She added, \u201cWe should have a party when we break up. People should say, \u2018You broke up? Congratulations.\u2019 Because one, you made a decision. Two, it was probably the best thing for everybody.\u201d She believes that the one who faces a breakup is actually a \u201cwinner\u201d compared to the ones who go around breaking hearts, whom she considers a \u201closer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The singer-actress also believes that most learning comes after the heartbreak. \u201cI just feel like the biggest growth spurts I\u2019ve had emotionally, mentally, psychologically have always come from a heartbreak. And that\u2019s not just in romantic relationships; that\u2019s in work heartbreaks, all of it. It\u2019s the only time you dig,\u201d she elaborated. Lopez stated that heartbreaks give you the time to self-reflect and to bring changes to be better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier this year, Lopez broke the silence on her split with Affleck, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aninews.in\/news\/entertainment\/hollywood\/took-a-year-off-jennifer-lopez-opens-up-on-post-divorce-healing20260312194512\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:citing;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;citing&quot;}\" class=\"link \">citing<\/a> that she took a year off to deal with things rather than to run away from them. In this time, she spent some time with the kids and tried to figure things out on her own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019m in my happy era. I feel like, for the first time in my life, I\u2019m free. I\u2019m on my own. And it feels really good. I didn\u2019t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s, and even before that, I\u2019d always had a boyfriend.
