As Jennifer Lopez reportedly stands on the verge of divorce, there are rumors swirling that she won’t stay single for long. Leading the pack of potential suitors is her former flame, Drake, according to an exclusive source speaking with In Touch.

“Drake wouldn’t make a move while Jennifer is still married,” the insider reveals. “He respects that boundary. But once her relationship with Ben [Affleck] is officially over, he’ll be ready to show her a great time.”

Drake, 37, and Jennifer, 54, had a brief romantic fling in 2016, and the source adds that Lopez is well aware that Drake remains an option. “Drake’s been subtly letting people know he’s interested,” the insider continues. “Jennifer has always been one of his biggest crushes, and he’s said that what they had back then was unforgettable. Although he never pursued anything serious before, everyone knows he would’ve loved to date her for real.”

JENNIFER LOPEZ DATING HISTORY

While J.Lo reportedly isn’t looking to rekindle things with any of her former partners, “Drake might have a chance since they never got too serious,” the source shares.

Although Jennifer and Ben, 51, haven’t filed for divorce yet, In Touch exclusively reported in May that Affleck had moved out of their $60 million mansion, which they are now attempting to sell. Affleck has reportedly been staying in a rental home in Brentwood, California, amidst ongoing marital issues.

The couple, who rekindled their romance and got married in 2022, had first dated 20 years earlier and were once close to tying the knot in the early 2000s. However, they’ve been seen spending increasing time apart. In April and May, they went nearly 47 days without being spotted together, only reuniting publicly for events related to their children.

When Lopez canceled her summer tour in June to “focus on her children, family, and close friends,” fans expected her to spend more time with Affleck. Instead, she flew to Europe for events in Paris and a vacation in Italy, while Affleck stayed in Los Angeles with his three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.

DIVORCE PAPERS HANDED IN

On the 2nd anniversary of their marriage, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce. “She’s not the type to stay single for long,” the source adds. “And a fun fling with Drake could be just what she needs.”

Drake and Jennifer Lopez first ignited romance rumors in December 2016 after posting intimate photos together on Instagram and being seen sharing a kiss at a prom-themed party. By February 2017, Lopez acknowledged that they were “hanging out,” but didn’t elaborate on their relationship. However, the speculation soon faded, and in March of that year, Lopez clarified on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, saying, “Let me clear this up. I am not with Drake.”
