During an interview at the Today Show, the singer and actress Jennifer Lopex revealed that her first real heartbreak was with Ben Affleck, after they called off their engagement in January 2004. JLo opened up about her break-up with Ben and the end of her marriage to Marc Anthony which referred as explosive, tumultuous and passionate. She had recently written her own book.
Bennifer began dating in 2002, but parted ways right before they were about to get married after a couple of year later.
She further admits in her book True Love, "It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest. And when the realisation that I wasn't going to have the fairytale family I wanted really set in, well, that was when I really started to fall apart."
Then Marc went back to her life. They worked together in a song entitled No Me Ames back in the 90's and was introduced in 1998 at the backstage of a Broadway production, the first words came out of Marc lips are, "One day you're going to be my wife".
Jennifer got married with Marc, five months after her break-up with Ben. She further explained, "He was warm and funny, a brilliant singer who knew how to make me feel special. He was so sure of everything, and at this moment, when I felt so lost, so broken and alone, there he was."
She thought that she found her fairytale with March, but it didn't turn out that she hopes it to be.
She confesses, "Things between Marc and me weren't perfect. Our marriage was never the kind to glide along peacefully. From the beginning it was tumultuous, passionate and explosive." Although, they worked very hard to save their marriage, after seven years of keeping the knot tied, they agreed to file for a divorce.
"My own happiness and sense of self-worth depended on how happy he was. So when Marc stated so clearly he wasn't happy, it broke me down completely."
Now, she is happy to reveal that she has found herself and focusing on her kids and career. When asked about her former husband, Marc's engagement to Shannon De Lima this week, she answered, "I'm happy for him." She still believe in love and the right person will come when she's ready.
