Rumors have it that the Certified Lover is allegedly willing to “drop everything” for Lopez and could possibly be the man she needs as a rebound from Affleck.

According to the latest Lopez interviewdespite what fans say, it won’t occur soon after her world “explodes.”

“Sometimes I assumed I had it found out, and then life says, ‘We’ll send you one other thing and see for those who’ll fall for it.’ Let’s see for those who really learned this lesson. And I do not,” she said. “I understand it rather more deeply now, which doesn’t suggest I won’t make mistakes in the future, but again, when your whole house explodes, you stand there in ruins and ask, ‘How do I do that?’ I won’t let this ever occur again?”

Rumors of the former couple’s separation intensified once they put their Los Angeles home on the marketplace for $68 million in July. Around the same month, Lopez took a vacation without Affleck, who celebrated his birthday on July 24 later that month.

Lopez’s birthday is August 15, but a few days before the “Batman” star’s birthday, she hosted a “Bridgerton”-inspired celebration in the Hamptons.

Although she was surrounded by family, friends and family members, she said that since the split, life has felt “lonely, alien, scary, sad and desperate”. But he’s preparing for what’s next and what’s coming next.

“But when you sit with those feelings and say, ‘These things won’t kill me,’ it’s like I’m actually able to enjoy joy and happiness on my own. Being in a relationship doesn’t define me,” Lopez said. “I can’t look for happiness in other people. I have to be happy within myself.”

“I used to say I was a happy person, but I was still looking for someone to fulfill and I was like, ‘No, I’m actually good,’” she continued.

There’s no word on whether Ben Affleck is considering dating, but he’s having fun with his recent $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood, California, which he purchased after posting an ad about their home together.
