Reflecting on her high-profile romances, Lopez quipped that she rarely looks back once a relationship ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce I\u2019m done, you\u2019re dead to me,\u201d the 56-year-old joked, laughing before adding, \u201cI\u2019m going to get in trouble!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lopez, who\u2019s been famously private about certain aspects of her relationships, admitted that this was one reason she had avoided sitting down with Stern until now. \u201cThis is why I never wanted to come on here,\u201d she teased. \u201cI\u2019ll get in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, that didn\u2019t stop her from reflecting on her romantic past, which includes ex-husbands Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony &#8211; with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Emme and Max \u2014 as well as former fianc\u00e9 Alex Rodriguez and ex-husband Ben Affleck.<\/p>\n<p>Clarifying her comments, Lopez explained, \u201cI don\u2019t hold on, to be honest. Not dead to me, but definitely, it\u2019s over. I\u2019m going to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Jenny From the Block hitmaker added that navigating love under the spotlight has always been complicated. \u201cI live my life very out loud,\u201d she said. \u201cEven though I\u2019m in the public eye, I wanted to share my life with someone. I want someone to be there to share my big important moments on the red carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Jennifer and Ben Affleck officially ended their marriage in 2024, the two recently shared a warm reunion. The former couple appeared together at the October 6 New York City screening of her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman &#8211; which Affleck produced.<\/p>\n<p>And despite their split, there\u2019s clearly no bad blood between them. Speaking to E! News at the event, Affleck, 53, gushed about Lopez\u2019s talent and dedication to her craft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJennifer is incredible in this movie,\u201d he said. \u201cShe&#8217;s fabulous. It\u2019s an enormously difficult performance &#8211; singing, dancing, acting, and maintaining multiple tones. That\u2019s probably the maximum level of difficulty for any performer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Affleck continued, \u201cShe pulls it off with grace and aplomb. She\u2019s amazing, spectacular, and I\u2019m thrilled to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lopez also returned the compliment in a separate interview with Craig Melvin on Today, crediting Affleck for helping bring the project to life. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for Ben, the movie wouldn\u2019t have gotten made,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I will always give him that credit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lopez\u2019s comments have since gone viral, with fans both amused and intrigued by her \u201cdead to me\u201d remark. Many praised her honesty and ability to stay amicable with exes while keeping strong boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>As the Hustlers star continues promoting Kiss of the Spider Woman, it\u2019s clear that Lopez is focusing on her work and personal growth &#8211; not her past. Whether joking about former flames or expressing gratitude for their support, J.Lo proves she knows exactly how to balance humor, confidence, and heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Lopez is keeping it real about her love life &#8211;
