Jennifer Lopez is entering 2026 with a new perspective on love following her high-profile divorce from Ben Affleck.

The superstar recently opened up about what she is looking for in a future partner—and what she will no longer tolerate. After four divorces, Lopez says her primary “dealbreaker” is a lack of self-awareness. She noted that signing the divorce papers was “the best thing” for her personal growth.

Choosing self-love

“I am not the same person I was last year,” Lopez explained. She emphasized that integrity and empathy are now non-negotiable qualities. While she credited Affleck for his work on their film production, she admitted that the “summer of lessons” helped her embrace her independence.

Mixed reactions

The transformation has sparked a divide among followers. While many gushed over her “creative and iconic” look, others expressed concern that the pre-teen is looking “too grown” for her age. Regardless of the feedback, North seemed thrilled with her “vampire era” makeover.
