Jennifer Lopez doesn’t need a man to make her happy.
The Office Romance star, 56, said she’s happily single and in no rush to get into a new relationship following her divorce from Ben Affleck in 2025.
“You’re single right now,” comedian Jimmy Kimmel noted to the actress, who was a guest on the Wednesday, May 27, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Lopez quipped in response, “I am. I should have done it sooner! I’ve been doing it all wrong. Trust me.”
What Jennifer Lopez Has Said About Love and Romance
Kimmel, 58, then floated the idea that Lopez find love on reality television, asking, “Would you consider becoming the next Bachelorette here on ABC?”
“No. Are you crazy?” Lopez emphatically responded. “I’m not doing anything to ruin how I feel right now. It’s fantastic. I love it.”
“It seems hard for you to meet people otherwise,” Kimmel reasoned. However, Lopez replied, “I’ll meet somebody somewhere one day, if they’re good enough.”
Kimmel went on, “I think it would be great if we put you in a house with 25 weirdos. Wouldn’t it be funny even just as a prank that they haven’t met the Bachelorette yet, and then you walk out and they all s*** their pants simultaneously?”

“I can’t. I could never. I can’t do it,” Lopez responded, adding, “I’m good right now. I’m happy.”
Lopez finalized her divorce from longtime love Affleck, 53, in January 2025. She initially filed for divorce in August 2024, two years after they tied the knot.
Lopez and Affleck were initially engaged in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of the movie Gigli. They were due to get married in September 2003 but called off the wedding days before it was set to take place. They later split in January 2004.
The former couple reconnected in 2021 and got engaged for a second time in April 2022. They tied the knot in Las Vegas in July that year and held a second wedding ceremony in Georiga the following month.

In March, Lopez reflected on pushing the reset button following her fourth divorce. (She was previously married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Criss Judd from 2001 to 2003 and Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014.)
“I took a year off,” Lopez said during an appearance on Good Morning America, explaining that she had to “stop everything” after splitting from Affleck. “I canceled tours. I decided to just be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything. Just sit.”
“I was just at a point where I was like, ‘What is going on with you?’” she continued. “I couldn’t blame anybody else because I don’t think that’s where the lesson is. And so, I really needed to figure myself out.”
Lopez added, “I feel like for the first time in my life, I’m free. I’m on my own. It feels really good. I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s, and even before that I always had a boyfriend. There was always someone in my life and so many other things that I felt were out of my control. I’ve gotten to the point where I really trust myself and appreciate myself a little bit more.”
