Jennifer Lopez opened her heart like never before about the impact her divorce from Ben Affleck had. At 56 years old, the singer and actress admitted that her life “fell apart” after the separation, a break that forced her to undergo the most transformative exercise of introspection of her existence.

The confessions occurred during his participation in the Smartless podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett.

"The person I am today is so different from the person I was just two years ago that it's crazy. Now I can look at my life, appreciate it for what it is and be really happy," declared the actress.

The performer of Puerto Rican origin acknowledged that, after decades of romantic failures - which included marriages with Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony - she used to blame others. However, her latest breakup led her to look within for answers.

"There was a moment when I felt like my life was exploding in my face. It was because of the decisions I made, but also because there were things that needed to change in me," he reflected.

To face this crisis, López made the drastic decision to cancel his concert tour. "I sat down and said to myself, 'You have to figure out what the hell is wrong with you. Forget about everyone else,'" he said.

The artist described her last five years as a “tumult” and the most recent two as a necessary healing process. He concluded by stating that discovering oneself is essential: “It is part of being human.”
