Despite being one of the sexiest women in the world,
Jennifer Lopez hasn't been the luckiest in love. But even with three divorces and a failed engagement under her belt, the optimistic star has told
ELLE UK that she has not given up on finding
'The One'. Jennifer, 45, said:
'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.'
The mother-of-two was left humiliated when it was claimed that her most recent ex, 27-year-old dancer
Casper Smart, had cheated on her with a transgender woman. Although he furiously denied the claims, she ended the relationship of two and a half years in June.
'Everybody has seen that I make mistakes,' Jennifer added, reflecting over her past relationships.
'I rush in, I get swept up and 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?" 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.'
Opening up about life as a single mum, Jennifer said that it's 'not easy'.
'I’m from a traditional background. It takes two people to make a kid for a reason. It’s tough because I know they feel the void of that male presence. 'When Marc and I first broke up, I did think: "I wish I could have held this together." But when you realise 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?"'
Jennifer's full interview appears in the October issue of
ELLE UK, on sale 4th September. Also available as a digital edition. Fans can also check out her exclusive behind-the-scenes shoot in at
