Jennifer Lopez: "I've Made Mistakes With Men"

Jennifer Lopez confessed in the October issue of Elle UK that she has made mistakes in her past affairs, but that doesn't mean she is shying away from love.


"Everybody has seen that I make mistakes," Lopez, 45, revealed to the mag, noting: "Every single album I have ever made is about love. But I am not going to give up."

Lopez, who has tied the knot three times, explained: "I have to look at what I do wrong. I rush in, I get swept up, I ignore the signs. But so many of us are guilty of these things."

"Each time it goes wrong it's hard. I get really hurt but I have to let myself go: "What did I do? What can I learn?"" Lopez claimed, pointing out: "And as hard and as hurtful as things get, I want to believe I will be able to go one step higher. I've got to hope that if I keep going I will eventually get it right."




Jennifer declared: "I still believe in love. The nirvana man, he's out there somewhere. But you just have to work at it. You have to work at everything."

Lopez, who has 6-year-old twins Emme and Max, admitted it's "not easy" being a single mother.




"I'm from a traditional background. It takes two people to make a kid for a reason," Lopez went on, adding: "It's tough because I know they feel the void of that male presence."

Jennifer was quoted as saying: "When Marc (Anthony) and I first broke up, I did think: "I wish I could have held this together." But when you realize it's not the right thing for anybody, you think: "OK, well how do we make this work, how do we make this better, how do we make this great for the children anyway?""

Lopez is teaching her kids to respect their family and their unbelievably good luck.

"My kids go and stay in a one-bedroom apartment in the Bronx all the time, or a studio with their aunts, uncles and cousins and their grandmother," Lopez stated, claiming: "They get it."



Jennifer concluded: "The great thing about actually becoming successful is that my family - who grew up sharing beds - come and stay, and everyone has their own room and their own shower."
