Jennifer Lopez sat down for her first interview since her divorce from Ben Affleck.
Ariel Reshep has the details.
Good morning, Ariel.
Hey, good morning to you, George.
J-Lo goes deep in that interview, pulling back the curtain on her divorce, loneliness, and uncertainty.
She calls this year the hardest time of her life.
For the first time, Jennifer Lopez speaking out to Interview magazine about her divorce from husband Ben Affleck,
telling Nikki Glaser her world exploded, saying, quote,
It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate.
Not all love stories have a happy ending.
It's been a difficult year for J-Lo, first canceling her This Is Me Live summer tour,
then filing for divorce from Ben Affleck in August after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.
Broken like me. Broken like me. Covered in scars.
J-Lo, candid that it's been hard, but she's doing a lot of self-reflecting, saying,
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?
Over the years, Affleck appearing in multiple projects with Lopez.
From the famous yacht scene in Jenny from the Block to a cameo in her video Marry Me.
To her documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told on Prime Video,
which featured their passionate relationship.
The title inspired by the letters he wrote to her during their romance 20 years ago.
I'd never fallen out of love with you. I had just put it over here.
J-Lo confessing she had to take the summer to prove to herself she was OK being on her own.
Now, on the other side, she says she doesn't need anyone to make her happy, saying,
Being in a relationship doesn't define me. I can't be looking for happiness in other people.
I have to have happiness within myself.
Now, in this interview, J-Lo also admits that negative comments can really get to her,
saying, If I see something that's hurtful, I'm not Teflon.
She says that she's leaning on her close friends and family during this challenging time.
Nothing like the support of family, Michael.
That is the truth, Ariel. Thank you so much for that.
