Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called it quits on their marriage in August 2024. By January 2025, they finalized their divorce. So far, rumors suggest Lopez and Affleck might be open to finding love again, though Lopez has said she plans on focusing on herself moving forward. According to an insider, Kim Kardashian wants to help Lopez dive back into the dating scene — and Lopez is “all for” the assistance.

Kim Kardashian allegedly ‘wants’ Jennifer Lopez ‘to start dating’ after Ben Affleck divorce

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce and divided their assets without a prenuptial agreement. Now that the exes made their split official, Kim Kardashian is allegedly stepping in to help Lopez through her hardship. An insider told In Touch Weekly that Kardashian has “stepped up to the plate” as a “cheerleader” for Lopez.

“Kim has been a huge source of support for J.Lo ever since she split from Ben,” the insider revealed. “She’s really stepped up to the plate and been not only a shoulder to cry on but also a bona fide cheerleader and a stylist, too.”

The source added that Kardashian “wants” Lopez “to start dating, and she’s nominated herself as a matchmaker.” As for Lopez, she’s allegedly “all for it and has agreed” to allow Kardashian “to set her up on the condition that they double date.”

While Lopez said she intends to focus on herself in the coming year, fans are curious as to how long she’ll stay single. Kardashian also entered 2025 single, and the source noted that the reality star has a “resolution” to “play the field” more in the coming year.

“Kim has always had J.Lo on a huge pedestal,” the insider continued. “She can hardly believe that they’ve become genuine friends.”

Jennifer Lopez once called Kim Kardashian a ‘sweetheart’

Kim Kardashian has been one of Jennifer Lopez’s biggest fans for years. In 2015, Kardashian referred to Lopez as her “idol” in a photo on Instagram of the two of them walking arm in arm at the Met Gala. In 2016, Kardashian presented Lopez with a birthday cake after Lopez’s Jennifer Lopez: All I Have residency show at Planet Hollywood.

Lopez once told USA Today that she loved how much Kardashian adored her.

“Oh, I’ve met Kim many times,” Lopez said. “She tells me all the time that I’m her idol and stories about when she used to follow me when my first album was out, and stuff like that. It’s really sweet. She’s a sweet girl, and it’s very flattering to meet any of your fans! She’s always been very open about that and it’s very flattering to me; she’s a sweetheart.”

J.Lo is allegedly ‘desperate to forget’ about Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez loved Ben Affleck and hoped their rekindled flame would last. Unfortunately, they divorced just two years into marriage. A source told In Touch Weekly that Lopez feels “desperate to forget” about Affleck and hopes to have “no-strings-attached fun” moving forward.

“She’s already given the go-ahead for these hunks to be auditioned and served up for her,” a source told the publication, according to Yahoo. “She was very respectful and totally loyal to Ben even after he walked out on her, but now all bets are off. She’s desperate to forget about Ben and get over the anguish he’s put her through, and the best way she can do that is by having some no-strings-attached fun with hot young guys.”

After Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce, a source told People that Lopez felt ready to move forward after her dream marriage turned into a “nightmare.”

“She’s in a really good place and just wants to close the door on this crazy chapter,” the insider alleged.
