Stern went on, asking: "And do you think you really have experienced loving someone?"

"Yes," she replied, adding: "What I learned, it's not that I'm not lovable, it's that they're not capable.

"They gave me what they had, they gave me all of it every time... [they] tried to give me the houses, the rings, the marriage, all of it."

"And I didn't love myself."

Her 2021 reunion with Affleck seemed like a full circle – they first got engaged in 2002 after meeting on set of their film Gigli, but called things off before they got to the altar.

In a 2021 podcast interview on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Affleck later remarked about the way Lopez had been treated in the past.

"People were so f--king mean about her – sexist, racist. Ugly, vicious s--t was written about her in ways that if you wrote it now you would literally be fired for saying those things you said," he said.

During a candid interview with Interview Magazine, she admitted: "I know that everything that's being written and said about me, and all the conjecture of who I am as a person, is not who I am.

"And social media, because it came along after I had been in the public eye for a while, I don't take it as seriously as everybody else.''

"... And anything anybody could say about me – and please don't get me wrong, if I see something that's hurtful, I'm not Teflon."
