Jennifer Lopez admits her split from her ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2011 was a real wake-up call for her and encouraged her to re-evaluate her past relationships. The 44-year-old singer – who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, admits she struggled to come to terms with their break up in July 2011, but she believes the heartbreak made her a stronger person.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, she said: ‘’I went through a tremendous low but I wouldn’t change anything (about my past) because it made me who I am.”
The “On The Floor” hitmaker, who tied the knot with Marc in 2004 after two previous failed marriages, insists the split allowed her to “take a look at what was going on” in her life and re-evaluate her past relationships.
She explained: “As women we can sometimes give ourselves away. I was certainly guilty of that for some time. Now I realise I am good on my own, so now I can share my life with somebody.
“However, Jennifer, who has been dating backing-dancer Casper Smart for the past two years, believes her children have allowed her to understand the real meaning of love.”
She said: “I just feel like I went through a real growth spurt as a human being (when I became a mother). Having my babies allowed me to realise what real unconditional love was.” – Bangshowbiz.
