Smokin' Hot! Jennifer Lopez showed off her amazingly toned physique in the February-March 2015 issue of Complex Magazine. She also opened up about her experiences in life and slammed sexism comments. Moreover, the 45-year-old singer-actress spoke about her divorces and being a single mom to her 6-year-old twins, Emme and Max.
Jennifer Lopez is considered as one of the entertainment industry's A-list stars. She had carved out her regal status in Hollywood from her successful and remarkable careers in music and acting. Though she had been labeled as a royal, E! News revealed that she "felt out of place" at the beginning.
"I always felt out of place in Hollywood," JLo told Complex Magazine. "But the streets smarts I had from growing up in New York served me well out here."
Jennifer Lopez also opened up about how her divorces made her to never give up on love. And despite her unlucky love life, the "Booty" singer admitted that she still believes in fairytales. She also added that she sees herself as "a brave warrior princess who keep going, no matter what."
"Deep down I am a romantic-and much more traditional than probably anybody would imagine," she stated. "I believe in the whole fairy tale, and I'm not ashamed to say it."
JLo then stressed that though she believes in fairytales and happily-ever-afters, she wanted her children to the most important thing, which is to have "a great sense of self."
"I want them to have fantasies and the fairy tales and all that, but at the same time I want them to know what is important, which is to have a great sense of self and to be good on their own," Jennifer Lopez told Complex.
During the Complex Magazine interview, Jennifer Lopez also slammed about Hollywood's double standards and sexism.
"The rumors at that time were so endless. I still haven't figured that all out completely," JLo said. "I've thought sometimes, 'Was it because I was a woman? Was it because I was a minority?' I was like, 'Why me? Why are they picking on me so much? What have I done?' It's funny. Men get praise when they are successful, like, 'Look how great he's doing.' Women get criticized for some reason. I don't understand it. All I know is that because I've stuck around for so long people realize, 'Oh, that must not be true. We finally got to know the real her.'"
And in an interview with Ellen Degeneres, Lopez expressed her dismay about being labeled as a "cougar," Cosmopolitan UK revealed.
"I hate they have a label for a woman who would date a younger guy," JLo candidly explained. "If a younger guy is interested in you, what's the big deal? What's the word for the man who's after young girls? I'm not after younger guys. If younger guys like me then that's one thing. There's like guys who just go after younger women. They have no name. No label. And you can date one person. Label."
And when it comes to getting older, Jennifer Lopez has just only one thing to say.
"I feel great about being able to do everything that I did in my 20s better now," Jennifer Lopez concluded the interview. That's what happens as you mature, you get better. You have more experience. And I'm proud of that."
