Jennifer Lopez Is 'Not Dating' and 'Happy' 2 Months After Finalizing Ben Affleck Divorce (Exclusive Source)

• Jennifer Lopez is "happy” and "not dating," a source tells PEOPLE
• Following her filing last August, the pop star and Ben Affleck’s divorce was finalized this January
• Coming up on a year since her split, Lopez is focused on work and her kids, says the insider

Jennifer Lopez is content and single as she moves on from her divorce from Ben Affleck. 

“She's focused on work and is not dating,” a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. “She's happy as it is."

Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, on Aug. 20, the date of their second wedding anniversary. The former couple, who ended an engagement in 2004 and rekindled their romance in 2021, finalized their divorce on Jan. 6 and were officially declared single on Feb. 21.  

“Life goes on and if anyone can move forward and be positive about it, it's Jennifer. She sees everything as a lesson,” the source continues. "She was hurt by their sudden separation and Ben's unwillingness to not work on their marriage. She really wanted it to work out.” 

In her divorce filing, Lopez listed April 26, 2024 as the date of the couple's separation. Coming up on a year since the split, the Atlas star is doing well, adds the source. “She's been focused on finding a new home for her and the kids.” 

The star, who shares twins Max and Emme, 17, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, recently purchased a home near Los Angeles for about $18 million.

Affleck, meanwhile, purchased his own $20.5 million house in Los Angeles last July, where he’s spending time with kids Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 12, who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

The Oscar winner has recently been busy promoting his sequel The Accountant 2 (in theaters April 25). Among his and Matt Damon's projects as producers is musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which stars fellow producer Lopez in the titular role and will be released in the fall. She is also working on the Netflix rom-com Office Romance.

In a wide-ranging cover interview for the April issue of GQ, Affleck addressed his breakup with Lopez, saying he has "nothing but respect" for her as a person. The pop star has "handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have," he added, whereas his “temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers… You don’t always have the same attitude towards these things."
