She recently had her say while speaking to Interview magazine, and fans have been reacting.
According to Lopez, however, being in a relationship doesn’t define her in any way, and a relationship with herself is the most important thing for her right now.
JLo added that she cannot keep looking for happiness in other people when she has happiness within.
Her words, “Everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f**king do when it’s just me flying on my own … what if I’m just free?
When you sit in those feelings and go, ‘These things are not going to kill me,’ it’s like, ‘Actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself,’
I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself.
We think, ‘I have to have that to be whole and happy.’ And you don’t.
I think we tend to get away from [that] at times, when you’re wrapped up with other people.”
WOW.
