<p id=”par-4_38″>Lopez added that she loves the “decorations and the hot chocolate and the music and the food” with the holidays. Regarding the new year, she hopes to develop a “deeper connection” to herself and continue to learn. </p>

<p id=”par-8_27″>Jennifer Lopez is known for her many celebrity relationships. However, after she pulled the plug on her marriage to Ben Affleck, she discussed establishing her independence. </p>
<p id=”par-9_54″>“Being in a relationship doesn’t define me,” she told <a href=”https://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/jennifer-lopez-tells-nikki-glaser-how-a-turbulent-summer-changed-her” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Interview Magazine</a>. “I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself. I used to say I’m a happy person but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, ‘No, I’m actually good.’”</p>
<p id=”par-10_73″>However, a source told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14073849/Jennifer-Lopez-secret-Ben-Affleck-revealed-split.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a> that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/drake-possibly-date-jennifer-lopez-plays-cards-right-source-says-clearly-moving.html/”>Lopez would “love to have love</a> in her life again” despite what she said before. “Jen like most people, would love to have love in her life again,” the source alleged. “But the one person she has to give time to right now is herself. If something presents itself, then obviously, life and love find a way, but she isn’t looking to get into any new relationships.”</p>
