Jennifer Lopez opened up like never before in a heartfelt conversation with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine’s fall issue. It marked her first in-depth interview since her public split with Ben Affleck, and she didn’t hold back on what has been a life-changing few months.
Lopez detailed the difficulties she faced, including intense media scrutiny surrounding her personal life, the release of her latest album, and dealing with criticism online. “It felt like my whole world crumbled,” Lopez said, reflecting on the challenges she’s faced this year. Despite the setbacks, she viewed the turmoil as an opportunity to grow. “You’re either growing or you’re not, and I choose growth,” she remarked.
Lopez spoke openly about choosing solitude during this time, allowing herself to heal and rediscover her sense of happiness outside of relationships. “I’m okay on my own,” Lopez admitted, highlighting how this summer was about reconnecting with herself.
When it comes to public backlash, Lopez acknowledged that it’s still hard for her. “I’m not invincible. If I see something mean, it does hurt,” she said. However, Lopez remains focused on her inner circle and her own sense of identity.
She also shared more insight on her decision to cancel her tour, which came at a personal cost. “I needed to step back for myself and my kids,” she said, emphasizing that this period of self-care was essential for her mental health.
