Jennifer Lopez has embraced a significant transformation as she seeks to recover after initiating divorce proceedings from Ben Affleck, just two years post their marriage in 2022.
The couple, famously known as Bennifer, faced numerous challenges in their relationship throughout late 2023 and early 2024. Their separation was officially announced on August 20, following Lopez’s filing in Los Angeles, alongside the revelation that they had been apart since April.
Although there was a moment of potential reconciliation at the Beverly Hills Hotel in September, it appears their separation is definitive, as Affleck has relocated to Pacific Palisades. Notably, they spent their recent birthdays and anniversary apart.
In an effort to rekindle some feelings in her ex-husband, Lopez is now opting for eye-catching outfits and a fresh look, aiming to remind Batman star Affleck of what he is leaving behind after four years together.
A source shared with RadarOnline.com, “J Lo is doing what many divorcees experience: transforming themselves post-split.”
“With her wealth, she is committed to looking her best so that Ben understands what he is missing out on.”
Reportedly, Lopez has long desired eye surgery, but postponed it to prioritize her marriage and manage her hectic schedule, which included addressing her tour plans that fell through.
Now, with a net worth of around $400,000 from her extensive career in modeling, music, and acting, Lopez is choosing to undergo LASIK eye surgery to improve her vision to 20/20.
The source added, “Jen wants to abandon her glasses and contacts. She is seeking a fresh start and a new perspective on life.
“She believes it’s the perfect opportunity for a personal transformation that begins with seeing the world more clearly.”
Lopez embraces new goals
Following her split from Affleck, Lopez has expressed her intention to abandon minimal expectations for future partners, stating that “there are no limits” now as she embarks on a journey of personal growth.
This new phase includes focusing on mental health, self-reflection, and self-improvement after the breakup.
“I would advise constant introspection,” Lopez shared with Interview. “It’s all too common to place blame on others. To be whole, you must find completeness within yourself.
“To cultivate a fulfilling relationship, you must first be whole on your own. I thought I knew this, but I realized I needed time alone this summer to demonstrate to myself that I could do it.”
