JenniferLopez is getting candid about her personal life in a new interview with Vogue, where she discusses everything from married life with #BenAffleck to co-parenting and why she believes her relationships in the past ultimately failed.
The mother of two, who married Ben back in July, admits that she felt as if she was persistently putting other people’s needs before her own, which had slowly but surely led to an unhealthy love life.
“I just didn’t understand what it was to care for myself, to not put somebody else’s feelings and needs,” she said. Jennifer proceeded by adding that it became a constant pattern in her relationships, which she described as a pretzel, that never ended until she began to ask herself why she never felt fulfilled with the person she was with. “At a certain point you go, ‘Wait, this doesn’t feel good. Why am I never happy? Finally I was just like, It’s time to figure me out.’”
Further on, JLo opened up on what tempted her to give her romance with Ben another chance following her split from Alex Rodriguez. But the New Yorker stresses that her feelings for her now-husband never subsided because she had always deemed him to have been quite a “special person” in her life. “I always felt like there was a real love there, a true love there. When we reconnected, those feelings for me were still very real.”
