American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has spoken about her second breakup with ex-husband Ben Affleck, following their most recent split in April.
The 55-year-old filed for divorce on August 20, coinciding with what would have been their two-year wedding anniversary.
This marks the couple’s second attempt at marriage, after their first breakup in 2004.
In a recent cover story for Interview Magazine, Lopez described the emotional toll the divorce took on her, admitting it almost “took her out for good,” but she holds no regrets about the marriage.
Reflecting on the experience, Lopez stated, “Not one second. That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did.”
The singer also revealed her realization after enduring repeated heartbreak.
“But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘That is exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times.’”
