Why Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are ‘Working Their Hearts Out’

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially ended their marriage four months ago and are reportedly “working” away the “pain” of their divorce.

The singer is preparing for a summer tour while Affleck is filming a new movie. Despite speculation, neither is currently dating.

Ben Affleck, who recently broke his silence on their divorce, called their split “drama-free” and emphasized his respect for Jennifer Lopez.

A source who spoke to the Daily Mail revealed that while Affleck and Lopez are saddened by the end of their marriage, they seem to be channeling their energy into their careers rather than dwelling on heartbreak.

“They are both sad that the marriage did not work out,” the source said. “Instead of crying over it, however, they are working their hearts out. They love being busy with solid projects.”

They added that the former couple “wants more successes, more hit films, more awards.”

Lopez, who previously canceled her 2024 tour, is now gearing up for a limited run of summer performances.

She shared the news with fans on Instagram: “To all my international JLovers, I’ll be doing a few select show dates over the summer.”

Lopez added, “I can’t wait to get back out there to see all of you. It’s been too long. It’s gonna be an amazing summer #JLoLiveIn2025. Stay tuned for more and visit @onthejlo for local venue ticketing information this week @briannalcapozzi @louispalacios.”

Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted on the set of his latest project, “Animals,” filming a scene in a Los Angeles river.

Despite recent speculation, sources say neither Lopez nor Affleck is currently dating, although Lopez raised eyebrows after being seen getting close with “Office Romance” co-star Brett Goldstein.

Meanwhile, in a recent press interview, Affleck admitted that his flirting abilities might need some improvement, joking about his character’s awkwardness in “The Accountant 2.”

The actor reflected on how his character, Christian Wolff, struggles with dating and connecting with women, a sentiment he said many people can relate to.

Affleck explained, “Here’s a guy who’s trying to figure out — he wants to have a relationship with a woman, he’s trying to figure out how to do that, like, how to put yourself out there.”

“You know, he’s not comfortable extending himself. He doesn’t really know how to flirt, exactly. He’s not comfortable, like so many of us,” he added, per Page Six.

The actor went on to share that the early stages of dating can be difficult and filled with uncertainty: “You’re trying to gauge, ‘What does this signal mean? Is this person looking at me? Do they like me? Am I going to humiliate myself if I go over there?”

In an interview with GQ Magazine, Affleck got candid about his divorce from Lopez, calling it “drama-free” and emphasizing that the split wasn’t as sensational as some might expect.

The actor, who has always been private about his personal life, explained that fans’ “eyes would glaze over with boredom” if they knew all the details about their breakup.

He stated that it was “just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”

Affleck also made it clear that he has a deep “respect” for Lopez, noting that her documentary “Greatest Love Story Never Told” did not contribute to their separation.

While Affleck acknowledged that he and Lopez had different approaches to public life, he participated in the project to “love and support” her, even though he has always been more reserved in the spotlight.

He also rejected the notion that their separation was filled with scandal, insisting that no singular event or cause led to their divorce.

“It sounds more like a couple’s therapy session,” Affleck reflected, revealing that the truth of their split was less dramatic and more about navigating personal challenges.

He chose not to get into specifics, as discussing them would feel “embarrassing” and too “vulnerable.”
