Although most celebrities go through very public disputes when it comes to divorce, Jennifer Lopez chose a more civilized manner to split from her husband of 7 years and baby daddy, Marc Anthony. She reveals to the magazine that it was her ex husband that helped build-up her confidence and helped her realize that she's good at what she does. She told Vogue that:

“He always told me what a beautiful voice I have. He was like, ‘It’s in there; you just gotta let it out. It’s a confidence thing with you.’ Then all of a sudden one day I was like, I’m good at this! Oh, man! People are not giving me jobs because they feel sorry for me! I am an actress. I am a singer. I am a performer. That’s what I do! Once I started giving myself a little credit, the whole world opened up.”

After her divorce, the media revealed that Jennifer has moved on and began a relationship with one of her back-up dancers, Casper Smart. Apparently, the singer is very happy with her new beau as she revealed to the magazine that:

“He’s adorable. But you already see that... He really is. He’s a good egg. I don’t want to talk about it too much. It’s my private thing.”

Along time, Jennifer Lopez proved that she's a fighter and she underlined this side of her on the cover of V Magazine's Sports Issue 2012, where she posed donning some masculine boxer briefs and took a fierce position. Although staying strong is a must in the entertainment business, Jennifer reveals that she's not all that tough inside. She says:

“By nature I am not tough, believe it or not... I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he’s pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen. But my son will just scream and yell and run. I’m like, Aaaaah, what do I do with this?!”
