Jennifer Lopez, desperate after her divorce from Ben Affleck, tries to have fun with young, attractive guys with no strings attached

Following her divorce from Ben Affleck, it looks as though Jennifer Lopez is keen to turn the page and move on in her personal life.

The two were regularly in the headlines over the summer as questions began to mount over their marriage. Finally, after two years of marriage, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August.

This came after the two, who had initially called off their engagement in 2004, reconnected in May 2021. They later tied the knot in July 2022, with Affleck previously stating that "Jennifer was the one that got away".

Lopez ready to move on

Now with the divorce official, it appears Lopez is following in the footsteps of Mariah Carey and rebounding by looking for young men with no-strings attached.

"She's already given the go-ahead for these hunks to be auditioned and served up for her," the source told In Touch. "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."

This comes after Lopez sat down with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine in early October, and stated that her post-divorce life "feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate."

"But when you sit in those feelings and go, 'These things are not going to kill me,' it's like, actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself. Being in a relationship doesn't define me. I can't be looking for happiness in other people."

The source also noted that while there are plenty of suitors lining up to date Lopez, she has decided to hold off on serious dating for the time being.

"Her ego needs a serious reboot and being with hot guys is great medicine because they will fawn all over her and make her feel young and sexy and desirable again," the insider added.

"She's in amazing shape and looks fantastic, so it's not hard for her to find plenty of hunks that want to get with her. They'll all be vetted and will have to sign NDAs, but after that it's game on." 

"She may not want anything serious for a while but she does want to have some fun, and who knows, maybe one of the hook-ups will turn into more. But her mission right now is just to feel sexy again and forget about Ben forever."
