Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce was finalised in January, less than six months after the former couple announced their separation. J-Lo officially filed paperwork to end their marriage last summer, notably on their second wedding anniversary, after months of speculation that they had broken up.
While Ben decided to remain quiet about their divorce, he did touch on their relationship in a profile interview for GQ in March. He opened up about feeling 'embarrassed' and 'vulnerable' discussing their separation, but stressed that 'there’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue'. J-Lo has opened up about the split in her own words during interviews, calling it 'lonely, unfamiliar, scary', but has now decided to use her challenging year as inspiration for new music.
