Almost a year after her separation from Ben Affleck, it seems like Jennifer Lopez is ready to open her heart to romance once again. The 55-year-old actress and music icon, who finalized her divorce from Affleck at the start of 2025, has had the support of her family and friends, focusing on her professional career with a new Netflix project on the line and moving forward with her life.

Now, JLo is reportedly ready to embrace new beginnings and possibly find love again. “Jennifer wants to be in love again,” a source told the Daily Mail, explaining that she has been taking time for herself, focusing on healing and spending time with her loved ones, but now she’s ready to find someone who makes her feel "special.”

"He’s even been reaching out to Jennifer [Lopez] again recently," a source said to Page Six.
