Jennifer Lopez says she’s ‘not looking for a man’ following split from Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is hitting pause on dating—for now. The singer and actor, who finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck earlier this year, made it clear she’s not in a rush to jump back into the dating scene. In a recent Instagram post, Jennifer shared a lighthearted clip from an interview on the red carpet at the American Music Awards, where she playfully shut down any rumors about a new romance.

“Girl, I'm not looking for no man. I'm happy right now, I'm not trying to ruin it, okay?” she said with a smile, capturing her mood perfectly. She even threw in a nod to Céline Dion, captioning the video with the quote: “In the words of the great Céline Dion…‘I do it for mah-self…’”

J.Lo hosted the AMAs for the second time, dazzling the audience in a shimmering nude jumpsuit. She kicked off the night with a sultry version of her 2012 track Dance Again, before performing to chart-topping hits by artists like Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Doechii, and Billie Eilish. The performance had social media buzzing—especially a moment where she kissed both a male and female dancer during the set.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged back in the early 2000s, but called it off before making it down the aisle. Nearly two decades later, they found their way back to each other and finally tied the knot in 2022. But despite the fairytale reunion, things didn’t last. Just two years later, Jennifer filed for divorce, with April 26 marked as their official date of separation in court documents. Their relationship has been anything but ordinary, a true Hollywood rollercoaster.

On the professional front, Jennifer was last seen in Unstoppable and is gearing up for the release of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which earned praise after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
