Jennifer Lopez is ready to start dating again, just two months after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. “Jennifer Lopez is ready to put herself out there again, and she hasn’t given up on finding love,” an insider told Page Six. Her friends have encouraged her to move forward. As a result, she now feels open to meeting someone new, especially after Affleck started spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Lopez May Date Someone Outside Hollywood
Affleck shares three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—with Garner. Meanwhile, Garner has been in a long-term relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018.
Lopez, on the other hand, is thinking about dating someone outside the entertainment industry. “Jennifer is considering dating somebody who isn’t in the public eye this time around, but she’s not limiting herself to any particular type,” the source said.
Divorce Finalized Amid Affleck and Garner Rumors
Lopez became legally single last month. The court finalized her divorce from Affleck on January 6, but it ruled that the divorce would take effect on February 21, exactly six months after she filed on their second wedding anniversary.
Meanwhile, Affleck and Garner recently sparked rumors of a possible reunion. Earlier this month, they were seen hugging during a paintball outing with their kids. As a result, many started speculating about their relationship. Body language expert Patti Wood told Radar Online, “His hug is not something you do with an ex.”
No Romantic Connection Between Lopez, Garner, and Affleck
Despite the growing speculation, sources insist Affleck has no romantic ties to either Lopez or Garner. “I’d say they’re both relieved to be done with him,” an insider told Page Six.
At the same time, another source revealed that Affleck has been reaching out to Lopez again. “Ben’s an emotional roller coaster,” the source explained. “He’s even been reaching out to Jennifer [Lopez] again recently.”
Additionally, the source dismissed rumors of tension between Lopez and Garner. “The two Jennifers are actually friends. They bonded over co-parenting their kids. I don’t know why the press feels they have to pit women against each other,” the source added.
