Jennifer Lopez’s love don’t cost a thing, but a man must be willing to put in the work to get her attention.
The Office Romance star, 56, was quizzed about her love life during a Monday, June 8, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, revealing that she isn’t one for social media communication.
“Do you check your DMs, Jennifer?” host Andy Cohen asked her, to which Lopez emphatically replied, “No.”
Cohen, 58, pressed further, “What if some amazing Spanish soccer player DMs you?”
“I think they would be able to find me, no? If you really wanted to find me, you could find me,” Lopez shared.
Cohen responded, “[But] not through Instagram…”
Lopez said, “You’re not going to find me through Instagram or sliding into my DMs. You have to make more of an effort than that.”
The “Dance Again” singer has been single since her split from ex-husband Ben Affleck in 2024. The couple’s whirlwind romance first began in 2002 when they met on the set of the movie Gigli. They quickly got engaged but called off their September 2003 wedding just days before it was set to take place and eventually split up in January 2004.
The word “Bennifer” might include flashbacks to frosted lip gloss and butterfly clips, but everything comes back in style eventually. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got back together nearly 20 years after their romance first took the world by storm. The pair first connected in 2002 on the set of the ill-fated Gigli. The movie […]
Fast forward to 2021 and the exes reunited, marrying in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by an intimate ceremony in Georgia in August that year.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, 53, in August 2024, and the marriage was officially dissolved in January 2025.
During a May appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Lopez said she was happy flying solo for the time being.
“You’re single right now,” host Jimmy Kimmel noted, prompting Lopez to reply, “I am. I should have done it sooner! I’ve been doing it all wrong. Trust me.”
“I’m not doing anything to ruin how I feel right now. It’s fantastic. I love it,” she said of being single.
In March, the actress and singer reflected on her split from Affleck during an appearance on Good Morning America.
“I took a year off,” Lopez said, explaining that she had to “stop everything” after the separation. “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.”
