A source close to Jennifer Lopez reveals that the singer and actress is thriving one year after her split from Ben Affleck, focusing on herself, her career, and her healing journey.

August 21, 2025 — A year after officially filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is said to be in a stronger, healthier place, both personally and professionally. According to an insider, the 56-year-old superstar has “come a long way” since ending her high-profile marriage and is now fully embracing her independence.

Healing After a Public Split

The couple, whose rekindled romance once captivated fans, shocked Hollywood when Lopez filed for divorce in 2024. Their marriage had been under intense scrutiny, and sources at the time cited differences in lifestyle and priorities as reasons behind the breakup. Now, Lopez is described as “calmer, more grounded, and moving forward with confidence.”

Focus on Self and Career

Lopez has poured her energy into her music, film projects, and business ventures. From expanding her beauty brand to performing globally, she’s been reclaiming her narrative and showing fans she’s not defined by her past relationships. The source notes, “Jennifer has prioritized her happiness and her work. She’s in a very different headspace than she was last year.”

Support System and Positivity

Friends and family have played a crucial role in Lopez’s healing process. The star has leaned on her twins, Max and Emme, as well as her close circle of friends who have kept her grounded. According to the insider, Lopez has embraced positivity, self-care, and a future-focused mindset.

What’s Next for J.Lo?

Looking ahead, Lopez is set to release new music later this year and has multiple film projects in the works. She’s also focusing on philanthropic efforts, hoping to use her platform to inspire others going through personal challenges.

“Jennifer feels stronger than ever,” the source adds. “She knows what she wants, and she’s not looking back.”
