Jennifer Lopez is opening up about how her family got through the “tough year” characterized, in no small part, by her divorce from Ben Affleck, which was finalized in January.

Although the couple is no longer together, their families are still close. In April, Lopez's twins Emme and Max joined Affleck, alongside his own kids — Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 16, and Violet, 19 — at the premiere of his new movie The Accountant 2.

She divorced Ben Affleck and had to cancel her This is Me… Now tour. The “Waiting For Tonight” singer got honest with El País about how she’s spent the last year: reading a lot of books and doing a lot of self-introspection.
