On Tuesday's episode of Subway Takes, the Office Romance star gave an optimistic perspective on relationships ending.

"Breakups are not a failure. I honestly feel like it's a launchpad into your next best self. We should have a party when we break up!" Lopez told host Kareem Rahma.

She continued, "People should say, 'You broke up? Congratulations,' because one, you made a decision. Two, it was probably the best thing for everybody."

She noted, "You change yourself completely."
