Jennifer Lopez Opens Up On Divorce From Ben Affleck: 'It Almost Took Me Out For Good'
Last week, Lopez hosted a private listening party in Los Angeles where she previewed tracks from her upcoming international tour.
Jennifer Lopez is finally breaking her silence on her emotional split from Ben Affleck—and she's channelling that heartbreak into her music.
According to Marie Claire, the couple's divorce was quietly finalised in January 2025, nearly two years after their lavish wedding. Lopez had filed for divorce the previous summer, making the timing even more heartbreaking—it fell close to their second wedding anniversary. But rather than shy away from it, the global superstar is turning the pain into art.
Last week, Lopez hosted a private listening party in Los Angeles where she previewed tracks from her upcoming international tour. One standout was a newly written track titled Wreckage of You, which she revealed had come to her just two weeks prior, while lying in bed after rehearsals.
In an interview with Interview Magazine, Lopez opened up about the mental and emotional toll the divorce took on her. 'It almost took me out for good," she admitted, before adding, 'But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.'" The pop ballad reportedly explores the emotional devastation of a relationship that didn't survive—but also speaks to the strength and healing that followed.
Fans who heard the track described it as one of her most vulnerable works yet—raw, honest, and powerful. Lopez's ability to blend personal pain with musical storytelling is earning praise online, with many calling it a career-defining evolution.
However, not all aspects of the split have been resolved. The former couple's $60 million Los Angeles mansion, which they once called home, remains a sticking point. Marie Claire reports that the house was put on the market in 2024 but was recently pulled, indicating ongoing disagreements or complications behind the scenes.
While the world speculates about what led to the high-profile divorce, Lopez is choosing to speak through her music.

Olivia Rodrigo And Conan Gray Admit To Giving Each Other ‘Bad' Music Advice
Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray open up about their close friendship, musical misjudgments, and how their support and occasional poor advice shaped some of their biggest hits. Pop stars Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray might have undeniable chemistry, but their track record as each other's musical advisors isn't perfect. Wondering why? The long-time friends recently sat for an interview with an entertainment news portal, where they revealed that they've given each other surprisingly bad advice about which songs to release as singles. They also stated that they almost deterred each other from releasing hit songs as singles. In a recent conversation with Interview Magazine, the 22-year-old Rodrigo recalled telling Gray that 'Memories', which became the biggest hit off his Superache album, wasn't his strongest. The 26-year-old singer Conan Gray returned the favour by doubting 'Vampire' as Rodrigo's lead single from Guts, despite it going on to become a smash success. 'We notoriously give each other bad advice sometimes about samples. On Superache, you played me 'Memories', which turned out to be the biggest hit on the album. Everyone loved it. And I remember hearing it for the first time and being like, 'I just think you have better songs'," Rodrigo admitted. Likewise, Gray thought that 'Vampire' wasn't her strongest when Rodrigo was gearing up to release Guts. 'When I played you Guts, I played you 'Vampire', and I was like, 'Isn't this good?' And he's like, 'Not for a first single," the singer recalled. 'We're notoriously wrong about each other's songs. 'We're just too close to it and can't see the forest for the trees," Rodrigo admitted. Despite their flawed instincts, the pair remain close and supportive. Olivia Rodrigo's family is a Conan fan Though they may not have had the best judgment for each other, Gray revealed that Rodrigo's mom was always a fan of 'Vodka Cranberry'. In the same interview, she shared that Gray has a major fan in her mom. 'My mom loved it. My mom's such a huge Conan fan. My whole family, actually. They travel miles to see you in concert," she revealed. Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Grey's bond The duo first crossed paths five years ago through a misunderstanding. Gray ghosted Rodrigo after a text invite for a 'COVID walk", mistaking her for another Olivia from his hometown in Texas. Fortunately, producer Dan Nigro helped set things straight with a dinner outing, and since then, the singer-songwriters have shared a strong bond, performing together, dancing on each other's TikToks and attending events like the Met Gala side by side.
