Jennifer Lopez Talks About Being Worn Out on 'American Idol'

Though it was confirmed this week that Jennifer Lopez is returning to American Idol next season, the Puerto Rican superstar told People.com that there was a point towards the end of last season, where she was completely worn out. “I got a little bit tired at the end with everything going on in my life at the time,” Lopez said.

Two months after the show's finale aired on FOX, Lopez and her ex husband Marc Anthony announced via a joint statement that they would be filing for divorce.

At a news conference in Georgia, where Idol is currently taping, Lopez shared her sentiments on her role in the show, describing it as “one of the best things I’ve ever been involved with.”  She also said she enjoyed working with her fellow judges on the hit singing competition.  “I was like, ‘Okay, I’m gonna do it again,’” she said.

Jennifer Lopez Waiting For New Love (Vanity Fair September 2011)

Jennifer Lopez knows what love is and despite the fact she’s been married three times and had even more relationships she says she is still an ‘eternal optimist’ about this incredible feeling. After she announced her split from husband Marc Anthony Jennifer has been talking about how tough their marriage has been but it is quite clear the singer is strong enough to continue living and is waiting for the new man, more loving and caring, who could be a great father to her two children, Max and Emme. In the interview for Vanity Fair September 2011 issue, which she covers with grace, Jennifer tells a lot about what didn’t work between her and Marc.

Posing for the cover of Vanity Fair September 2011 issue in a sexy white dress that shows off her perfect cleavage Jennifer Lopez looks amazing. And she looks as great on a picture inside the magazine where the star wears only a fur coat but a really luxurious one. These photographs demonstrate us Jennifer’s protest to Marc Anthony’s attempts to make her look more demure. The singer told in the interview it was hard for her to always compromise herself and comply to demands of her now ex-husband.

She said:

    I’m a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love. It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.”

When Jennifer Lopez was interviewed by Vanity Fair about her personal life the announcement of her split from Marc Anthony hadn’t been made yet. But already then the singer didn’t want to pretend everything was all right in her family. She hinted that divorce might be on the way:

    This was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did.”


She mentioned the evolution of their relationship was rather traditional:

    When we were [first] married, most of the time, and even before the babies were born, we were able to go everywhere together. I wasn’t working as much. So we kind of had that. ‘I went on tour with him a few times in the first few years of our marriage, and we did a film El Cantante together. It’s hard, and we’re figuring it out. It’s tough. Like I said, we had the first three years of our marriage just for us. I wasn’t working, it was mainly about him. Then we got pregnant. Then it became about the kids. And then I started working again.”


Jennifer Lopez says any marriage is a hard work but no matter what happens the two have to stay friends and respect each other:

    Marriage is tough. It’s not going to be perfect…It’s definitely challenging.”

    I will always respect Marc as a singer and performer. We actually work great together, and he was always very supportive. Together we could make magic – and we did. He will always be in our lives. He will always hold a special place in my heart as the father of my children.”

How Ben Affleck Helped Jennifer Lopez With Crumbling Marriage

Ben will always be in Jen's corner.

Although Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck famously called off their engagement and 18-month romance in January 2004, the actor was happy to help as his ex's 7-year marriage to Marc Anthony was falling apart.

Guadalupe Lopez, the singer-actress's mother (and plus-one at the July 9 BAFTA bash with the royals in Hollywood), sought Affleck's advice on July 12, multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday. "Guadalupe reached out to Ben over email. She wanted advice for Jennifer," reveals a source.

"She always liked and trusted him. [Ben] replied back on email, wished her well and offered what he could," the source says of Affleck, 38, now happily married with two daughters to Jennifer Garner. (Lopez, now 41, wed Latin crooner Anthony, 42, just months after she and Affleck split.)

Three days after that secret email exchange with Affleck, Lopez and Anthony announced the end of their union in a joint statement. "It was a very bad marriage, and Jennifer got the courage to end things," an insider says, adding, "[Marc] was a terrible husband."


At issue: Anthony's raging jealousy over Lopez's career, his compulsion to control everything from her business endeavors and even her famous wardrobe, and, according to multiple sources, at least one extra-marital affair in 2009.

And despite her ultra-glamourous, ultra-confident persona in the public eye, Lopez "actually has low self-esteem," one pal explains. "And Marc really played into that insecurity. That's why she put up with his abuse for such a long time."


For much more on the shocking split -- what's at stake, their money squabbles, who will get 3-year-old twins Max and Emme and whether she's ready to date again -- pick up the new Us Weekly, out today.
