Having been through a painful marriage breakup and a number of past relationships that all went down the drain one after the other, Jennifer Lopez has picked up a neat lesson in love.
She realized that she needs love to overcome a failed love. But instead of looking for somebody else to give her that love to completely heal and forget a past love, she needs to discover the love within herself to overcome her emotional dilemma.
Given her high-profile stature as a triple threat celebrity, all the relationships of Jennifer Lopez has never been secret to the public.
Single again
After the official dissolution of her marriage to Marc Anthony last year, the 45-year-old J-Lo began dating 27-year-old actor Casper Smart.
Just recently, they split and she is now single again. But as part of her post-breakup rule, J-Lo said she is now giving herself time. She needs to be alone and that there has to be no flirting with other man and no possibility of falling into another relationship, reports Yahoo! Celebrity.
She admits that she is now ready and willing to shut down herself from men after a breakup. Unlike before when she draws comfort and solace from a man after coming off a failed relationship, she is no longer committing the same mistake again in her life.
Jennifer Lopez said that she was wrong in thinking that she will find comfort in another person or that she can get fulfilment in love from somebody else after a failed relationship. She reveals that she was afraid to be alone so if she’s in pain and somebody comes along to help her ease and forget the pain, she falls for the person right away.
But not anymore, says the “American Idol” judge who will soon be appearing in the upcoming movie “The Boy Next Door.”
Moving on without a man
The mother of six-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian, J-Lo said that she has made a decision to move on from a past relationship without any man beside him to help her through her ordeal.
She realized that at the end of the day, it is not the new man in her life that would help her move on and forget the pains of a failed relationship but the love insider her. J-Lo adds that she cannot find that love from others but only within herself, and that is the most important thing for her to move on with her life.
While she has been through numerous relationships that never lasted for more than seven years, Jennifer Lopez still believes that a lasting love will eventually find its way to her.
The “Booty” singer says that she is still open to dating but she will focus more on herself to be able to give a meaningful relationship so that she can finally get the fairy tale love that she has been dreaming of for so long – a love that can last forever.
