging her to “focus on finding love”. But she’s not rushing. “She’s being very selective,” a source spills, according to Live Mint.

“No more diving in with an open heart – this time, she’s prioritising honesty and integrity”. After past relationships with the likes of Marc Anthony and Alex Rodriguez, she’s learned to trust her instincts.

Meanwhile, Ben Affleck’s been spending time with his first wife, Jennifer Garner – sparking gossip about a reunion.

The two were spotted hugging during a paintball outing with their kids, but insiders insist it’s purely platonic.

“Ben’s an emotional roller coaster,” a source snorts. “Both Jennifers are relieved to be done with him”.

Jennifer Lopez’s considering dating someone “not in the public eye” – a departure from her usual A-list romances, People.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND THE DATING SCENE

But she’s not ruling out anyone. “She’s open to meeting someone new,” a friend reveals. After years of tabloid scrutiny, maybe a low-key love is just what she needs.

The divorce settlement included their R1.2 billion Beverly Hills mansion, which they’d listed for R1.4 billion before splitting, according to NDTV.

With no prenup, dividing assets was tricky – but both already had their own fortunes (Lopez’s net worth? A cool R8.4 billion).

Jennifer Lopez’s already proving she’s thriving post-divorce.

FOCUS ON LOVE

At the 2025 Grammys, she rocked a sparkly skirt and chiselled abs – a defiant middle finger to heartbreak. As she told Page Six: “She hasn’t given up on finding love”.

For now, she’s focusing on herself – and maybe, just maybe, a quiet romance. As one insider quips: “She’s not interested in rekindling anything with Ben. She’s too busy living her best life”.

Jennifer Lopez ’s mantra? “Trust your instincts, avoid the ego, and never ignore red flags”. After decades of drama, she’s finally playing the dating game on her terms.
