Jennifer Lopez is moving forward after her divorce from Ben Affleck, and it seems she’s channeling her emotions into her upcoming music. While their relationship was once a significant part of her life, sources reveal that her next album will shift focus from their past love story to themes of personal empowerment and resilience.
Reports suggest that Lopez, who finalized her divorce with Affleck in August 2024, is crafting a powerful comeback album. Rather than revisiting their love affair, she’s drawing inspiration from her own experiences, emphasizing strength and self-discovery. A major tour is also planned for 2026, signaling her commitment to reclaiming the spotlight.
Though their relationship appears to remain amicable for the sake of their children, the singer seems to be distancing her new project from her ex-husband. The Daily Mail suggests that Lopez may inadvertently “exact the ultimate revenge” on Affleck by leaving him out of her upcoming album entirely, marking a significant departure from her past work.
Lopez’s previous album This Is Me… featured a reflection on her romantic history, including her relationship with Affleck, with lyrics inspired by his love letters. However, her new material will reportedly center on songs of perseverance and courage, with no trace of her former husband.
Despite the speculation, sources close to Lopez have denied any intention of revenge. Instead, she is said to be focused on moving forward and reconnecting with her fans, with a focus on flourishing post-divorce. Lopez is reportedly in a “great place” and is eager to re-establish herself as a powerful force in the entertainment world.
In addition to the album, Lopez is planning a highly anticipated tour in 2026, after having to postpone her summer 2024 engagements due to her breakup. Fans can expect a fresh, empowering sound from Lopez as she embarks on this new chapter.
