In an interview on SiriusXM’s “Howard Stern Show,” Lopez reflected on the emotional growth that followed the end of the marriage.
“When I got divorced this last time, it was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she explained.

In recent weeks, Lopez has offered a more reflective and grounded perspective on where she is in life.
Speaking with “Nightline,” she shared a sense of clarity and calm about this new chapter.
“I’m in my happy era,” Lopez said. “I think, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free; I’m on my own. And it feels really good.”
She noted that stepping back from work became an important part of her healing.
“I’ve gotten to the point where I really trust myself and appreciate myself a little bit more, instead of being so hard on myself and always trying to prove myself,” she shared.
Lopez also said she made a conscious decision to slow down and sit with her emotions after her marriage ended.
“I canceled tours and just decided to be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything – just sit,” she recalled.
With a renewed sense of confidence and self-understanding, Lopez now appears to be moving forward with intention, balancing her career with a deeper focus on personal growth and well-being.
