Jennifer Lopez Says She’s Never Been ‘Truly Loved’ in Candid Howard Stern Interview

She says intensive post-divorce therapy led to self-acceptance, prompting a decision to keep future relationships more private.

Overview

  • On SiriusXM, Lopez said past partners lacked the capacity to give the love she sought and acknowledged she didn’t love herself at the time.
  • She called her 2024 split from Ben Affleck “the best thing that ever happened,” outlining therapy, spiritual coaching and addiction education she pursued afterward.
  • Pressed on mutual, reciprocal love, she said she has only seen “glimpses,” and joked that once a relationship ends, an ex is “dead to me.”
  • She plans to keep any future dating out of the spotlight after years of public relationships and as a mother to 17-year-old twins.
  • Despite their divorce, Lopez and Affleck appeared together at the New York premiere of Kiss of the Spider Woman, which his company produced, and he publicly praised her performance.
