Jennifer Lopez has no new criteria for what she looks for in a mate after her very public and very painful split with Ben Affleck. “There’s no new level to reach because I’m not looking for anyone,” she told Nikki Glazer in a conversation published in the magazine Interview. “For people who are romantic, who love relationships and want to grow old with someone, we think that it has to be the case to be happy and whole, but it’s not the case,” a- she added.
The star has had a turbulent year, between the end of her marriage to Ben Affleck, a canceled stadium tour and, now, a role in a new film that’s taking the festival circuit by storm, Unstoppable. She has nowhere to hide and doesn’t try to anymore either. Jennifer Lopez reflected on her recent very public pitfalls and the lessons she learned from them. Bottom line: “What the human spirit can overcome is mind-blowing,” she said.
During the interview, Jennifer Lopez painted the portrait of a woman who was on the rise after releasing the film and album versions of This Is Me… Now and self-financed a documentary, The greatest love story ever told on the quality of his second chance romantic relationship, and the filming of Unstoppable. “I felt like I was at the top,” she said. I’m fine. I’ve done all the work and look where I’m at, and then it’s like my fucking world exploded. »
Despite the pain of her divorce and the cancellation of her tour, she says she has no regrets.
“That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost wipe me out for good. It almost happened. But now, on the other side, I’m like, “Damn, this is exactly what I needed.” Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry you had to do this to me so many times. I should have learned this two or three years ago. Got it. You must have hit me really hard over the head with a fucking sledgehammer. You turned my world upside down. I don’t need to start again. »
“All my life I tried to tell myself that I was good enough”
Jennifer Lopez described her life with her perennial middle child syndrome, attention-seeking and perfectionism from a young age, competing for love and attention, first from busy parents, and more late from the public and his romantic partners. “I love my parents, but I see the effect of who they were and how they were raised on me,” she says. You don’t really know until these things start showing up in your adult relationships: “Oh, I’m comfortable with this person ignoring me, I’m comfortable with this person who treats me badly. I’m comfortable with this person treating me this way or that way,” which, for me, was a real lesson. »
