Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her painful realization after her divorce from Ben Affleck, admitting she never really felt loved the way she wanted.
The singer and actress, who finalized her divorce from the actor earlier this year, said the end of their relationship made her take a deep look at herself and the way she views love.
In an emotional moment, Jennifer confessed that for a long time she believed that love meant giving everything to someone else, while forgetting her own needs.
The Unstoppable star explained that she spent years trying to be perfect in her relationships, but never felt fully accepted for who she is.
“I think I spent a lot of time proving my worth through love,” she said, adding that heartbreak often pushed her to rediscover herself.
Jennifer’s wedding to Ben was seen by many as a fairytale reunion after their romance in the early 2000s, but their story took another painful turn.
Despite the heartbreak, the actress said she is learning to focus on self-love and acceptance.
Friends close to the star said she has found peace by spending time alone and creating new music inspired by her personal growth.
“She’s finally choosing herself,” a source revealed.
However, Jennifer’s fans flooded her social media with support, praising her honesty and strength after such a public breakup.
