Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her struggles with love and self-acceptance, just as her reunion with ex-husband Ben Affleck continues to make headlines
The pop icon shared vulnerable reflections on her past relationships and what she’s learned from them over the years.
During her recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Jennifer Lopez was asked whether she’s ever truly been loved. After a thoughtful pause, she responded, “No,” though she added that she has “truly loved someone else.”
