    Jennifer Lopez will not join Raya

    The 56-year-old singer had her divorce from 53-year-old actor Ben Affleck - whom she married in 2022 and broke up with in 2024 - finalised in January this year, and she has no plans to create a profile on the celebrity dating app to find her perfect match


    Appearing on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show on Wednesday (15.10.25), the 71-year-old media personality asked the actress: "You would never go on Raya, would you?"

    Jennifer responded: "No, I don't want that.

    "I don't know. I'm just old-fashioned, I guess."

    Howard said the On the Floor hitmaker will "have no problem meeting guys", to which Jennifer agreed: "I'll be fine."

    Jennifer has married and divorced three other actors - Ojani Noa, 51, Cris Judd, 56, and 57 year old Marc Anthony - but she does not think she has "truly been loved".

    However, Jennifer has "really experienced loving someone".

    The Kiss of the Spider Woman star said: "What I learned is not that I'm not loveable - it's that they're not capable ... They don't have it in them.

    "They need to appreciate the little person inside of them. They need to love them.

    "And they gave me what they had. They gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriages. All of it. But..."

    Howard chimed in: "They didn't love you."

    The All I Have Singer added: "They didn't."

    The radio host then said: "And didn't know you."

    Jennifer then admitted: "And I didn't love myself."

    The performer - who has 17-year-old twins Max and Emme with Marc - said it is tricky to have a public relationship, and she would love to keep her next romance quieter.

    Jennifer - who is reportedly in a "really good place" with Ben after they appeared friendly with each other at the New York premiere of their new musical-thriller film Kiss of the Spider Woman on October 6 - explained: "It's difficult to be under that microscope.

    "I feel that I live my life very out loud, even though I was in the public eye. And I wanted to share my life with someone.

    "I want someone to be there when I'm having my big, important moments on the red carpet. I want someone to be there when I'm going to the store.

    "Whatever it is, like I wanted to share that, and so I didn't want to hide from it, and I spoke about it.

    "And I think now, after what's happened in the past few years to me and my children, I just feel like I want to keep that part so much more quiet in my life.

    "And it's hard because these are big moments in your life, you want to share them with everybody, and you think that's OK.

    "But the truth is, when you're in this type of career, and you have the type of level of fame that we're talking about, there is a compromise.

    "There are adjustments that you do need to make because it is a very blessed life."
