Jennifer Lopez shares how she bounced back from ‘tough’ Marc Anthony divorce
Jennifer Lopez is not shying away from talking about her divorce anymore. She recently opened up about her divorce from ex Marc Anthony. The former couple, who are parents to twins, Max and Emme, divorced in 2014 after 10 years of marriage, leaving the pop icon heartbroken. However, she shared the secret on how she bounced back from the “tough” time with her fans at the Las Vegas residency show on Friday.
“After my third divorce, that’s when I really started getting good at it,” Lopez initially joked, as seen in footage from @jpasc24’s Instagram. “Seriously, that’s not funny,” the Grammy nominee continued, before explaining that “it was actually a really tough time. I was really about to give up on it all. I was a single mom with two 3-year-old twins.”
The diva recalled how her late mentor, Louise Hay, helped her deal with the situation and encouraged the singer to move on with her life. “She said to me, ‘Jennifer, you’re a dancer, right?’ I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ She said, ‘When you’re learning a dance and you get the steps wrong, what do you do?’ I said, ‘I just keep going till I get the steps right.’ She said, ‘That’s right, Jennifer. Always keep dancing.’”
Lopez then advised the same to her audience, saying, “I wish the same for each and every one of you, that no matter what life throws at you, you dance and you dance and you dance, again and again and again,” Lopez said, as the audience cheered. Other than ex Anthony, Lopez was also previously married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Ben Affleck.
