In a new interview with Maria Shriver for the Today Show, Jennifer Lopez admits that Ben Affleck was her first real heartbreak.
According to Us Magazine, Lopez sat down with Shriver to talk about her new book, True Love. In the book, she opens up about her past relationships, including her three marriages, and engagement to Ben Affleck.
In the interview, Shriver talks about how fast Lopez moved on from Affleck to her third husband Marc Anthony, who Lopez has two 6-year-old children with, twins Max and Emme. Lopez responded saying that the break up with Affleck was hard on her, and that Anthony, who was one of her best friends before he was her husband, came to her at a time when she needed someone the most. She added on, however, "What you need to know is, nobody can save you or heal you. Only you can do that for you."
In June, Lopez and her boyfriend of 3 and a half years, Casper Smart, split up. Lopez told Shriver that although she was open to love, she wanted to be on her own for a while in order to learn more about herself.
Lopez was also recently interviewed by Meredith Vieira on her talk show. She told Vieira that she believed her romantic relationships have failed because of her attraction to passion, according to Daily Mail. Regarding the intense, loving feelings at the start of relationships, Lopez said, "As cool as it is in the beginning, it has to sustain beyond that."
The interview with Shriver will be aired on the Today Show on November 3 and 4. Lopez's interview with Vieira will air on The Meredith Vieira Show on November 3.
