Jennifer Lopez is ready to move on with her life and start dating again. The singer and actress has been embracing a fresh start just two months after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. A report states that Lopez say she is open to finding love again and is feeling encouraged by her close friends and family to get back out there.
An insider revealed to Page Six that Lopez is now ready to “put herself out there again” and hasn’t given up on the idea of love. One of the reasons she is considering dating again is because she has recently seen Affleck spending a lot of time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Reports say this made Lopez realize it was time to focus on her own happiness and future.
While Lopez is open to meeting someone new, she is said to be considering dating someone who is not in the public eye. However, according to sources, she isn’t setting any strict limits on who she might be interested in.
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck has been leaning on Jennifer Garner more and more since his split from Lopez. Affleck and Garner, who share three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—have been co-parenting and spending time together as a family. Garner has been in a steady relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018, but her close bond with Affleck has led to rumors of them possibly getting back together.
Earlier this month, Affleck and Garner were spotted hugging during a family outing at a paintball event with their kids. This led to speculation that they might be rekindling their relationship. Body language expert Patti Wood told Radar Online that Affleck’s hug didn’t seem like something you do with an ex. However, sources close to both women say there’s no lingering romantic interest between Garner and Affleck or between Lopez and Affleck. One insider told Page Six, “I’d say they’re both relieved to be done with him.”
The same source mentioned that Ben Affleck has been an emotional roller coaster and has even been reaching out to Lopez again recently. Interestingly, it’s been reported that Lopez and Garner are actually friends. They have grown closer through co-parenting their children and supporting each other through their experiences with Affleck. The source added, “I don’t know why the press feels they have to pit women against each other.”
Lopez was officially declared single last month after her divorce from Affleck was finalized on January 6. However, the court ruled the divorce would not go into effect until February 21, exactly six months after she filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.
For now, Jennifer Lopez seems focused on moving forward and finding love again on her own terms.
