Jennifer Lopez has a strong message for any guy hoping to date her

Jenny from the Block ain’t playing games! JLo knows what she wants in a man, so fellas, you better listen up. During a recent performance at her Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez told the crowd what she was looking for in her next relationship. Her romance revelation went down while performing her 1999 track “If You Had My Love.”

The 56-year-old singer — who divorced Ben Affleck, 53, in January 2025 after two years of marriage — explained, “When I first sang it, I was very young. I was a little baby in the woods, and I sang it with a lot of hope. But I’ve also sang it over the years. I’ve sang it while I was sad and I’ve sang it when I was happy. But now, today, you know how I sing it? I sing it in power.”

Lopez added, “Because the truth is, if you wanted to have my love, you would have to earn it. You would have to treat me right. You would have to respect me. You’d have to accept me for all that I am. You’d have to love me if you wanted my love.”

The “On the Floor” hitmaker — who has been married four times — continued, “Love is a complicated thing, and I know that you can’t have love without heartbreak. You can’t. That’s what you sign up for.”

She also joked about her marriage to Affleck during her first Vegas show. Lopez recalled her 2016 residency and said, “It’s been 10 years since my last residency. That went by in a blink. I tell you and I’ve only been married twice since then. That’s not true! It was only once, felt like twice. I’m kidding.”

The “Waiting for Tonight” singer then quipped, “Things happen,” before kicking out her leg and adding, “and then get rid of them.”

Hope all you single guys out there were taking notes. Good luck and remember her Vegas residency has eight more shows in March.
