Jennifer Lopez is the ultimate symbol of girl power. Apparently, the successful actress and singer said she sees nothing wrong with dating younger men. How cool is that?
The 45-year-old former American Idol judge is the cover of the January issue of Self magazine. In the publication, she opened up about coming to terms with her addiction to love and also discusses about her status symbol as a cougar. According to the Maid in Manhattan actress, "When you have that much pain, you have to anesthetize yourself in some ways. People do different things." She the continued to tell the magazine, "Some go out and party and sleep around, but that's just not my way. I found the comfort in someone else. That's called being a love addict."
JLo has been married three times and she says she copes with pain by being there for someone else. The singer had dated stars like Sean Combs, Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony.
The I Luh Ya Papi singer had started dating her 27-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart after her split from ex-husband Marc Anthony back in 2014. While she made the headlines back then because she dated someone much younger than her, she still does not understand why it is being considered such a big deal when women date younger men.
She added, "All the old clichés about women need to be undone, enough already. We're in the other position now. We are desirable older, we can date younger guys and it's not this big taboo. Men have been doing this for years, and it's no big deal." Currently, Lopez said she has finally learned to love herself and she is ready to lake a leap. "I want to prove to everyone that I can do everything and be a superwoman. But I have to take time for myself."
