Is Jennifer Lopez Eyeing Harry Styles Romantically?

Desiree O
Feb 21, 2017

Jennifer Lopez made it perfectly clear that younger men are not off limits when she hooked up with Drake, a dude who’s 17 years her junior. But now that their sitch has fizzled, it looks like a new one might be about to start sizzling. That’s because Jenny from the block could now be eyeing Harry Styles romantically — at least if her recent interview with Ellen is any indicator!

When 47-year-old Lopez sat down with the talk show host for a game of “Who’d You Rather,” things started off with a bang when the options given were Harry Styles or Zac Efron. (How can one even make such a choice?!) Well, it was pretty easy for Lopez. “It’s funny ’cause I could do either,” she admitted before revealing, “Probably a couple years ago I would’ve said Zac Efron, but today I’m going to say Harry Styles.” Oh, my!

But that wasn’t all: The singer then continued to make the same choice, over and over again. Nick Jonas? The Weeknd? Brad Pitt? Prince Harry?! No one could compete with Styles.

As for the fact that Harry’s only 23, Lopez does concede,“He’s a little bit young for me.” But earlier, while discussing age within relationships, Lopez shared her thoughts, saying, “If there’s somebody older, they’re older. If they’re younger, they’re younger. It doesn’t matter. It’s just whether or not I’m attracted to them or not — attracted to their spirit, their soul, whatever, their energy.”

Fair enough. We have to wonder what Harry Styles thinks about Jennifer Lopez’s “spirit, soul, and energy.”

33 Early Black Friday Deals You Can Start Shopping Now

Black Friday will be here before you know it, with thousands of retailers flaunting their best deals of the year. We're shoppers at heart, so you know we're already scoping out 2024's offerings! Given that the list of stores and brands hosting Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year is essentially endless, we're weeding out only the best deals from the places you love to spend (and save). From beauty faves like Dieux and Kiehl's to home goods from Amazon and Walmart, these are the Black Friday deals you simply can't miss.

What is Black Friday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving that typically signifies the start of holiday shopping season, though many retailers have started to launch their Black Friday deals earlier year over year. A lot of the deals that stores and brands offer during Black Friday outpace their other sales events (such as Memorial Day and Labor Day) in terms of savings.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Gustavo Fring / PEXELS

Black Friday will land on November 29, 2024.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving that highlights savings and deals online as opposed to in-store offers. It's one of the busiest times of year for online shopping.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Anna Shvets / PEXELS

Cyber Monday will land on December 2, 2024.

When's the best time to shop for holiday gifts?

Vlada Karpovich / PEXELS

We're big believers that it's never too early to start shopping for holiday gifts. The sooner you shop, the better, so you can check everyone off your list ahead of the busy holiday season and have some peace of mind once the real festivities start! Plus, if you're shopping online, starting early gives you ample time to wait for items to be shipped and delivered to your door. If deals and savings are what you're looking for, Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer some really great opportunities.

What's the best thing to shop for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best thing to shop for during Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday promotions really depends on what your needs are as well as the items you're scoping out to treat yourself (or the people you're gifting for the holidays). Typically, big-ticket items like home appliances, tech products like earbuds, laptops, TVs, and tablets, and luxury self-care tools are heavily discounted during this time.

29 Irresistible Recipes For A Vegetarian Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving seems centered around turkey. From the hearty stuffing to the thick ‘n’ juicy gravy, almost everything is made with or around the turkey and its drippings. So, how do vegetarians get by?
