Washington [US], March 23: Jennifer Lopez is reportedly ready to step back into the dating scene just two months after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. Court documents revealed that the couple officially settled their divorce terms on January 6, with the Los Angeles County Superior Court declaring them legally single on February 21.
According to sources, Lopez is now open to meeting new people and exploring the possibility of love once again. “Jennifer is ready to put herself out there again and she hasn’t given up on finding love,” an insider shared. Friends of the pop star have reportedly encouraged her to start dating again, and she’s reportedly open to the idea of meeting someone new.
This time, Lopez is considering expanding her dating options beyond the celebrity world. “Jennifer is considering dating somebody who isn’t in the public eye this time around but she’s not limiting herself to any particular type,” the source added.
Lopez and Affleck married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, before hosting a larger celebration in Georgia with friends and family in August 2022. However, after two years of marriage, Lopez filed for divorce in April 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The official separation date was listed as April 26, 2024.
While Lopez is ready to move forward, Affleck, on the other hand, has reportedly been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Despite this, sources claim neither Lopez nor Garner has any interest in rekindling a relationship with Affleck. “I’d say they’re both relieved to be done with him,” one source revealed.
The source added that Ben, described as an “emotional rollercoaster,” has recently reached out to Lopez again, though she and Garner have developed a strong friendship, particularly in their shared experience of co-parenting. “The two Jennifers are actually friends. They bonded over co-parenting their kids. I don’t know why the press feels they have to pit women against each other,” the insider shared.
Lopez, meanwhile, is looking forward to new beginnings and exploring what the future holds in her personal life.
