Jennifer Lopez revealed the growth she received after her bombed divorce with Ben Affleck.
“It was the best thing that’s ever happened because it changed me,” the actress told CBS News, “Sunday Morning,” reflecting on how she reconciled her home life after her 2024 farewell.
“It didn’t change me,” she revealed. “It helped me grow in the way I needed to grow (and I became more self-aware.”
“I’m now a different person I was last year, a year and a half ago,” said Lopez, 56.
Elsewhere, the “On the Floor” singer filmed her upcoming film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” which she described as a “refuge” during “Best and the Waste of the Word.”
“Every moment on set, and every moment I was in this role, I was so happy,” she said.
“You’ll get through that,” added Lopez.
The “enough” star also shared that she is in a “good place” and said that past summers were “probably the best” she hadn’t experienced yet.
“I had so much fun. I could enjoy things more… there’s not much pressure,” she said.
“I realized that joy is about living and accepting these moments and truly life and everything it brings to you.”
Lopez also praised Affleck, 53, after telling the actor he was “born” to play the role of Ingrid Luna.
“He helped make it happen,” the “Serena” actress said.
In August 2024, Lopez filed for divorce from the “Gone Girl” star after a quiet split earlier that year.
After completing their first engagement in 2004, Exes gave their relationship a second shot in 2021, tied the knot the following year.
Since their breakup, the duo have been discovered together and reportedly remained “in friendly terms.”
