Jennifer Lopez Shares “Best Thing” to Happen Amid Ben Affleck Divorce
It helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow. Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her split from Ben Affleck. While speaking with CBS Sunday Morning on September 28th, the actress reflects on making her movie Kiss of the Spiderwoman during a time when she and her now ex-husband, who also serves as an executive producer on the film, were coming to the end of their marriage. When you were doing this, it was such a hard time in your in your personal life. How did you manage to to deal with that? Barely. Yeah, it was tough. It was a tough time. Yeah, it was a really tough time. The movie wouldn’t have been made if it wasn’t for him and Artist Equity. Is that right? Yeah, that is right cuz he was really I will always give him that credit. I told him this was the role I was born to play and I wanted to do it and he was like, “Okay.” And he helped make it happen. And Jennifer, who finalized her divorce from the actor in January after 2 years of marriage, goes on to share how making the film gave her an escape during quote not great times at home. It it was like the best and the worst of times in a way because it was every moment on set and every moment I was doing this role. I was so happy and then it was like back home it was not great and it was just like oh you know how do I reconcile this? And looking back now the singer says her split was one of the quote best things that’s ever happened to her. I have to say it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it changed me. It It didn’t change me. It helped me grow in a way that I needed to grow. Um become more self-aware. I’m a different person now than I was last year. [Music]

Look at Granny Jenny
Blah blah blah blah blah!
Did she marry Ben so she could work on a project? That is kind of what it sounds like.
No comment.
She is a talentless user. Always uses people then moves on. Prove me wrong.
Her statement implies that the divorce process has positively influenced her current well-being, and she acknowledges Ben's contribution to the film's production; despite any negative opinions, she remains a prominent figure.
Shes controlling the narrative.
Gurl at this big old age if you needed another divorce to grow – YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
She looks so pretty here
Phoney ๐Keep telling yourself these things, maybe some day you will believe it ๐
They'll be back together ๐
Serial dater and serial breakup ๐๐๐๐

LOL…shouldn't your twins be the best thing that ever happened to you…oh…and what about Alex…you said the same thing about him in that you were soulmates…jlow is sooo superficial…never thanks anyone…only loves herself….so she is the best thing that ever happened to her….HA!!!
Wow really . We all knowed it.๐ฎ
She an diddy should recanext.
Hmmm, she needed her umpteenth failed marriage to grow in her 50s. Two things that couldn't have helped, the Diddy trial, and Jlo endorsing alcohol when she is marriage to a man in sobriety.
Ben called her.. " a bottomless pit of need"… indeed this lady never just goes away ๐ซ
Yes Jennifer you don't need Ben. You so much better. Also get away from his kids. Its hard however do it you not finish.
The best thing ben did was to get rid of this psychopath jblo ๐
I don't waste my time or money on anything the jblo do ๐
How u too old too be growing g hun…he wasn't wit o bull s…t Leo Im Leo n we can be difficult
Why did she marry him ,she was with him,before the other Jennifer G
He really knows how to hurt Jennifers.
I feel like She's the problem
She say this after every break up
The best thing he ever did was get rid of her. She is a total narcissist and he just isnโt that way. She craves attention and he couldnโt care less.
She is like a broken record ๐๐๐
She says the same thing until her next husband"victim'
Soo she needed to marry and divorce Ben Affleck in order to grow ? ๐ค
And this was the best thing to happen to her ? Not her kids ?
Nobody expected her marriage's to work.
She knew what she was doing! Been there done that!
Pobre mujer, si el divorcio es lo mejor que le ha pasado, sรญ que la ha pasado mal.
Jennifer Lopez goes all in when it comes to love and her heart. That can be risky for most, I'm just stating my opinion. I feel if a person was in a relationship with someone in the past and it didn't workout, there's a ninety nine percent chance that it won't, the next go around. I wish Jennifer Lopez the best, life because it way too short. She has children so taking them into consideration is important, it's good parenting skills, to be mindful of them.
This woman always been and alpha male she very controlling the that why she divorces them!
Everyone here talking negatively about Jen. Ben is not all that innocent. Guy cheated on Jennifer Garner, and has problems of his own. He don't even know what he wants in life either. He knew who he was marrying into. When he married jlo.
She never lucky with men
Try dating a normal guy.
Jennifer was too controlling for a man like Ben Afflack. He is a real man and you simply can't control him.
