Jennifer Lopez makes it too easy to love her. Let’s all please take a moment to applaud her for her latest performance. No — not for her singing, acting, or her incredible dancing skills — but because she just made the most hilarious and savage comment ever. Lopez recently opened up to her fans by sharing new behind-the-scenes footage from her mini-documentary “It’s My Party: Showtime!” while on the road for her 50th birthday tour. She opened up about her past, her show preparations, and of course, Alex Rodriguez. J. Lo even shared details on her upcoming wedding with A. Rod (“the one”) , who proposed in March after more than two years together. “Now it’s been three years now,” the mother of two said of her romance with the former MLB player. “[We’ll get married] soon, not soon-soon, but next year.” “I’d like a big wedding, I’d like to get married in a church this time. Never been married in a church,” she shared. The singer then got real about an area we’re all interested in, whether we like to admit it or not — her long list of ex lovers. Over the course of her career, she’s reportedly dated Diddy, Ben Affleck, Casper Smart, back-up dancer Cris Judd and Drake (!) . To name just a few. The Second Act star has also been previously married… three times. But it’s all good because she informed us that her first two marriages didn’t even count. (Cue applause). While Lopez was busy filling us all in on her wedding plans, she took a moment to explain why she was married three times prior to Rodriguez. For those of you who don’t know, J. Lo was married twice before her marriage to Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 11-year-old twins Max and Emme. The first was to a waiter in 1997 and then to a dancer in 2001. “I’ve been married three times, and one was nine months and one was 11 months, so I don’t really count those ,” she said. “But I was married to Marc for 10 years, with the kids.” “I was very young the first two times I tried to get married,” she reasoned while laughing. “I’m saying tried .” She also went on to admit that she tends to want to be with someone who is around all the time. “It seems like in this life you’re always surrounded by people, you’re never lonely — but it’s very lonely,” she said. “So you always want somebody with you. “And I felt like if I got married, I felt like I would always have somebody, but that’s not how life works,” she added. Ultimately, she acknowledged that getting married for the company was “a bad reason.” But luckily with A. Rod, things are different. This will mark Jen’s fourth ( sorry, second) walk down the aisle — but she knows this marriage will last because she’s getting married to someone who makes her a better person. “The right one is when you find somebody who makes you better,” she said. We’re very happy for J. Lo and that she finally found the right guy! And from the looks of their adorable and happy blended family , we are sure things will work out in Lopez’s favor this *second* time around.
