Jennifer Lopez Shares Her Candid Response to Marriage Talk After Ben Affleck Split

After four marriages, Jennifer Lopez is taking a different view on the institution. The 55-year-old superstar had a cute, but candid, response to a fan who held up a sign reading, 'J. Lo, marry me?' She was onstage performing at one of her Up All Night tour dates in Europe when a concertgoer captured the iconic footage. More from SheKnows Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O'Connell's 18-Year Marriage Comes With This Totally Unexpected Money Rule The video, posted on X on July 16, revealed her hilarious response. 'I think I'm done with that,' she said while laughing and making a 'never again' gesture. 'I've tried that a few times. Oh, anyway…' You can't fault her for having that reaction. After her divorce from Affleck, which was finalized in January, Lopez is ready for a reset, and her tour is a big part of that. She also has a star-making role in Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is set to make a major award-show run in the fall. Let's just say, isn't thinking about her exes right now. Lopez's first marriage was to Ojani Noa, which lasted from 1997 to 1998. She followed up that short-lived union by marrying backup dancer and choreographer Cris Judd in 2001 — they divorced in 2003. She settled down with singer Marc Anthony in 2004, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Max and Emme. After 10 years of marriage, they called it quits in 2014. Still, her headline-generating reunion with Affleck might have been the one that broke her heart. They wed in 2022 after their first engagement went kaput in 2004. By spring 2024, they were done, even though their former $68 million estate hasn't found a buyer after over a year on the market. They recently pulled the listing, per Lopez described her 2004 split from Affleck to Today in 2014 as her 'first big heartbreak.' The former duo probably thought 18 years apart and a little self-reflection would be the key to a successful reconciliation.

Travel: A 2-day itinerary for your getaway to Mallorca in Spain

Hospitality, at its core, allows our walls to drop. It creates a space where the self can step forward unmasked; the person behind the performance. I quickly learned what that feels like at Jumeirah Mallorca, in Spain. It expressed itself in golden-hour light, in stillness, and in intuitive gestures. The Goldilocks effect: a balance between attentiveness and calm. On reflection, I arrived needing a reset. (Don't we all?) And what I received was the kind that seeps into your nervous system. A rest from pace, noise, and performance. And don't get me started on the team. I must have spoken to a dozen of them: Nicky, Ruben, Guillermo, Luis, Carla, Annie. I gained so many intangible gifts in my short time with them. Nicky reminded me that it's possible to balance island chill with ambition and grace. Ruben and Guillermo stood quietly by as I tried to weave my (still-broken) thoughts together over my final sunset. Carla and Annie were nothing but charming from the moment I arrived. And Luis sent me home with an incredibly auspicious gift. A quiet encouragement. The kind that says, 'Keep going. You're on your way.' On the first night, I had one of the most extraordinary vegetarian meals I've ever tasted — vibrant, deeply satisfying and perfectly balanced. The standout? A vegan ceviche so delicate and flavourful I still think about it. And as if the evening wasn't magical enough, I found myself seated beside a real-life Pocahontas (of the Mallorcan male variety). And I'm one who hadn't even seen the film. But as I picked his brain over dinner, he spoke to me of ancient traditions, sacred trees, and the island's layered wisdom. I was utterly immersed. Despite the hotel's beauty and barefoot elegance, this was no 'sit by the pool and lounge' sort of trip. Annie, with her effortless charm and contagious energy, was determined for us to see more. And I'm so glad she was. We ventured to Viti Vinci, where scent becomes philosophy, and watched as perfumes were composed like symphonies: layered, subtle, unforgettable. We explored Herodian Art, a space that Katharina made to feel more like a sanctuary than a showroom, where ancient craftsmanship met modern expression with reverence. And at SONMO, short for Son Moragues, we witnessed first-hand the genius of regenerative agriculture that produced the olive oil on my plate. I left with a deeper appreciation for the slow, sacred work of the land. Each of these initiatives works closely with the hotel and reflects its ethos: to collaborate with Mallorca's creatives and stewards, and to help regenerate the very island that welcomes its guests. Almost becoming a presence in its own right, the spirit of hospitality danced through every smile, every conversation, every moment of silence.

Why the 'Midlife Crisis' Is Just a Moment for Reinvention

A midlife crisis should not define you. Use it to make a change in your life and see where a pivot can take you. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The term "midlife crisis" has been around for decades and has a major branding problem. The word crisis has a negative connotation. We think of a breakdown, a lack of clarity or a downward spiral. Sure, maybe it's a bit of those things, but that's not accounting for the full story. Let's flip the script. What if, instead of seeing it as a crisis, we saw it as a rebrand? A pivot meant to redefine success and rediscover passions on your terms. We don't have to stay stuck. The world changes, we change and what once mattered might not hit the same anymore. That's okay. Growing pains come with growth. The real problem isn't the shift — it's ignoring it. It's staying on autopilot, chasing outdated goals just because they once made sense. That's when you find yourself staring at a promotion, a paycheck or a milestone and thinking… is this it? Related: Is It Time to Pivot Your Business? 3 Clear Signs You Shouldn't Ignore That feeling? It's not failure. It's a signal. It's your gut telling you it's time for a reset. That doesn't make it a full-blown crisis. Your "why" isn't static. Our purpose evolves. What drove us in our 20s might not cut it in our 40s. What inspired us last year might not hold weight today. I've always been set on honoring a gut feeling, but I'm also leaning to recalibrate. Some of the best products (and people) rebrand. They don't just tweak their logo or hair color—they reinvent themselves.

Taylor Swift mastered the art of evolution from a country artist to a record-breaking pop star and billionaire. Some of the biggest revelations come from the willingness to pivot. Why shouldn't we do the same in our own lives? If you're staring down a midlife "crisis," maybe it's not a breakdown — it's just time for your next great rebrand. Related: Why Post Malone's Personal Pivot is a Masterclass in Rebrands How do you rebrand the midlife crisis into a midlife breakthrough? It's about intentional reflection, honest questioning and trusting your gut. Let's break it down: Step 1: Reflect on peak moments Think back to times when you felt most alive or proud. Was it leading a team, mentoring others or building something from scratch? Those moments are breadcrumbs leading you back to what fuels you. Take note and adjust accordingly. Step 2: Ask yourself the hard questions Dig deeper. Ask yourself: Why am I doing this? What kind of impact do I want to have? Would I still pursue this if no one were watching? If your answers don't sit right, it's time to pivot. Step 3: Align your goals with your values Once you redefine your "why," make sure your goals reflect it. If your purpose is helping others grow, look for mentorship opportunities. If you thrive on creativity, start that passion project. Aligning your goals with what excites you ensures that your wins feel meaningful, not just impressive on paper. Step 4: Embrace flexibility Your purpose isn't set in stone. It's okay to pivot, outgrow old dreams or want something different. Give yourself permission to change course. Growth isn't about staying the same; it's about adapting with confidence.

That might be the most important check. Everything changes when you reframe your midlife shift as an opportunity instead of a crisis. Here's what happens when purpose leads the way: Clarity in decisions. No more overthinking. When you know your "why," choices become more apparent. If it aligns with your purpose, it's a yes. If it doesn't, it's a no. Trust your gut. No more overthinking. When you know your "why," choices become more apparent. If it aligns with your purpose, it's a yes. If it doesn't, it's a no.
