Lopez answered frankly, "Yes." Kimmel was about to ask her another question, but she interrupted him, remarking, "I should have done this sooner. I've been doing it all wrong! Believe me, I've been doing it all wrong.".
Kimmel used the opportunity to offer her a spot on the new season of "The Bachelorette." The host asked, "Would you consider being the next Bachelorette on ABC?" The "On the Floor" singer responded, "Are you crazy? I don't do anything to ruin my mood." She added that being single is "fantastic.".
Kimmel joked that Lopez should see this as an opportunity to meet someone, since "you seem to have a hard time meeting people any other way." The "Office Romance" star added, "I'll meet someone somewhere someday. If they're good enough. I don't know.".
For those unfamiliar, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance, which began in the 2000s, in 2021. The couple married in 2022 and finalized their divorce in February 2025. While the Gone Girl star hasn't commented on her divorce, Lopez has touched on the topic in recent interviews.
In a previous interview with Good Morning America's "Nightline," Lopez admitted that she had to put everything on hold after filing for divorce from Affleck. The singer, known for her hit "Let's Get Loud," admitted, "I had to stop everything, and I took a year off. I canceled my tour. I just decided to be home and process what happened, not escape it through work, through another person, through anything—just process it.".
In another segment of the interview, Lopez admitted she's currently happy and enjoying her single life. When the host teased her with the question, "Does she have a lot of relationships now?", the 56-year-old singer replied, "No. No! God forbid, I don't want to ruin anything!"«
