Jennifer Lopez Once Shared That She Keeps Ignoring Red Flags in Relationships
Jennifer Lopez hasn’t let previous break-ups hinder her search for true love. But she acknowledged that there were a few bad habits she could fall into when looking for a romantic partner.
Jennifer Lopez knows that she’s made some mistakes
Lopez has fallen in love more than a few times. Before reuniting with Ben Affleck, some of her most famous relationships were with Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, and Casper Smart. But experiencing great love has often led to Lopez dealing with a lot of heartache afterwards. And it’s been a process that’s inspired Lopez to look inward.
“Everybody has seen that I make mistakes. I rush in, I get swept up and I ignore the signs. But so many of us are guilty of these things,” she once told Elle (via Her). “Each time it goes wrong, it’s hard. I get really hurt but I have to let myself go: ‘What did I do? What can I learn?’ And as hard and as hurtful as things get, I want to believe I will be able to go one step higher. I’ve got to hope that if I keep going I will eventually get it right.”
Lopez showed that she wasn’t jaded about her past experiences, and still held out hope that her right person was waiting for her.
“I still believe in love. The nirvana man, he’s out there somewhere. But you just have to work at it. You have to work at everything,” she said.
Jennifer Lopez liking a post about relationship red flags fanned rumors about her and Ben Affleck’s break-up
For a while it seemed that Lopez had found the partner she was looking for all along in Ben Affleck. The pair famously started dating in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli. They were on their way to marriage before their engagement ended in 2004. Affleck suggested that the intense scrutiny they experienced from the media played a part in ending their relationship.
“I would say [media attention] was about 50 percent [of what destroyed our relationship],” Affleck said not too long ago on The Howard Stern Show. “The idea that people hate you and they hate you together and that being together is poison and ugly and toxic and the thing none of us want to be part of.”
But in hindsight, it turned out their break-up was just a temporary but long break. The two shocked many after they reunited in 2021, only to pick up where they left off and marry a year later.
However, recent reports have suggested that Lopez and Affleck may be heading for another final break up this time. The speculation comes from the fact that Affleck and Lopez haven’t been seen together at certain events. It was alleged that The Accountant star moved out of his and Lopez’s home. And just recently, it was revealed that both Lopez and Affleck spent their 4th of July holiday apart.
These reports have inspired curious fans to snoop around on Lopez’s social media. There, they found that the Atlas star liked a post on Instagram from a well-known relationship coach.
“You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves. We can’t expect someone to see us when we can’t even see themselves. Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing & fostering it is a different story. After all, love is not a feeling, it’s action,” the liked post read according to E! News.
Many wondered if this was Lopez discreetly sharing her personal feelings towards her relationship with Affleck.
It remains to be seen if the celebrity couple is actually heading for a divorce. Only time will tell if both Lopez and Affleck have run into familiar red flags again.
