Jennifer Lopez admits after her split from Casper Smart last year, she made the conscious choice to be alone for a while. After every split, she has found solace in a new relationship and she has now recognized that unhealthy pattern.
During an interview with People, for which she posed on the cover with her 6-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, Max and Emme, she said she’s now seeking self-love.
“I had to make a commitment to myself to be alone: no flirting. No possibility of anything. No boys in any way, shape or form. I said, 'I'm shutting it down.’ I'd never been alone,” she said about becoming single after her split from Smart.
Lopez and Anthony split in 2011 and their divorce was just finalized in 2014. He has since gone on to marry model Shannon de Lima.
"I always found my comfort in another person," she continued. "Instead of giving myself time to heal and be on my own, I was so afraid to be that I was always like, 'Okay somebody else just come in here and help me forget I'm in so much pain.' "
Though she’s “not looking” for love right now, Lopez – who’s been divorced 3 times – said she does "still believe in the fairy tale.”
