Stripping down to a very racy leopard print outfit, 55-year-old JLo has broken her silence on her turbulent summer that saw her short marriage to her actor ex end.

The A-listers tied the knot in a July 2022 Las Vegas ceremony and had a more extravagant celebration the following month in Georgia.

But Jennifer filed for divorce in August after just two years’ wed.

The newly-single superstar told Interview Magazine: “You’re either growing or dying, and I don’t want to do the dying part.

“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 good on your own. 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.’

JLO added: “It’s f***ing hard! It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate.

“Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself.

“I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, ‘no, I’m actually good’.”

The exes first struck up a romance in the early 2000s – with their couple name “Bennifer” becoming a defining moment in pop culture.

He proposed in November 2002 with an iconic pink-diamond engagement ring, but eventually called it off in January 2004.

They rekindled their whirlwind romance in the spring of 2021 and went public with the relationship in June of that same year.

Ben popped the question for a second time with a stunning green engagement ring in April 2022.
