Bilbao, Spain — July 16, 2025
Pop icon Jennifer Lopez, 55, made headlines during her “Up All Night” European tour when she candidly told fans she’s “done” with marriage — a statement that reflects a major shift in her personal life.

While performing in Bilbao, Lopez responded to a fan holding a sign that read, “J Lo, marry me?” with a mix of humor and honesty: “I think I’m done with that. I’ve tried that a few times.” The moment, caught on video and widely shared on social media platforms like X, has sparked widespread discussion about the singer and actress’s evolving views on love and commitment.

Lopez’s remarks come less than a year after her fourth marriage, to actor Ben Affleck, ended in divorce. The couple—famously dubbed “Bennifer”—had remarried in 2022, following their rekindled romance in 2021, and officially finalized their split in January 2025. Their relationship, which initially began in the early 2000s, was one of the most followed celebrity romances of the past two decades.

Jennifer Lopez’s marriage history is notable: before Affleck, she was married to Ojani Noa (1997–1998), Cris Judd (2001–2003), and Marc Anthony (2004–2014), with whom she shares twins Emme and Max. She was also engaged to former baseball star Alex Rodriguez from 2019 to 2021.

According to insiders, Lopez’s decision to publicly declare she’s “done” with marriage echoes her personal journey toward growth and independence. A source close to her revealed that after Affleck showed no interest in reconciliation, she felt compelled to file for divorce despite feeling “disappointed and sad.” The timing of their split, around their second wedding anniversary, was viewed by some fans as a poignant symbolic gesture.

Her current tour has served not only as a musical comeback but as a platform for Lopez to reconnect with fans and demonstrate her resilience. She recently shared that she feels “better than ever,” embracing a positive outlook despite recent personal hardships. Alongside her music, Lopez is preparing for a starring role in the upcoming movie musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, underscoring her focus on career and artistic evolution.

Public reaction to Lopez’s statement about marriage has been mixed yet heartfelt. Many fans applaud her for embracing singlehood and personal strength, while others express sympathy for the emotional toll of her divorce from Affleck—a chapter that inspired her 2024 album and documentary This Is Me…Now.

While her remark was made in jest, it signifies a meaningful shift in Jennifer Lopez’s perspective on relationships and self-identity. As she continues her tour through August 12, culminating in Sardinia, Italy, Lopez appears ready to embrace a new chapter centered on self-empowerment rather than traditional notions of marriage.

Fans eager to follow her journey and latest projects are encouraged to stay tuned to entertainment news outlets and official announcements.
