Lopez spoke out about her divorce, calling it 'sad' and 'scary'.

Lopez and Affleck made headlines in 2021 when they rekindled their relationship, nearly 17 years after they called off their original engagement and postponed their 2003 wedding.

While Affleck has chosen to remain silent about the divorce, Lopez recently spoke to Interview magazine, describing the situation as "sad" and "scary".

The beloved pop star, who chose not to name Affleck, claimed she is "not looking for anybody" right now and suggested that her ex did not embrace all of her flaws.

Lopez's August 20 divorce filing came after months of speculation that the A-list couple were on the rocks.

Despite the public nature of their separation, both Affleck and Lopez are navigating their personal challenges with as much grace and resilience as possible.
