Jennifer Lopez admits she’s a ‘bad picker’ in flirty chat with co-star Bobby Cannavale amid Ben Affleck divorce
At least she’s self-aware.
Jennifer Lopez had a moment of self-reflection while having a giddy conversation with “Unstoppable” co-star Bobby Cannavale at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday.
The “Let’s Get Loud” singer, 55, could be overheard telling the actor, 54, “I’m a bad picker,” per video taken by the Hollywood Reporter.
Cannavale appeared to have trouble hearing Lopez at first so she repeated the phrase at least two other times to him, while also laughing off the candid admission. She then says moments later, “It is what it is.”

Having a “bad picker” typically means that an individual consistently chooses the wrong person or has a tendency to pair up with similar types of people who are not right for them.
The “Marry Me” star has been married four times, including to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003, the father of her kids, Marc Anthony, from 2004 to 2014 and her latest ex Ben Affleck.
Lopez recently filed for divorce from the “Argo” director, 52, on Aug. 20, which was the former couple’s two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding.
They had rekindled their romance decades after calling off their first engagement in 2004.

Their official split then came after months of speculation that their marriage was on the rocks, and tell-tale signs such as the fact that the pair was house-hunting separately for new homes.
In May, Lopez gave another subtle clue that she believes she chooses the wrong men for herself by “liking” a post about unhealthy relationships.
The quote explained that one “cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety,” “doesn’t respect your time,” lacks “communication skills,” among other issues.
A source claimed to People in August that Lopez had gotten fed up with Affleck’s alleged mood swings and “erratic behavior,” claiming he’d go from being “incredibly happy” to the “deepest, darkest behavior.”

Since the split, though, Lopez share via Instagram that she is “at peace” and shared happy moments from this past summer with her followers.
At the Toronto International Film Festival, the “Jenny From the Block” singer seemed in very good spirits.
Some fans even thought that Lopez appeared to be flirting with Cannavale — even though he has been in a long-term relationship with Rose Byrne, with whom he also shares two kids, since 2012.

The “Hustlers” star could be seen in the Hollywood Reporter’s clip playfully placing her hand on “The Watcher” actor’s shoulder and then moments later she does a little dance in front of him.
“Rose Byrne is hotter, she better step off,” one fan commented, while another person joked, “Working towards her next ring 💍💍.”
However, a third pointed out via X, “For the uneducated.. jlo has worked and has known this man for over 20 years,” referencing how the co-stars also appeared together on 2004’s “Shall We Dance?”

Lopez hit the Hollywood event wearing a glamorous yet revealing gown that featured silver embroidery and open sides tied together with black velvet bows, seemingly showing Affleck what he’s missing.
She captioned a series of photos of herself in the outfit via Instagram Friday by cheekily using the name of her new movie, “Unstoppable.”
Lopez’s rep did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
