Jennifer Lopez recently split from her husband Marc Anthony and opens up about her feelings and post-divorce life in the September issue of the Vanity Fair magazine.
This was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. Sometimes it doesn’t work – and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love. It’s still my biggest dream.
‘I am positive – determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.
‘I now look forward to new challenges. I feel strong.’
JLo admits that marriage is tough, that first when they got married, she didn’t work and it was “mainly about him”.
Then we got pregnant. Then it became about the kids. And then I started working again…Marriage is tough. It’s not going to be perfect…It’s definitely challenging.’…
I will always respect Marc as a singer and performer. We actually work great together, and he was always very supportive.
‘Together we could make magic – and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children.’
‘I’m a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love. It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves.
‘To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me.‘I love myself enough to walk away from that now.’
