Jennifer Lopez Shares Why She Believes Breakups Can Be Positive

Jennifer Lopez says heartbreak has helped her grow and believes breakups should not be seen as failures.

Speaking on the latest episode of SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma, Lopez said some of her biggest emotional and personal growth has come after difficult endings in both relationships and her career. She said heartbreak forces people to reflect, learn, and make changes.

Lopez, who separated from Ben Affleck in April 2024 after 21 months of marriage, argued that people who never experience heartbreak may miss opportunities to grow. She also suggested that breakups should be celebrated because they often reflect a difficult but necessary decision.

The singer and actress also addressed recent rumors linking her to Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein, saying during an appearance on Today that she is "not dating."

Asked about her ideal partner, Lopez said appearance is not a priority. "It doesn't matter. I like the person inside," she said.
