LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez is getting a glow-up amid her divorce from Ben Affleck

According to a source close to the ‘Jenny From the Block’ songstress, the 55-year-old entertainer “is doing what millions of other divorcees do,” and is currently focusing on herself. 

The source shared that with “millions at her disposal,” Lopez is looking forward to putting her best foot forward to make Affleck realize “what he is missing.”

Jennifer Lopez is going for ‘glow-up’ amid her divorce

Speaking to Radar Online, the source shared, “JLo is doing what millions of other divorcees do – getting a glow-up after their splits.”

"But she has millions at her disposal, and is determined to look better than ever – so Ben will see what he is missing,” ominously warned the source. 

Another insider dished that the ‘Maid in Manhattan’ star has already started her ‘glow-up’ journey as she recently underwent LASIK eye surgery at Dello Russo Laser Vision.

Close pals of Lopez have also reflected on the star’s eye surgery, quipping the new vision might finally help her “spot” her perfect partner.

"Jen wanted to ditch the glasses and contacts, aiming for a fresh start and a new outlook on life,” shared the source before elaborating, "She decided it was time to do something just for herself, and what better way to kick off this new phase than by literally seeing the world more clearly?”

“She's loving her new 20/20 vision! Maybe those new eyes will help her spot a man who can finally make her happy,” quipped the insider while adding that she thought of undergoing the surgery for a long time, but put it aside to focus on her busy schedule and relationship with her ex-husband.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about her divorce

The ‘Shotgun Wedding’ star filed for divorce from her on August 20, on her own at the Los Angeles County Court. 

Previously, she opened up about her divorce in a conversation with Interview Magazine, where she talked about her divorce. 

Like the previous insiders, Jennifer Lopez too vouched for focusing on herself amid her split as she explained, "The work is figuring yourself out. It's looking back at the feelings underneath and the belief systems that we have about ourselves that make us make certain choices and create certain patterns in our life.”

She continued, "And so, when you get to a point where you think that you've learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, 'Okay, I haven't, so what is it that I need to look at right now?' I would say, never stop looking inward, because it's so easy to blame everybody else."

“You have to be healthy. You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete.You have to be good on your own,” added the star. 

She reflected on her divorce, "I thought I learned that, but I didn't. And then, this summer, I had to be like, 'I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.'"

"I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself. Being in a relationship doesn't define me,” firmly declared the star.
