Following her recent divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly finding that Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors are keeping their distance. Insiders claim Lopez’s strong expectations and her complex relationship history are causing potential suitors to shy away. “She’s made it clear that if you want to date her, you’d better be ready to treat her like a queen and handle a lot of drama,” a source told Radar Online.
Lopez, who has been married four times and engaged six, is now publicly saying she’s taking a break from relationships. However, sources suggest her declaration may be more of a coping mechanism. “Jennifer’s saying she needs time away from men, but it’s also likely she’s aware that most men are wary,” the source added. “She’s trying to control the narrative to make it look like she’s the one choosing solitude, but not everyone buys it.”
Another insider hinted that it’s not only Affleck who feels relieved by the split. “It’s not just Ben; several of her exes feel like it’s easier to move on now,” they said.
Lopez and Affleck initially dated from 2002 to 2004 before reconnecting in 2021 and marrying in 2022. After a whirlwind romance and nearly two years of marriage, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, signaling the end of their rekindled love story.
