JENNIFER LOPEZ EXPOSES HER LOVE LIFE: THE LATINA QUEEN HAS HAD ENOUGH OF HIGH-PROFILE ROMANCES

In a shocking revelation, Jennifer Lopez has confessed that she's ditching dating apps and will only be looking for love in the real world from now on. The 56-year-old songstress, known for her stunning looks and captivating performances, made this bold statement during an exclusive interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show.

When asked if she'd ever consider joining the elite dating app Raya, Lopez bluntly replied, "No, I don't want that." This declaration comes as a surprise to many, especially considering her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, who was exposed as a Raya user. The drama-filled romance between the two Hollywood heavyweights is still fresh in our minds, and it seems Lopez has finally had enough of the dating app scene.

"I'm old-fashioned, I guess," Lopez confessed when asked about her aversion to dating apps. It's clear that she's not interested in swiping through profiles or attending exclusive events in search of love. Instead, she'll be focusing on meeting potential partners in a more organic way.

But what led to this sudden change of heart? A string of failed relationships and high-profile breakups have left Lopez feeling burned out. Her divorce from Affleck was finalized just last month, but the two remain amicable – at least for now. They recently put on a united front at the New York City premiere of Lopez's movie-musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which they co-produced together.

Lopez has been open about her struggles with love in the past, and it seems she's finally coming to terms with what went wrong. "What I learned is that it's not me who's the problem; it's them," she revealed during her conversation with Stern. "They're just not capable of loving me for who I am." Ouch!

'You would never go on [the exclusive dating app] Raya, would you?' asked Howard Stern during her Wednesday visit on his SiriusXM show, to which Lopez replied, 'No, I don't want that'

When asked about her previous relationships, Lopez candidly shared her experiences. She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 2003, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, and Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014. The latter relationship produced two beautiful children, Emme and Max. But it's clear that Lopez is still hurting from her recent breakup with Affleck.

"I think I've made mistakes in the sense that I live my life very out loud," she admitted. "I wanted to share my life with someone, but now I realize I should have kept those things private." This sentiment comes as no surprise, considering her high-profile romances and subsequent breakups have been splashed across the tabloids for years.

It's clear that Lopez is taking a step back from the spotlight when it comes to her love life. "I want to keep that part of my life so much more quiet," she revealed. But don't worry, fans – we'll still get to see plenty of her on the red carpet and in her upcoming projects.

In addition to tying the knot with Affleck in 2022, JLo was previously married to Ojani Noa, 51, Cris Judd, 56, and 57-year-old Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Emme and Max

In related news, Lopez recently expressed gratitude for Affleck's contribution to her movie-musical Kiss of the Spider Woman. "The movie wouldn't have been made if it weren't for him and Artists Equity," she gushed during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning in September. It's clear that there are no hard feelings between the two, at least not publicly.

As Lopez navigates this new chapter in her life, one thing is certain – we'll be watching closely to see who will be lucky enough to capture her heart next.
