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.

β€œHe’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.

β€œBen has other priorities that are more important,” they said.

Speaking with comedian Nikki Glaser for a piece in Interview magazine, the β€œLove Don’t Cost a Thing” singer shared that she is β€œworking on herself’ after her β€œwhole 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 β€œa new bar for the next person that comes along” after her split from Affleck, the β€œSelena” star was emphatic β€” she is not interested in dating right now.

β€œHere’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 β€œthe first time you’ve been able to say that as a single woman,” Lopez exclaimed, β€œYes!”

β€œFor people who are romantics and love being in relationships and want to grow old with somebody, we think, β€˜I have to have that to be whole and happy.’ And you don’t,” JLo added.

She also said that she does not regret β€œone second” of the pain the breakup with Affleck caused.

β€œThat doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did,” she admitted. β€œBut now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, β€˜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 times ago. I get it. You had to hit me really hard over the head with a f–king sledgehammer. You dropped the house on me. Don’t have to do it again.’”

JLo went on to note that her newly found perspective on love doesn’t mean she has β€œeverything figured out,” but insists she’s β€œexcited” to be on her own.

β€œYes, I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f–king do when it’s just me flying on my own β€” What if I’m just free?”

As Lopez and Affleck’s divorce moves forward, the couple are reportedly β€œdoing well” but only have β€œlimited contact,” according to ET.
⁠
β€œThey’re focused on their families, work commitments and just moving forward,” a source told the outlet.
⁠
Though Lopez isn’t interested in re-entering the dating pool, her friends and family β€œwant to see her get out there again and finally get her happily ever after” though they are β€œgiving her time and space to move on,” the person said.
