    Jennifer Lopez doesn't believe she has ever experienced true love

    The 56-year-old star has been married and divorced four times and suggested that the men in her life were "not capable" of giving her the love she truly wanted


    Speaking on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, Jennifer said: "What I learned, is not that I'm not loveable - it's that they're not capable... They don't have it in them.

    "And they gave me what they had. They gave me all of it, every time. All the rings, all the things I could ever want. The houses, the rings, the marriages. All of it. But...."

    The Kiss of the Spider Woman star accepts that part of the problem with her relationships was that " I didn't love myself" at the time.

    JLo separated from actor Ben Affleck after two years of marriage in 2024 and explained that the experience has changed her perspective on life for the better.

    The Let's Get Loud singer said: "When I got divorced this last time, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because it really made me journey into - I mean, I had a religious coach, I had a therapist, a couple's therapist, an individual therapist, I had a coach to understand addiction. I had everything. I was like, 'I'm gonna f*****' figure this s*** out if it kills me.'"

    Lopez, who has 17-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, continued: "Now I'm able to sit here in a much more self-assured, self-aware way of the things that have happened to me, whether my mother, my father, in my own life, how I learned to love, how I felt neglected - all the things that are in your head as a person - and know who I am and just really appreciate that person.

    "(I) feel really comfortable and good in being myself, all the good parts and all the kind of complicated things."

    Jennifer and Ben's divorce was finalised in January and she recently explained how she had had a wonderful summer and is able to find "joy" in life.

    The Hustlers star told CBS Sunday Morning last month: "This summer was probably the best summer I've ever had. I'm able to enjoy things more. I realised that joy is in living ... and really embracing life and everything that it brings to you.

    "The hard times are the lessons and you have to understand that. I feel like, if that [the divorce] hadn't happened, I wouldn't understand that."
