J.Lo Opens Up About Moving On From Past Relationships
Global superstar Jennifer Lopez isn’t one to linger on the past—especially when it comes to love. During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show on October 15, 2025, the 56-year-old singer playfully revealed how she deals with her former partners once a relationship ends.
“Once I’m done, you’re dead to me,” Lopez quipped with a laugh. “I’m going to get in trouble!” she added, acknowledging that the candid remark might raise eyebrows among fans.
The comment came as part of her first-ever interview with Howard Stern, where she admitted she was hesitant to appear on his show for fear of “getting into trouble.” But Lopez didn’t hold back when discussing her high-profile romantic past.
Lopez Reflects on Love, Letting Go, and Famous Exes
Jennifer’s romantic history has often been the subject of public fascination. Her exes include Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony—with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Emme and Max—former fiancé Alex Rodriguez, and actor Ben Affleck, whom she married and later divorced in 2024.
Despite the media’s constant interest in her love life, Lopez told Stern that she prefers to move on completely after a breakup. “I don’t hold on, to be honest,” she said. “Not dead to me, but definitely, it’s over, I’m going to move on.”
Her comments sparked laughter from Stern’s audience but also resonated with fans who admire her ability to embrace independence and self-respect after the end of relationships.
Why Jennifer Lopez Chooses to Look Forward
Known for her authenticity and resilience, Lopez explained that maintaining peace after heartbreak means accepting closure. “I live my life very out loud,” she said. “Even though I’m in the public eye, I still want to share my life with someone. I want someone to be there to share my big important moments.”
Lopez, who has been open about the challenges of dating under intense public scrutiny, acknowledged how difficult it can be to balance fame and personal relationships. “It’s hard to date someone who’s also famous and be under that microscope all the time,” she admitted.
Her statement reflects her long-standing philosophy on love—one grounded in self-worth and emotional maturity.
Ben Affleck Praises J.Lo’s Latest Performance
Although the couple officially split in 2024, Lopez and Ben reunited on the red carpet at the October 6 premiere of her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman in New York City. The movie, which Affleck helped produce, marks one of Lopez’s most ambitious projects to date, blending music, dance, and drama.
Affleck, 53, couldn’t help but praise his ex-wife’s artistry during the event. “Jennifer is incredible in this movie,” he told E! News. “She’s fabulous. It’s an enormously difficult role that combines singing, dancing, and acting. She pulls it off with grace and aplomb.”
He went on to describe her performance as “amazing, spectacular, and at the maximum level of difficulty for a performer.”
Lopez Credits Affleck for Supporting Her Film
Despite their split, Lopez expressed deep appreciation for Affleck’s involvement in the film. During an interview with Craig Melvin on Today, she said, “If it wasn’t for Ben, the movie wouldn’t have gotten made. I’ll always give him that credit.”
Her gracious acknowledgment highlighted the pair’s continued mutual respect and creative admiration, even after their marriage ended. The two share a complex history, having first dated in the early 2000s, rekindled their romance in 2021, married in 2022, and separated two years later.
Their recent reunion on the red carpet was widely viewed as a moment of maturity and professionalism, reflecting how both stars have grown since their early “Bennifer” days.
The Star’s Focus on Family and Future
Beyond her romantic relationships, Lopez continues to focus on her family and career. Recently, she opened up about her twins preparing for college, admitting that becoming an “empty nester” will be an emotional transition.
As she juggles motherhood, film production, and music, Lopez remains committed to empowering others through her story of perseverance and self-love. Her ability to remain confident and composed in the face of public scrutiny has only strengthened her connection with fans worldwide.
