Jennifer Lopez has recently opened up about the challenges she’s faced in her relationships, especially in the wake of her divorce from Ben Affleck.
In an interview with Variety, the 55-year-old actress drew parallels between herself and the character she portrays, Judy Robles, in the movie Unstoppable:
“We were kindred spirits,” Lopez said. “We both grew up Latina in this country. We both had children and have hopes and dreams for them.”
The ex-wife of Affleck continued, “Both of us have had challenging relationships, which left us holding our ‘families together’.
The singer-actress also shared her insights on womanhood, emphasizing the innate strength women possess:
“Women have to be strong from the moment they ‘are born.’ Women are strong. We have to be,” Lopez stated.
“From the minute women are born,” she added, “We’re always having to prove ourselves, to show we’re good enough.”
