Jennifer Lopez is taking the blame for her divorce from Ben Affleck. During a recent conversation on the ‘Smartless’ podcast, the 56-year-old actress and singer reflected on her marriage to Affleck and how their divorce led her to make changes in the way she lives her life.

A Turning Point

Lopez said that recognizing you need to make changes in your life is a choice, and that she made that choice after her divorce from Affleck. She recalled thinking, ‘What is going on with you? Forget about everybody else. There’s nobody to blame here except yourself in a certain way.’ Lopez previously reflected on how her divorce changed her outlook on life, calling it ‘the best thing that ever happened to me’ during an interview with ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ in September 2025.

Lopez was previously married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2002, and Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014. She was also in high-profile relationships with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Casper Smart, and Alex Rodriguez.
