Jennifer Lopez Talks Divorce

So Jennifer Lopez has decided to open up about her recent split with Mark Anthony. She gave her first post-divorce interview to Vanity Fair. Excerpts from the interview below.

On what hurts the most about the break-up

That was my biggest dream, and I really worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn’t work—and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love.

On learning how to let go

I’m a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love. It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself—if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now

On how she feels about Marc Anthony now

I will always respect Marc as a singer and performer. We actually work great together, and he was always very supportive. Together we could make magic—and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children.

Well good luck to Ms. Lopez and much success to her and here’s hoping she gets through this trying time with ease and aplomb.
