Jennifer Lopez’s past summer, in which she canceled her tour and divorced Ben Affleck, was ‘probably the hardest time’ of her life. But it was ‘the best’ too.
This is Jennifer Lopez . post-divorce.
The “Let’s Get Loud” singer and “Hustlers” star did not have a brat summer or hot girl summer, for that matter. No. Her “whole f— world exploded” during that tumultuous but transformative season in which she was dogged by speculation about her marriage to Ben Affleck, called off her concert tour and filed for divorce from the Oscar winner after two years of marriage.
Opening up for the first time since the split, the pop superstar said that she’s been working on self-love and figuring herself out.
“It’s looking back at the feelings underneath and the belief systems that we have about ourselves that make us make certain choices and create certain patterns in our life,” she told comedian Nikki Glaser in an Interview magazine sit-down published Wednesday. “And so, when you get to a point where you think that you’ve learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, ‘OK, I haven’t, so what is it that I need to look at right now?’ I would say, never stop looking inward, because it’s so easy to blame everybody else.”
The Grammy Award winner did not mention Affleck by name, but she alluded to the split and her past relationships throughout the talk.
