Jennifer Lopez Opens Up On Divorce From Ben Affleck: 'It Almost Took Me Out For Good'
Last week, Lopez hosted a private listening party in Los Angeles where she previewed tracks from her upcoming international tour.
Jennifer Lopez is finally breaking her silence on her emotional split from Ben Affleck—and she's channelling that heartbreak into her music.
According to Marie Claire, the couple's divorce was quietly finalised in January 2025, nearly two years after their lavish wedding. Lopez had filed for divorce the previous summer, making the timing even more heartbreaking—it fell close to their second wedding anniversary. But rather than shy away from it, the global superstar is turning the pain into art.
Last week, Lopez hosted a private listening party in Los Angeles where she previewed tracks from her upcoming international tour. One standout was a newly written track titled Wreckage of You, which she revealed had come to her just two weeks prior, while lying in bed after rehearsals.
In an interview with Interview Magazine, Lopez opened up about the mental and emotional toll the divorce took on her. 'It almost took me out for good," she admitted, before adding, 'But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.'" The pop ballad reportedly explores the emotional devastation of a relationship that didn't survive—but also speaks to the strength and healing that followed.
Fans who heard the track described it as one of her most vulnerable works yet—raw, honest, and powerful. Lopez's ability to blend personal pain with musical storytelling is earning praise online, with many calling it a career-defining evolution.
However, not all aspects of the split have been resolved. The former couple's $60 million Los Angeles mansion, which they once called home, remains a sticking point. Marie Claire reports that the house was put on the market in 2024 but was recently pulled, indicating ongoing disagreements or complications behind the scenes.
While the world speculates about what led to the high-profile divorce, Lopez is choosing to speak through her music.

Jennifer Lopez on divorce with Ben Affleck: "It almost took me out and…"
In an interview, the actress said recently, 'It almost took me out for good. 'But now, on the other side of it, I think, 'That's exactly what I needed.' read more Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially became divorced and single earlier this year in February. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge approved their divorce settlement on Jan. 6, and declared that it would take effect on Feb. 21, after California's required six months passed since Lopez filed to dissolve their two-year-old marriage.
