Jennifer Lopez reflects on ‘year off' after Ben Affleck divorce
Jennifer Lopez has spoken openly about taking a full year away from work following her divorce from Ben Affleck, describing the period as one of genuine self-reflection and, ultimately, liberation.
Appearing on Good Morning America on Wednesday, 11th March, Lopez, 56, said she had to "stop everything" after her split from Affleck, 53, explaining that being home with her twins Max and Emme, 18, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, became her immediate priority.
"I was just at a point where I was approval, 'What is going on with you?'" she said. "I couldn't blame anybody else because I don't think that's where the lesson is. And so, I really needed to figure myself out."
Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024 after separating from Affleck earlier that year, with the divorce finalised in January 2025.
More than a year on, she says she has arrived somewhere she has never quite been before.
