Newly-single Jennifer Lopez is ready to get back on the dating scene following her split from husband Ben Affleck last month, insiders tell Closer.

Rather than licking her wounds, a source close to the singer, 55, says that she’s putting herself back out there – but friends are worried about the type of man she’s looking for.

‘Jen wants to show the world that she can bag a hot young Hollywood man, and it’s not as if it will be too hard for her to pull off considering how gorgeous she is. She has fully closed the book on Ben and is already looking ahead to moving on with her life,’ our insider reveals.

‘She loves the idea of dating a hunk like Joe Jonas or Zac Efron, but pals think it could be a dangerous move and that she should be searching for love and security when she’s ready. But more worrying for her team is someone like Pete Davidson, as he’s been in rehab and Jen might think she could end up trying to save him.’

However, the source adds that ‘she doesn’t want anything serious right now’, saying, ‘She wants to let the world know she is ready to have some fun again after going through a really dark time with Ben. She’s not looking to move someone in, she just wants some eye candy by her side for her next appearance.’
