At a recent European concert, Jennifer Lopez announced she is done with marriage, responding to a fan’s “J. Lo Marry Me” sign by saying she’s “tried that” several times. This declaration came during her Up All Night tour stop on July 15, after she spotted the sign in the crowd.
Addressing the fan, Lopez remarked, “I think I’m done with that,” according to footage captured by an attendee, before she shifted focus back to her performance in Bilbao, Spain.
Lopez officially ended her marriage to Ben Affleck in January 2025, concluding their two-year union. Their reconciliation had initially seemed promising, as the couple were once engaged in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance nearly 20 years later.
Over her career, Lopez has been married four times. She wed Ojani Noa in 1997, followed by choreographer Cris Judd in 2001, and singer Marc Anthony in 2004, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max. She was also engaged to baseball star Alex Rodriguez in 2017, though the two never married.
Lopez’s divorce filing from Affleck held symbolic meaning—she filed the paperwork on their second wedding anniversary in August 2024 without a lawyer. According to court documents, the pair had separated back on April 26, 2024, several months before public knowledge of the split.
In a March 2025 interview with GQ, Affleck described the end of their marriage as painful and private but emphasized that there was no major scandal behind it, painting their breakup as much more ordinary than many might have assumed.
Differences in how they handled attention reportedly shaped their relationship’s difficulties. Affleck described himself as more private than Lopez, who he acknowledged was better equipped for life in the spotlight. These differences were addressed in Lopez’s documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” which was released in February 2024.
Sources suggest their marital issues began soon after their August 2022 honeymoon at Lake Como, Italy, where Affleck was reportedly frustrated by constant paparazzi, even as Lopez was used to the intense media scrutiny of her celebrity status.
The divorce proceedings, finalized in January 2025, were notably smooth. Both Lopez and Affleck kept their individual earnings from the marriage, with neither paying spousal support. While no prenuptial agreement existed, the arrangement mirrored one in its financial separation.
Their $61 million Beverly Hills estate was a sticking point in the settlement, with details of the negotiation kept private. The home was put on the market during their split. Lopez also agreed to stop using Affleck’s surname after the divorce.
Since parting ways, Lopez has described enjoying a “free” and “happy” summer. In May 2025, she told People magazine that her life felt positive and healthy, expressing enthusiasm about entertaining her fans with more music and performances.
She candidly discussed the challenge of supporting her children through the divorce, assuring her twins that she would emerge from the hardship stronger, and expressed pride in guiding them through such a difficult time.
Throughout their marriage, Lopez’s work—including her album “This is Me… Now” and its companion documentary—focused on her relationship with Affleck. Despite this, both the album and her planned tour faced commercial struggles, leading her to cancel the tour in June 2024 amid rumors of marital strife.
Having now sworn off marriage, Lopez is concentrating on her career and family. She is set to headline WorldPride in Washington, D.C., and spends considerable time with her children, noting their steadfast support during this transition.
Lopez’s recent admission marks a significant change for her, as she has long been seen as a believer in love despite numerous setbacks. Her openness on stage points to a new phase centered on personal independence rather than new romances.
Reportedly, Lopez and Affleck stopped communicating entirely by August 2024, which made the divorce proceedings more complicated than first expected. Their lack of contact ended hopes for what insiders called a “quickie divorce,” requiring business managers to take the lead on settling their affairs.
