J.Lo Says Divorce From Ben Affleck Was the 'Best Thing'

"Jennifer Lopez told CBS Sunday Morning that divorcing Ben Affleck was "the best thing" to ever happen to her. "I realized that the joy is in living, and really embracing life and everything that it brings to you. For the lessons that it brings, and then for all the triumphs that it brings. The hard times are the lessons, and you have to understand that," she said."

"But she also is still very thankful to Affleck for his company, Artists Equity, for financing the movie. "The movie wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for him and Artist Equity," she said. "I told him this was the role I was born to play and I wanted to do it and he was like, 'Okay,' and he helped make it happen.""

Divorcing Ben Affleck was described as the best thing to ever happen, leading to a renewed recognition that joy comes from living and embracing life. Hard times are framed as lessons that, once understood, make life feel lighter and allow personal growth. Filming Kiss of the Spider Woman provided solace during a turbulent period, with on-set moments bringing happiness while home life remained difficult. Affleck's company, Artists Equity, financed the film and made the production possible. Credit and gratitude are given for that support, with a suggestion that thanks could be offered publicly at an awards acceptance.
