Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian take the bachelorette scene by storm to forget Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian are starting 2025 with a shared goal: taking the single life by storm. The powerhouse duo, long-time friends, are reportedly bonding even more as they lean on each other for support and empowerment in their fresh starts.

"Kim has been a huge source of support for J.Lo ever since she split from Ben [Affleck]," an insider revealed to In Touch. "She's not only been a listening ear but also a genuine cheerleader and even taken on the role of stylist."

Kim has helped Jennifer step up her fashion game, encouraging her to embrace a bold, sexy style over the past six months. This confidence boost is evident in J.Lo's stunning red carpet appearances, even though she recently skipped the Golden Globes.

Jennifer's split from Ben Affleck has been nothing but amicable. In December, the former couple reunited for the holidays, exchanging gifts at Soho House in Los Angeles. Jennifer even visited Ben at his residence shortly after, where she was spotted hugging his son, Samuel.

The pair finalized their divorce just 20 weeks after filing, ending their whirlwind two-year marriage. They had initially eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a larger celebration in Georgia for family and friends.

As J.Lo transitions into her next chapter, she's preparing to drop "Affleck" from her name, returning to Jennifer Lynn Lopez-a symbolic move signifying her fresh start. With Kim's encouragement, Lopez is now open to embracing her single status fully.

Kim's matchmaking mission

Kim Kardashian, who reportedly split from NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. last year, has decided to use her matchmaking skills for J.Lo. According to sources, Jennifer has agreed to let Kim set her up-with one playful condition: they double-date.

"Kim wants her to start dating, and J.Lo is all for it," the insider explained. "For Kim, it's a perfect opportunity to explore the dating scene herself while having J.Lo as her partner in crime."

Kim's resolution for 2025 is to "play the field," and she sees this as a chance for them both to reclaim their confidence and independence.

Their newfound closeness has been a source of joy for Kim, who has long admired Jennifer Lopez. "Kim has always had J.Lo on a pedestal and can hardly believe they're now such close friends," the source shared.
