Jennifer Lopez recently had a candid moment of self-awareness during a conversation with her co-star Bobby Cannavale at the Toronto International Film Festival. In a video captured by the Hollywood Reporter, the singer admitted that she’s a “bad picker,” indicating that she tends to choose the wrong people in her life. Cannavale appeared to have trouble hearing Lopez at first, so she repeated the phrase a few times while laughing it off, adding “It is what it is” moments later.
Lopez has been married four times, including to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony, and Ben Affleck. She recently filed for divorce from Affleck on their two-year anniversary, after they had rekindled their romance following their first engagement in 2004. Reports suggested that their split was due to Affleck’s alleged mood swings and erratic behavior, leading to speculation about the state of their marriage, such as house-hunting separately for new homes.
In May, Lopez hinted at her pattern of choosing the wrong men by liking a post about unhealthy relationships. The post highlighted the importance of building healthy relationships with people who possess traits like integrity, emotional safety, respect for time, and good communication skills. Sources claimed that Lopez had grown tired of Affleck’s behavior, which ranged from extreme happiness to dark moods.
Despite the split, Lopez shared on Instagram that she is now at peace and posted happy moments from her summer. At the Toronto International Film Festival, the “Jenny From the Block” singer appeared in good spirits and was playfully interacting with Cannavale, sparking rumors of flirtation. Some fans joked about Lopez aiming for her next ring, but others pointed out that she has known Cannavale for over 20 years, having worked together previously.
In a glamorous gown featuring silver embroidery and open sides tied with velvet bows, symbolically showing Affleck what he’s missing, Lopez attended the event confidently. She posted photos of herself in the outfit on Instagram, humorously using the title of her new movie, “Unstoppable.” Lopez’s rep did not respond to requests for comment, leaving fans to speculate about her open and playful demeanor at the festival. Overall, the singer-actress seemed to be embracing her self-awareness and moving forward positively post-split.
