Jennifer Lopez has given marriage four tries to date, and at this point she knows she needs to shake things up. During a stop by the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show on Wednesday night (May 27), the singer/actress and star of the upcoming rom-com Office Romance admitted that her track record is not great and that she needs to make a change.
When Kimmel noted that Lopez — who was briefly married to actor/producer Ojani Noa from 1997-1998, dancer Cris Judd from 2001-2003, singer Marc Anthony from 2004-2014 and Ben Affleck from 2022-2025 — is currently single, JLo fessed up that she should have considered going solo way sooner.
“I’ve been doing it all wrong! I’ve been doing it all wrong, trust me,” said a laughing Lopez, who first began dating Affleck in 2002 and got engaged to the actor before breaking up and reconnecting in 2021, getting married the following year and then divorcing last year.
Considering her rocky romantic past, Kimmel wondered if Lopez might consider joining Bachelor Nation and taking a turn on his own network’s popular dating show The Bachelorette. “No, are you crazy?” she responded as the audience roared in approval at the idea. “I’m not doing anything to ruin who I feel right now. No, it’s fantastic, I love it.”
When Kimmel suggested her fame might make it hard for Lopez to find someone, she assured him that she will “meet somebody somewhere one day, if they’re good enough.” Sensing that Lopez’s no was set in stone, Bachelorette superfan Kimmel fantasized about a prank in which the singer walked on set and pretended to be the eligible bachelorette looking for love.
“No, I can’t. I can never. No, I can’t do it,” said Lopez. “I’m good right now.”
During their chat, Lopez also talked about being blindsided recently when her 2011 hit with Pitbull, “On the Floor,” returned to the Billboard charts thanks to a major viral moment in the Prime Video series Off Campus. I was like, ‘what?!’ It was like out of the blue,” she said of the song reentering the charts by debuting at No. 117 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 80 on the Global Excl. U.S. charts dated May 30.
Lopez plays a high-flying airline CEO who enforces strict anti-dating roles for all her employees in Office Romance, a plan that goes sideways when an attractive new lawyer played by Ted Lasso‘s Brett Goldstein enters the picture; the movie premieres on Netflix on June 5.
