Jennifer Lopez is opening up about life post-divorce, and if you thought she made breakups look easy, well, it wasn’t.
Speaking to Nikki Glaser for Interview, Lopez shared that sheâs had a hard time learning how to be single and how to be happy on her own. Because, as Ru Paul says, if you canât love yourself, how the hell are you going to love anybody else?

âYou have to be complete, if you want something thatâs more complete. You have to be good on your own,â Lopez said. âI thought I learned that, but I didnât. And then, this summer, I had to be like, âI need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.ââ When Glaser asked if that was hard, Lopez didnât hold back.
âYes, itâs fucking hard!â She continued, âBeing in a relationship doesnât define me. I canât be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself. I used to say Iâm a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and itâs just like, âNo, Iâm actually good.ââ
Jennifer Lopez officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, exactly two years after their wedding celebration in Georgia, and 20 years after calling off their first engagement in 2004.
