The "Bennifer" couple label may be over; however, Jennifer Lopez has allegedly not healed from the pain Ben Affleck inflicted on her.
The singer/actress is currently pushing a new album with a post-divorce theme, per sources, who claim the tracks address the hurt Lopez endured during her marriage to the "Batman" actor.
The former couple finalized their divorce early this year after Jennifer Lopez filed to end their union in August 2024. They were previously engaged in the early 2000s but failed to make it down the aisle.
Jennifer Lopez's New Songs Allegedly Address Her Time With Ben Affleck

According to new reports, Lopez showcased six new songs to 30 lucky fans at an exclusive listening party in Los Angeles. One of the tracks featured the lyrics "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you," which a source claimed "what she's insinuating is that Ben's the one that fell apart, not her."
"J.Lo's happy to be singing her truth. She's totally unapologetic and convinced this will be a launchpad for a whole new musical chapter. If it upsets Ben, then all the better, after the hell he put her through," the source explained, adding:
"She hasn't forgotten the pain, and writing about the experience and setting it to music is helping her."
The track, allegedly inspired by the pain Affleck caused, was titled "Wreckage of You." Another insider told RadarOnline the actor was disappointed by the song, describing it as a low blow when he was already overwhelmed by work.
The Hollywood Veteran Wants To Close His Chapter With The Singer

The insider stressed that the last thing Affleck needed in his life right now "is friends asking him how he feels about J.Lo's revenge song lyrics." They added that he was over his chapter with Lopez, saying:
"All he wants is to forget the marriage ever happened, but she's going out of her way to keep making things awkward and miserable."
"He's getting the impression that she wants to punish him till the end of time," the insider claimed. They noted that Affleck wasn't ready to deal with more drama from his ex-wife because he was losing a "fortune" trying to resolve the sale of their marital home.
"Now he has to deal with the fallout from J.Lo's song. It's just too much for him," the insider declared. Lopez and Affleck listed their marital mansion in Beverly Hills for $68million in July 2024 and eventually slashed the price to $59.95million. After months of zero offers, they reportedly took it off the market.
J.Lo Is Reportedly Searching For A New Label

Besides her divorce drama, Lopez took another hit in her career following the end of her working relationship with BMG. The Blast shared that the singer and the record label teamed up to release her 2024 album "This Is Me... Now."
The contract was reportedly a one-album deal, and the label did not consider extending its partnership with Lopez following the underwhelming performance of her album. After getting axed from the company, sources noted the singer was searching for a new label.
"Jennifer is obviously massively successful and talented, but it's been hard for her to find a label with which she's on the same page," an insider explained. They added that the failure of her last album hindered her progress; however, she was determined to push forward with her new music.

Lopez, amid her search for a new label, performed some of her new songs on her European tour. The track, "Up All Night," named after the tour, captured her seemingly hinting at her separation from Affleck with the lyrics:
"I'm up all night, dancing on somebody, living my best life. I bet you wish that you were by my side. I got tired of you breaking me down."
An insider claimed this song, among others, in her new album, was "inspired by what she went through during her relationship with Ben." While his ex-wife sang about their divorce, The Blast reported that Affleck was searching for a new home and was spotted house hunting in June.
Jennifer Lopez Is Done With Marriage After Ben Affleck

Affleck was photographed checking out an unfinished property near his ex's home while walking his German Shepherd dog. His June outing followed reports of his relocation to a $20 million property, which he reportedly purchased nearly a year ago in the Brentwood area.
Meanwhile, Lopez was renovating the $21 million property she purchased in the Hidden Hills area. A source noted it was a tradition whenever she switched homes, claiming she "renovates every home she moves into because she wants a certain look, the J.Lo touch, which makes the place her very own."
Lopez's real estate upgrade may remain a solo sanctuary as she revealed she was no longer interested in marriage. Last month, The Blast shared that a concertgoer had held up a "JLo, marry me?" sign during a show when the singer shut down the idea, saying:
"I think I'm done with that. Yeah, I tried that a few times."
Although Jennifer Lopez has tried and failed to achieve long-lasting marital bliss four times, is there hope for a fifth and final partner?
