‘I honestly felt like I was going to die’
Last year, the ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker expressed that separating from Affleck was the “biggest heartbreak of my life,” as per Complex.
“I honestly felt like I was going to die,” she said, adding, “It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most would-never-happen-in-Hollywood ending.”

Lopez and Affleck famously dated in the 2000s
Lopez began dating in the 2000s before finalizing a September 2003 wedding date, only to call it off a few days before the nuptials. “Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date,” the couple said in a joint statement at the time. “When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realized that something was awry.”
The pair eventually broke up in 2004 and moved on from their relationship. In the same year as her breakup with Affleck, Lopez married Marc Anthony, while the ‘Batman’ actor began dating Jennifer Garner and eventually married her in June 2005. Lopez and Anthony are parents to twins Emme and Max, who are now 15 years old, while Affleck and Garner have three children: Violet Anne, 17, Seraphina Rose, 13, and Samuel, 11.
