In a new interview with Interview Magazine, the 55-year-old star described the painful aftermath of their second breakup as one of the most challenging experiences of her life.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024\u2014marking two years to the day since their wedding\u2014after the couple\u2019s split in April. This marked the second time Lopez and Affleck had parted ways, following their first breakup in 2004. Despite the emotional turmoil, Lopez said she does not regret their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no regrets\u2014not one second,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean it didn\u2019t almost take me out for good. It almost did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the experience, Lopez expressed gratitude for the lessons learned, albeit through a difficult process. \u201cBut now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, \u2018Fuck, that is exactly what I needed.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, God. I\u2019m sorry it took me so long. I\u2019m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times,\u2019\u201d she shared, adding, \u201cI should have learned it two or three times ago. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don\u2019t have to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lopez and Affleck\u2019s second attempt at marriage followed a highly publicized rekindling of their relationship, nearly two decades after their first engagement ended. However, the pressures of their relationship ultimately led to their second split, marking the end of a high-profile Hollywood romance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has spoken candidly about the emotional toll her recent divorce from Ben Affleck has taken on her, revealing that the breakup nearly pushed her to the brink.
