Jennifer Lopez opens up post-Affleck: ‘Being in a relationship doesn’t define me’

LA Times  

Jennifer Lopez says this past summer, which included her tour cancellation and her divorce from Ben Affleck, was “probably the hardest time of my life, but it was also the best time because I got to do that work on myself.” This is Jennifer Lopez. “It’s looking back at the feelings underneath and the belief systems that we have about ourselves that make us make certain choices and create certain patterns in our life,” she told comedian Nikki Glaser in an Interview magazine sit-down published Wednesday. “And so, when you get to a point where you think that you’ve learned the lessons, and then it blows up in your face again, you realize, ‘OK, I haven’t, so what is it that I need to look at right now?’ I would say, never stop looking inward, because it’s so easy to blame everybody else.” For the record: An earlier version of this article called Jennifer Lopez a Grammy Award winner. I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, ‘No, I’m actually good.’” “The Wedding Planner” and “Maid in Manhattan” star explained that she used to feel that she had to be perfect to be loved, but now she feels “somebody who truly loves you will help you heal those parts of yourself.” The admission appeared to be a departure from the hopeless romantic she presented herself as in many of her projects. Lopez said that she learned a long time ago that everything written or said about her or “conjecture of who I am as a person, is not who I am.” Meanwhile, the “Waiting for Tonight” singer also said she can’t wait to get back to performing for her fans, whom she felt she let down when she canceled her tour.
