Jennifer Lopez: ‘Everything’ I do is for my children

Jennifer Lopez says “everything” she does is in support of her children.

The 47-year-old singer and actress has eight-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian from her former marriage to music producer Marc Anthony, and has said that her life has stopped being all about “me, me, me” since she gave birth as she instead focuses her efforts on making “them happy”.

The Boy Next Door actress said: “Everything I do is for them.

“Once you have kids, it’s a whole different world. You go along as an actress or performer in this business and it’s (always) ‘Me, me, me. My business, my career, my things. What am I going to do next?’

“When you have kids it becomes not about you, it becomes about them and what’s going to make them happy and what’s going to make them better, and what’s going to be better for them.”

And the Ain’t Your Mama hitmaker admits she’s scared of “failing” her children.

She added: “Your whole (life) changes and it’s this beautiful, freeing kind of loving feeling.

“Things get, in a way, easier, because you know what’s important. But also harder, because you just don’t want to ever fail them.”

Jennifer — who is reportedly in a relationship with 30-year-old rapper Drake — says she’s thankful to have “wonderful people” in her life so that she doesn’t have to do anything alone, and is pleased she can take things “one day at a time”.
