His love don’t cost a thing?Ben Affleck is reportedly ready to date again, a little over two months after his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce.“He’s open to it,” a source recently told Entertainment Tonight.
However, the insider cautioned that dating is not at the top of the star’s to do-list.“Ben has other priorities that are more important,” they said.The Post has reached out to Affleck’s rep for comment.The insider’s update comes just weeks after Lopez revealed she is “not looking for anybody” to date and is happy being single for the time being.Speaking with comedian Nikki Glaser for a piece in Interview magazine, the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer shared that she is “working on herself’ after her “whole world fell apart” this summer.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on Aug.20, the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony.When Glaser suggested that Lopez has “a new bar for the next person that comes along” after her split from Affleck, the “Selena” star was emphatic — she is not interested in dating right now.
“Here’s the thing: There’s no new bar because I’m not looking for anybody.How’s that?” she told Glaser.Asked by Glaser whether this is “the first time you’ve been able to say that as a single woman,” Lopez exclaimed, “Yes!”“For people who are romantics and love being in relationships and want to grow old with somebody, we think, ‘I have to have that to be whole and happy.’ And you don’t,” JLo added.She also said that she does not regret “one second” of the pain the breakup with Affleck caused.“That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good.
It almost did,” she admitted.“But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘F–k, 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.I should have learned it two or three time...
