Although Jennifer Lopez has mastered dealing with negativity on social media during her extensive showbiz career, she admits that some comments can still sting. In a wide-ranging conversation with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine, Lopez, 55, detailed that difficult summer during which her very public divorce from Ben Affleck caused her “whole fuckin’ world to explode.”
Lopez said that she was not unaware of the ongoing conversation on the Internet about her personal life and how strangers had tried to place the blame on her breakup.
“I know everything that has been written and said about me, and all the speculations about who I am as a person, about who I am not. I found out a long time ago,” the Atlas actress said during the interview held on September 10.
The entertainer, who has been in the public eye for a long time and has seen everything there is to see, told Glaser that he has long learned the art of not taking everyone seriously on the World Wide Web and She actively tries to remind herself of this fact. She said, for Star, as long as her mother, father and friends know who she really is, anyone else’s opinion doesn’t matter.
Lopez, who is mother to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, explained that “to have a long career,” one has to “learn to deal with that part of the business.” He underlined that those who hate him just for the sake of hating him have no importance in his grand life as an artiste. What really matters to him as an entertainer is doing work that inspires him, whether it’s a huge commercial success or something that just touches a soul.
The artist expressed that anything that is not singing, dancing, acting, entertaining or creating has little or no meaning in her life, as they do not classify as her passion or something she is passionate about doing. He enjoys it.
Lopez shared a mantra during an interview with Interview magazine that has kept her afloat during tough times. It’s a line from Finding Nemo: “Keep swimming.”
For those who don’t know, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, after the couple spent most of the summer apart.

Bennifer got married twice in 2021 – once in Las Vegas and the second time at her gorgeous Georgia estate with the blessings of her extended family and friends. For those unaware, the two were engaged to be married in the early 2000s; However, citing intense media scrutiny of their personal life, they separated at that time.
In her divorce filing, Lopez listed April 26, 2024, as their separation date, while asking the judge to reinstate her maiden name, which she changed to Affleck after their marriage. Before their divorce can be finalized, the couple’s assets, including their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion, have yet to be divided.
