Long before her second marriage to Ben Affleck dissolved, Lopez began reevaluating her history. In a 2018 conversation with Vogue, she admitted to a previous habit of blaming partners for relationship failures. That perspective shifted as she identified recurring patterns and unresolved hurt. She later underscored this commitment to herself after her divorce from Marc Anthony, wearing a ring inscribed with the words "I LOVE ME" as a reminder to prioritize her own worth above the approval of others.
While her 2021 reunion with Affleck briefly revived her public belief in lasting romance, the subsequent divorce in 2024 sparked a deeper period of introspection. During a 2024 interview with Nikki Glaser, Lopez conceded that she had not yet mastered the art of being happy alone, despite previous assumptions. By the time she appeared on The Howard Stern Show in 2025, her assessment had grown more candid. When asked if she had ever felt truly loved, she answered no, suggesting that while she was capable of deep affection, those she chose were not always capable of reciprocating it. Today, Lopez maintains that dating is no longer a priority, describing the past two years as a necessary phase of healing rather than a search for a new partner.
