Lopez described her 'fundamental' breakup in an in-depth chat with Nikki Glaser this week, in which she talked about her life to her face.
“It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary,” he told the comedian in Interview magazine. 'It's sad. It feels desperate.

'Someone who truly loves you will help heal those parts of you,' she said. 'What I've learned about love is that it's a safe thing. You make me feel safe and when I'm not great, you understand me and help me grow because you have your boundaries and I have mine.

Speculation reached a fever pitch after Affleck moved out of his $60 million California mansion and moved into a $100K-a-month rental near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
A few weeks later, the home was quietly listed for $65 million and the couple began selling artwork from inside the mansion.
They reunited for the first time since announcing their split last month, together with their children at a Beverly Hills hotel.
Affleck shares Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Garner, while Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
