Jennifer Lopez is clearly ready to move on from her past relationships and is unlikely to walk down the wedding aisle again anytime soon — she has made that abundantly clear.
During an unforgettable moment at her concert in Barcelona on Tuesday, July 15, the talented singer and actress had an amusing and candid response to a fan who proposed to her from the audience. The fan held up a sign that read, “J. Lo, marry me?” and Lopez, with a playful tone, read it aloud, clearly engaging with her audience.
With a humorous shake of her head and a dramatic throat-slash gesture, she quipped, “I think I’m done with that.” This light-hearted response resonated well with the crowd, showcasing her ability to connect with fans while also making her stance clear.
Lopez’s playful banter came roughly six months after she finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, following a marriage that lasted about two years. The couple had a tumultuous history, having been engaged nearly two decades ago before their wedding plans fell through in 2004. Their reunion in 2021 captivated fans and the media alike, but ultimately, it seems that marriage is no longer on her agenda.
Prior to her marriage with Affleck, the Marry Me star was previously wed to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998 and Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003. After her initial split from Affleck in 2004, Lopez transitioned into a new relationship, quickly marrying Marc Anthony, with whom she shares her beloved twins, Emme and Max. Her journey through love and relationships has been both public and personal, highlighting the complexities she has faced.
The New York native has expressed her desire to embrace singlehood following her second breakup from Affleck. In an interview with Interview magazine in October, she stated, “Now I’m excited, when you say you’re just going to be on your own.” This statement reflects her commitment to self-discovery and personal growth during this new chapter of her life.
“I’m not searching for anyone right now because, after everything I’ve experienced over the past 25 to 30 years — the various challenging situations I’ve navigated — I’m curious about what I can achieve on my own,” she elaborated. “What if I’m just free?” This sentiment captures her newfound liberation and independence, allowing her to redefine her narrative.
Ben Affleck, who has also reflected on their breakup, conveyed to GQ in March, “This is somebody I have a lot of respect for. I really hope that whatever you use doesn’t suggest that I have any negativity or judgment regarding that.” His comments indicate a mature understanding of their past relationship and a hopeful perspective on their future interactions.
Jennifer Lopez is set to continue her concert tour through mid-March, with performances lined up in various cities across Italy, Poland, Turkey, and other destinations in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Her latest musical project, This Is Me… Now, achieved a commendable peak at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2024, showcasing her enduring talent and relevance in the music industry.
