Lopez began 2025 in the midst of a divorce, which was finalized in January, nearly 20 weeks after she filed for a dissolution of marriage on Aug. 20.
The Hustlers star filed for divorce exactly two years after her second wedding ceremony in Georgia, listing April 26, 2024 as the date of her and Affleck's separation.
The ceremony in Georgia, held in front of family and friends, took place a month after the pair married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022.

It was the second go-around for the exes, who, after ending their first engagement in 2004, rekindled their romance in 2021.
Following their split, Lopez shared in an October 2024 conversation with Interview magazine that she was looking forward to the single life after being in "different challenging situations" throughout the years.
"Now I’m excited, when you say you’re just going to be on your own," said Lopez. "Yes, I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f---ing do when it’s just me flying on my own ... what if I'm just free?"

On Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in October, Lopez shared that while she doesn't plan to use dating apps like Raya because she is "old-fashioned," she doesn't believe she'll have trouble meeting someone in the future.
Although she didn’t allude to specific past relationships while talking to Stern, Lopez said she had taken one lesson with her: "What I learned, it's not that I'm not lovable. It's that they're not capable."
