Jennifer Lopez Reveals How She Felt After Her Divorce From Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez opened up about her emotional journey following her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck during an intimate Los Angeles listening party on July 2, 2025. The superstar debuted six new songs for select fans, including a vulnerable ballad titled “Wreckage of You” that directly addresses her post-split healing process.
Attendees revealed Lopez wrote the empowering track just two weeks before the event, inspired by her personal growth after canceling her 2024 tour to focus on self-care. The lyrics “I’m stronger after the wreckage of you” reflect her resilience following the highly publicized divorce filed on their second wedding anniversary.
Fans described the emotional ballad as capturing Lopez’s journey from heartbreak to empowerment. While undecided about official release plans, she intends to perform the new material during her upcoming summer tour as part of her artistic expression.
The divorce proceedings revealed surprising details, including the lack of a prenuptial agreement and tense negotiations over their shared Beverly Hills property. Both stars have since moved into separate homes while maintaining mutual respect.
Lopez previously discussed her emotional growth in an October 2024 interview, emphasizing her realization that happiness must come from within rather than relationships. Affleck similarly reflected on their differences in a April 2025 GQ profile, acknowledging their contrasting approaches to privacy while affirming his continued support for Lopez.
Despite their high-profile split, both artists appear focused on new beginnings. Lopez’s raw new music marks a creative rebirth, while Affleck has returned to film projects. Their candid reflections suggest an amicable separation rooted in personal growth rather than conflict.
The listening party offered fans a rare glimpse into Lopez’s healing process, proving her ability to transform personal challenges into artistic inspiration as she enters this next chapter of her legendary career.
