J.Lo Shuts Down Bennifer 3.0 Rumors: Focuses on Career and Self-Love After Divorce

NEW YORK, NY – The internet buzzed with speculation after Jennifer Lopez and ex-husband Ben Affleck were spotted together at the New York City premiere of her new movie, “Kiss of the Spider Woman” on October 6. However, sources are now clarifying that despite the cozy photos and supportive words, a Bennifer reunion is not in the cards.

Lopez, who split from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage, is reportedly focused on her career and her 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. “There is nothing going on between them,” a source told Us Weekly.

The premiere, where Affleck was present as an executive producer of the film, fueled fan excitement, but those hopes have been dashed. Sources say Lopez is “thriving on her own” and has no interest in rekindling the romance.

“Jen feels more comfortable in her skin than ever,” one source revealed. “There’s a sense of independence and peace about her. She’s in a really good headspace right now.” Lopez views the divorce as a period of growth, telling CBS News in September that it ultimately became “the best thing that ever happened” to her.

Professionally, Lopez is riding high on the buzz surrounding “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” which may lead to an Oscar nod. She is also slated to star in a Netflix rom-com, “Office Romance,” alongside Brett Goldstein and is preparing for her Las Vegas residency, “Up All Night,” which begins in December.

Despite the split, sources emphasize that Lopez and Affleck remain on good terms, co-parenting their children (including Affleck’s three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner). A recent outing with Affleck’s son, Samuel, underscores their commitment to maintaining normalcy for their families.

However, Lopez made it clear during an October 15th interview with Howard Stern that her connection with exes ends after their relationship, joking, “Once I’m done, you’re dead to me.”

Ultimately, J.Lo is putting herself first. She is embracing single life, concentrating on her children, and career, according to sources, and prioritizing self-care and recognizing her self-worth during this chapter. “She’s learning that she’s stronger alone.”
