Jennifer Lopez on Divorce from Ben Affleck: “It Changed Me”
Jennifer Lopez recently reflected on her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck, describing it as a “tough” chapter but ultimately transformative.
The couple, once famously dubbed Bennifer, first split in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance in 2021.
They married in 2022, but by 2023 had grown apart, with Lopez filing for divorce in August 2024.
Court documents show their separation stretched well before the divorce was finalized in January 2025.

Speaking with CBS Sunday Morning, Lopez shared: “Honestly,
I have to say it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it changed me…
it helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow, become more self-aware.”
Lopez also credited Affleck’s role in her career, noting: “The movie wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for him and Artist Equity.”
Her film Kiss of the Spider Woman premieres October 10, 2025.
