Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finalized their divorce in 2025.
The Hustlers actress' post comes a year after her divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized. The Oscar winner, 53, married Lopez in 2022 and they split in 2024.
Lopez candidly opened up on Good Morning America this past March about being single and how her divorce impacted her.
“I had to stop everything and I took a year off. I canceled tours,” she said about putting a pause on her life after her breakup.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first dated from 2002 until 2004.
“I just decided to be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything — just sit," she said, referring to her May 2024 cancelation of her This Is Me... Live tour.
“I was just at a point where I was like, ‘What is going on with you?’ Because I couldn’t blame anybody else because I don’t think that that’s where the lesson is. And so I really wanted to figure myself out," the "On the Floor" crooner noted.

Jennifer Lopez revealed earlier this year she's single.
When asked if she's dating someone new at the moment, Lopez laughed and said she wasn't. “It’s so nice right now. I’m so happy,” The Back-Up Plan actress said. “It’s the best. I just feel really good right now.”
“And that was the scary thing for me when I was younger. Like, I didn’t know if I could do that,” Lopez said about being single. “I was always afraid to do that.”
She also added she feels "healthy" and "grateful" as she's "surrounded by love."
“I am a mom of graduates this year who are going to college,” she added of her 18-year-old twins, Maximilian "Max" David and Emme Maribel. “I am a showgirl, and an entertainer and an actor. An entrepreneur. And I am happy. I am happy," Lopez gushed.
