Jennifer has also been making headlines for her recent split from husband of seven years, Marc Anthony.
In the September issue of Vanity Fair hitting newsstands this week, Jennifer dished, ”I’m a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love.”
And if you think she and Marc left each other on bad terms, think again. Speaking with utmost respect, she stated, ”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.”
