Jennifer Lopez Calls Out Ben Affleck: A Divorce Reflection Eight Months On
Jennifer Lopez Unloads on Ex-Husbands, Says They Lacked Love
In a shocking revelation, Jennifer Lopez has come clean about her past relationships, dropping a bombshell that will leave fans talking for weeks. During an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show, the 56-year-old pop sensation revealed that she's never truly felt loved by any of her ex-husbands - including Ben Affleck.
When asked if she'd ever been truly loved, Lopez shot back, "What I learned is not that I'm not lovable – it's that they're not capable... They don't have it in them!" The singer went on to explain that while her past partners showered her with lavish gifts and romantic gestures, she never felt the depth of love she deserved.
"It's like they gave me all of it, every time - all the rings, all the things I could ever want," Lopez said candidly. "Tried to give me the houses, the marriage – all of it." The star confessed that she'd been pouring her heart and soul into these relationships, only to realize that she was giving more than she was getting.
The Toxic Cycle
Lopez's latest comments have sparked speculation about her high-profile marriages and engagements. The Unstoppable producer-star has been married four times - to Ojani Noa (1998), Cris Judd (2003), Marc Anthony (2004-2011), and most recently, Ben Affleck (2022). Her relationship history also includes a notable romance with Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Lopez's 17-year marriage to Marc Anthony produced twin children, Emme and Max. The singer has often spoken about the challenges of balancing family life with her demanding career. However, it seems that her experiences have left her disillusioned with love.
The Breakup That Freed Her
In February 2023, Lopez announced her divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. She later revealed that this breakup was a liberating experience, allowing her to focus on self-discovery and growth. "It really made me journey into... I mean, I had a religious coach, I had a therapist, a couple's therapist, an individual therapist, I had a coach to understand addiction," Lopez confessed.
"I was like, 'I'm gonna fin' figure this s out if it kills me.'" This candid admission has sparked interest among fans and followers, many of whom are eager to know more about Lopez's journey towards self-love and acceptance.
The Business Behind the Breakup
Interestingly, Ben Affleck's production company, Artists Equity, funded Lopez's recent film project, Kiss of the Spider Woman. The movie, based on a 1992 West End musical, has garnered a respectable 77% critic approval rating but has struggled to attract audiences, earning only $902K at the box office since its release last Friday.
Lopez's involvement in the project may have been seen as a strategic move to salvage her relationship with Affleck. However, it seems that this partnership didn't quite pay off as planned. The singer's business acumen and ability to navigate complex deals will undoubtedly continue to fascinate fans.
Looking Ahead
As Lopez continues to dominate the entertainment industry, she's set to appear on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen next Wednesday night. On November 1st, the star will be honored with the Virtuoso Award at SCAD Savannah Film Festival for her performance in Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Lopez has several upcoming projects in the pipeline, including Netflix rom-com Office Romance and thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish, both of which she'll produce alongside other ventures. Her Las Vegas residency, Up All Night Live in Las Vegas, is set to kick off on December 30th at Caesars Palace's The Colosseum.
With a staggering 27.4M monthly listeners on Spotify and over 80M records sold worldwide, Lopez remains one of the most successful artists of our time. Her journey towards self-love and acceptance continues to captivate audiences, making her one of the most fascinating celebrities in the entertainment industry today.
