Jennifer Lopez is clear about her split with Ben – “Everything happens for a reason”
Jennifer Lopez shared how she handles life’s challenges, offering honest insights into her mindset while navigating her divorce from Ben Affleck.
She didn’t hesitate to share her philosophy on overcoming difficulties.
“I don’t see things as happening to me, but rather for me,” Lopez explained in an interview with British Vogue about her upcoming film, Unstoppable. “What is the lesson I need to learn in this moment?”
Lopez, who has faced personal and professional challenges throughout her life, emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. “When I look at things this way and stay in a more positive mindset, it becomes easier to accept what’s happening,” she said.
She described difficulties as opportunities for growth.
“There are no coincidences. This isn’t happening randomly, you know. It’s happening for a reason,” she added.
The Lessons Learned from Love and Loss
Lopez recently reflected on her relationship with Affleck and the lessons it taught her. Speaking with Interview magazine, she admitted that her past experiences helped her realize she is “capable of joy and happiness” on her own.
“I think to myself… ‘Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry You had to show me so many times. I should have learned this sooner,’” Jennifer remarked.
The couple’s history dates back to 2002, when they met on the set of a film. Their engagement and relationship quickly became tabloid fodder, ultimately leading to their split in 2004. Nearly two decades later, the pair rekindled their romance and married in 2022.
By mid-2024, reports of trouble in their marriage began to surface. Lopez officially filed for divorce in August, listing the separation date as April 26. Despite their split, Lopez and Affleck remain on good terms.
