Jennifer Lopez declares she’s ‘better than ever’ after finalizing Ben Affleck divorce and swearing off marriage

Jennifer Lopez has recently made it clear that she’s done with marriage after experiencing four divorces throughout her life. The singer and actress responded to a fan’s marriage proposal sign during her Up All Night tour performance in Europe, stating that she’s tried marriage “a few times” and appears to be finished with the idea.

According to Page Six, the 55-year-old superstar has had a complex journey with marriage, starting with her first husband, actor Ojani Noa, whom she married in 1997 and divorced in 1998. She then married Cris Judd in 2001, but their marriage ended in 2003. Her longest marriage was with singer Marc Anthony, lasting from 2004 to 2014, during which they had twins who are now 17 years old.

During her recent European tour performances, Lopez has shown resilience and optimism, declaring she is “better than ever” following her latest divorce from Ben Affleck. The statement comes as she performs her new track Wreckage of You, which she revealed was written during a sleepless night.

Lopez and Affleck’s relationship timeline shows a complicated history

The relationship between Lopez and Affleck has been particularly notable, as they were first engaged in the early 2000s before breaking it off in 2004. They later reunited and married in 2022, but their marriage ended in separation in spring 2024, with their divorce being finalized in January. The former couple is currently facing difficulties selling their Los Angeles marital home, valued at $68 million, which they have now removed from the market.

Beyond her marriages, Lopez’s romantic history includes several high-profile relationships. She was engaged to baseball star Alex Rodriguez from 2017 to 2021 and had relationships with Sean “Diddy” Combs from 1999 to 2001, Casper Smart between 2012 and 2016, and a brief connection with Drake in 2016.

Her most recent ex-husband, Marc Anthony, has also been married four times and is currently married to 26-year-old Nadia Ferreira. Anthony himself has admitted to Page Six that he might not be the best person to ask about maintaining a successful marriage.

Lopez is currently focusing on her career, particularly her “Up All Night” tour in Europe. During her performances, she has been sharing personal moments with her audience, including performing new music that appears to reflect her recent life experiences.
