Summary
On Monday's Smartless podcast, Jennifer Lopez said her divorce from Ben Affleck was a "great decision" and described the split as a turning point rather than something to blame solely on her ex.
Lopez said canceling her summer tour forced her to confront "what is going on with you," pushing her toward self-reflection and what she called inner healing instead of looking for love elsewhere.
The breakup became public in May 2024 after tour cancellation and reports that Affleck had moved out; the couple had reunited about 20 years after their 2002 engagement and married in July 2022.
Earlier this month on Jimmy Kimmel, Lopez said she "should have done it sooner" and signaled she has fully embraced being single, framing the divorce as part of a broader reset.
