Jennifer Lopez is embracing the single life as 2026 approaches. According to a People<\/em> report<\/a> on Monday, the Kiss of the Spider Woman<\/em> star is not dating nearly a year after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck.<\/p>\n

A source told the outlet that Lopez is focused on her family and career, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s all about work and the kids for her. She seems happy and content.\u201d Lopez shares 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.<\/p>\n

\n

Lopez filed for divorce<\/u><\/a> from Affleck on Aug. 20, 2024\u2014exactly two years after their second wedding ceremony<\/u><\/a> in Georgia\u2014listing April 26 as their separation date. The divorce was finalized in early 2025. Their split marked the end of a highly publicized reunion<\/a> that began in 2021, nearly two decades after they first called off their engagement in 2004.<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking with Nikki Glaser for Interview<\/em><\/u> magazine<\/u><\/a> in October 2024, Lopez opened up about embracing life on her own after years of emotional challenges. \u201cYes, I\u2019m not looking for anybody, because everything that I\u2019ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I fucking do when it\u2019s just me flying on my own\u2026what if I\u2019m just free?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She echoed similar sentiments during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show<\/em><\/u><\/a>, where she reflected on past relationships and self-worth. \u201cWhat I learned [is that] it\u2019s not that I\u2019m not lovable. It\u2019s that they\u2019re not capable,\u201d Lopez noted. She also said that she doesn\u2019t plan to use dating apps and considers herself \u201cold-fashioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources also previously told Us Weekly<\/em> that being single has been empowering for Lopez, describing her as feeling \u201cstronger alone\u201d and \u201cliberated\u201d to make decisions without compromise. \u201cJen feels more comfortable in her skin than ever,\u201d one insider told the outlet. \u201cThere\u2019s a sense of independence and peace about her. She\u2019s in a really good headspace right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
