Jennifer Lopez is gearing up to re-enter the dating scene nearly a year after her high-profile split from Ben Affleck.

The actress and singer finalized her divorce in early 2025, having filed in August 2024 after a separation that began in April.

Sources close to the star reveal that she has dedicated significant time to healing with the support of family and friends and is now eager to embrace love once more.

Seeking a Yellowstone Cowboy Type

Amidst whispers of potential romances, Lopez is reportedly attracted to the idea of dating a “Yellowstone cowboy type.”

While rumors have flirted with the notion of her being linked to the beloved Yellowstone star Kevin Costner, insiders suggest that her true desire is for a partner who embodies the rugged yet reliable charm of Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser.

This character is known for his deep connection with Beth Dutton, and Lopez seeks a similar kind of relationship where she feels cherished and valued.
