Jennifer Lopez reflects on how she overcomes ‘hardships’ amid ongoing Ben Affleck divorce

Jennifer Lopez’s 2024 has been a year of learning.

The actress and singer, 55, who was spotted doing some holiday shopping on Friday, opened up about how she has been dealing with her struggles in an interview with British Vogue.

In a conversation with Judy Robles, whom she portrays in Unstoppable, the tireless performer spoke about her biggest challenges as a parent and as a newly single woman.

‘I think the way I overcome things is not by thinking of them as happening to me but happening for me and what is the lesson that needs to be learned in the moment,’ she told Robles, 52.

‘When I think of things that way and stay in a kind of a more positive mindset about it, it’s easier to kind of embrace it for the lesson that it is.’

The Billboard Icon Award winner, has been married four times, and filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, 52, in August after two years of marriage.

Lopez maintained when she runs into a problem, she tries to figure out, ‘What am I supposed to learn here?’

‘There are no coincidences,’ she claimed. ‘This is not happening, you know, just randomly. It’s happening for a reason.’

The entertainer concluded by stating she asks herself, “What can I learn and how can I come out the other side better, stronger, more knowledgeable and kind of evolve and grow from this point?”

In discussing how to deal with the aftermath of challenges and possible regret from past choices, Lopez said, ‘You have to kind of go, “that’s where I was at that time… there was a part of my soul that needed to grow,” and it grew in its perfect timing in its perfect way, when I was ready.

‘That’s part of the journey, I think, of life and of healing those parts of ourselves that we don’t understand sometimes.’

Lopez said she that being a mom helped her step into Robles’ shoes for the emotional role as a mother in an abusive marriage trying to help her son, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 with only one leg, achieve his dreams.

‘I think it was the basis of this role, the relationship between,’ Robles and her oldest Anthony.

‘Being a mom, and knowing what it is to want to give the best to your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and put forward your best face for them all the time, but also be struggling as a woman and in relationships and in life and with your own dreams… and what that feels like, I think, for me, was the biggest thing.’

The Emmy nominee shares her twins Emme and Max, 16, with her former husband, singer Marc Anthony, 56.

Lopez’s performance in Unstoppable received positive reviews, but she was overlooked when the Golden Globe Awards nominees were announced earlier this month.

Lopez will be seen next on the big screen when Kiss of the Spider Woman debuts at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The film is based on the novel and stage musical by the same name and the role gives the multi-hyphenate the chance to use not only her acting abilities, but her singing and dancing talents as well.
