According to a source speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Lopez and ex-husband Affleck have settled into a peaceful post-divorce rhythm. The insider described their dynamic as "peaceful and cordial", adding that they "will always have love for each other".

What did JLo say about her love life in 2026?

In an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lopez was asked, "Do you feel like your next great love is ahead of you?" After a moment of hesitation, she replied, "My greatest love is ahead of me 100 per cent. Without a doubt."

She also confirmed she won't find love via social media, telling Cohen: "You're not going to find me through Instagram or slide into my DMs. … You have to make more of an effort."

JLo and Brett Goldstein — just co-stars?

Lopez and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein were confronted about rumours of a fling, shutting down speculation in a joint appearance on the Today show. Ted Lasso veterans Goldstein and Joe Kelly wrote the Netflix rom-com Office Romance specifically for Lopez and said they wouldn't make it unless she was in it.

In the film, Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, a CEO at a major airline, who falls in love with new company lawyer Daniel Blanchflower (Goldstein). Their secret affair puts both at risk of destroying their careers when they "stop playing by the rules and start following their hearts."

The film is about the difficulty of revealing yourself to someone you love and how, if you allow yourself to be vulnerable, then maybe that will bring you closer.

JLo's full relationship and marriage timeline

Lopez has been married four times: to Ojani Noa (1997–1998), Cris Judd (2001–2003), Marc Anthony (2004–2014), and Ben Affleck (2022–2025).

David Cruz (1984–1994)

Lopez and David Cruz were high school sweethearts who were together for ten years, from 1984 to 1994. Despite going their separate ways, they shared a close bond.

Ojani Noa — first husband (1997–1998)

Lopez met her first husband, Ojani Noa, when he was working as a waiter at Cuban superstar Gloria Estefan's restaurant. The two married in 1997 but divorced less than a year later.

In 2007, Lopez won a lawsuit against Noa, keeping him from publishing a tell-all book about their time together. Then in 2009, she sued to prevent him from releasing a video recording from their honeymoon.

Sean "Diddy" Combs (1999–2001)

In 1999, Lopez began a relationship with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. The couple met during a music video production and dated until 2001. Their relationship endured the pressures of public scrutiny and a nightclub shooting incident in 1999, which brought major media attention.

Cris Judd — second husband (2001–2003)

Lopez met her second husband, Cris Judd, when he joined the crew for her "Love Don't Cost a Thing" music video. Their marriage lasted nine months.

Ben Affleck — first era (2002–2004)

Bennifer, the nickname given by the media to the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, began with a widely publicised 18-month romance from 2002 to 2004, during which they were engaged to be married.

Lopez dated Affleck after the two co-starred in Gigli and Jersey Girl. They got engaged in 2002, postponed their 2003 wedding with just a few days' notice, and eventually split in early 2004.

"Ben and I split up at the moment when I thought we were committing to each other forever. It was my first real heartbreak — it felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest.

Marc Anthony — third husband (2004–2014)

Lopez and the Grammy-winning singer, who had duetted on Lopez's debut album On the 6 in 1999, married in summer 2004. During their seven years together, the couple starred in a film (El Cantante), embarked on a joint tour, and in 2008 welcomed twins Max and Emme.

In 2011, amidst rumoured infidelity, Lopez and Anthony decided to separate. Their divorce was finalised in 2014. Marc Anthony remains JLo's longest marriage, a decade that also gave her her only biological children.

Casper Smart (2011–2016)

After her split from Marc Anthony, Lopez dated dancer Casper Smart, who was 18 years her junior. The couple started dating in late 2011 and went through many ups and downs, including a brief split in 2014.

The pair had an on-and-off relationship for several years before ending things for good in 2016 after Smart reportedly cheated on her. He notably choreographed many of her performances during their time together.

Alex Rodriguez — "A-Rod" (2017–2021)

Lopez and Alex Rodriguez met at a Yankees game in 2005, and she has claimed they felt "weird electricity". However, it wasn't until 2017 that the two would get together.

In 2019, the couple announced their engagement with photographs taken by the beach. The wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and in 2021, they announced they had broken up.

Ben Affleck — second era, fourth husband (2021–2025)

In May 2021, shortly after Lopez's split from Alex Rodriguez, she and Affleck sparked reunion rumours with a trip to Montana. They rekindled their romantic relationship in early 2021 and married in July 2022.

Determined to make it down the aisle, they were married twice — first in a drive-through wedding in Las Vegas attended by their children on both sides as witnesses.

Lopez filed for divorce after only two years, on 20 August 2024.
