Jennifer Lopez 'auditioning' young men for revenge dating amid Ben Affleck divorce
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez is auditioning "hot young guys" as she is eager to pursue a relationship following her split from Ben Affleck, sources revealed to Radar Online.
According to an insider, the 'On the Floor' hitmaker was faithful throughout the relationship and even made every effort to keep the marriage intact, but now that they have separated, all "bets are off."

Jennifer Lopez wants to date 'hot young guys' to make herself feel 'sexy and desirable' again
Jennifer Lopez has been intending to get back in touch with attractive young men for some carefree fun in an attempt to improve her mood following her divorce from Ben Affleck.
She is reportedly auditioning several attractive young men in an attempt to feel great and possibly provoke the 'AIR' actor's envious urges. Meanwhile, Affleck is also open to dating again and intends to only date those who are sober or in recovery.
A source said of Lopez, "She's given the go-ahead for these hunks to be auditioned and served up for her. She was very respectful and totally loyal to Ben even after he walked out on her, but now all bets are off."
According to another source, the 'Atlas' star is "desperate" to move on from Affleck, with whom she rekindled her decades-old romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, only to call it quits after just two years of marriage.
"She's desperate to forget about him 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," shared the tipster.
Lopez wants to get over her "anguish," and the only way to do so is to take a "no strings attached" approach with younger men who would make her feel "sexy" once more.
The source added, "Her ego needs a serious reboot and being with young guys is great medicine because they will fawn all over her and make her feel sexy and desirable again."
New suitors need to sign NDAs, but Jennifer Lopez does not 'want anything serious for a while'
According to a friend, the 'All I Have' singer is in the best possible shape of her life, so finding attractive men who are ready, willing, and able won't be difficult.
The acquaintance said that potential suitors must go through a private screening process. "They'll all be vetted and will have to signs NDAs but after that it's game on," told the pal to Radar Online.
They added, "She may not want anything serious for a while, but she does want to have some fun, and who knows – maybe one of the hookups will turn into more. But her mission right now is just to feel sexy again and forget about Ben forever."
An insider claimed that Lopez has decided to take a break from serious dating and regain her confidence, even though many suitors, including Drake, are vying for her attention, as per In Touch Weekly.
This wouldn't be the first time the 'This Is Me...Now' singer has dated a younger guy. In 2011, at the age of 42, Lopez dated backup dancer Casper Smart, who was only 23 at the time.
The May-December couple, who were 18 years apart in age, were in an on-and-off relationship for five years before ending things for good in 2016.
A source said, "She had a great time with Casper, she doesn't regret it at all. She'd love to find that same sort of connection again, but she's keeping her expectations low. All she wants for now is some good loving."
