Amid the divorce, Lopez canceled her summer 2024 tour to focus on her personal well-being, describing the experience as lonely and scary but necessary.

She expressed gratitude for the lessons learned through her past relationships, recognizing the need for self-examination.

Lopez emphasized that she has learned to feel complete without a significant other, stating, 'you don't need a partner to be whole and happy.'

Jennifer Lopez, 55, has publicly addressed her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, 52, for the first time since filing in August.

The couple separated in April 2024 after two years of marriage, having previously dated from 2002 to 2004.

In a candid interview with comedian Nikki Glaser, published on October 9, 2023, Lopez reflected on the emotional toll of her marriage breakdown and its transformative impact.

Lopez expressed that she does not regret the pain from the breakup, viewing it as essential for her personal growth.

Describing the past few months as a personal rollercoaster, she acknowledged feeling 'heartsick and devastated' about disappointing her fans.

She highlighted the importance of self-acceptance and personal growth, viewing it as a lifelong process rather than a final destination.

The interview also coincided with the promotion of her upcoming film, Unstoppable, which showcases her journey and resilience.

Lopez humorously noted that it took her 30 years to reach this realization about self-fulfillment after her divorce from Affleck.

Throughout the conversation, she reinforced the idea that public perceptions do not define her true self, emphasizing her commitment to personal growth.
