The split between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has become one of the most talked-about stories of 2024. After rekindling their romance and marrying in 2022, the couple faced significant differences that led Lopez to file for divorce in Los Angeles last August.
As 2025 begins, Lopez is ready to embrace new opportunities, while Affleck immerses himself in his projects. Speculation about Lopez’s future romantic interests has intensified, particularly following recent photos that hint at a potential new connection.
Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner?
Just before New Year’s, Lopez was seen spending time with Kevin Costner, a prominent actor famous for films like “Field of Dreams” and the series “Yellowstone“. Both stars are recently divorced, and their meeting in Aspen, Colorado might have been a chance for Costner to gauge if a relationship with Lopez could be a possibility.
At age 70, Costner offers more life experience than the 55-year-old Lopez, who is keen on dating a high-profile celebrity. Additionally, his familiarity with Affleck could be comforting for her.
An informant mentioned, “Kevin embodies many qualities that Jenny is interested in for her next partner. He is highly esteemed in the industry, and having him by her side would definitely send a positive message.” There’s an added advantage since Affleck has spoken highly of Costner in the past.
Additionally, Costner’s status and impressive $250 million net worth are attractive to Lopez, especially since he surpasses Affleck in financial success—who recently sought solace with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner amid wildfires in Los Angeles.
The insider added, “Dating Kevin would undoubtedly bring considerable attention to her. He’s a Hollywood icon, which would enhance her public image. Plus, he is a true gentleman who enjoys treating his dates to luxurious experiences, which certainly aligns with what she enjoys.”
However, there won’t be any quick wedding plans or big decisions from Lopez post-divorce. If there’s a budding romance between her and Costner, they’re still in the early stages of getting to know each other, and there is a sense of “excitement” regarding the future.
According to the source, “J.Lo isn’t rushing into anything right now, but she appears to be genuinely enthusiastic about the direction it might take. Even if they only develop a friendship, it’s still a significant boost to her ego to have him showing her affection.”
