Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she doesn't view her divorce from Marc Anthony as a failure.

In a recent interview with ABC News, the 43-year-old opened up about raising her 5-year-old twins in a non-traditional family and how she sometimes lets society's standards get the best of her.

"I am a non-traditional family," she said. "Me being a single mom, their dad doesn't live at home with them. They have three stepbrothers from two other moms…that's not traditional."

But the busy mama makes sure to instill love and acceptance into her childrens' lives.

"It's about love and that's what I constantly remind myself of because I kind of let society get inside my head, 'Oh, it should be like this. I did this, I did that. I failed.'"

Lopez went on to say, "It's like, no. They're happy, they're healthy, they're loved more than anything in the world and they're going to be fine. I want them to know that."

But is the singer thinking about keeping tradition and walking down the aisle with her beau Casper Smart in the near future?

"Not anytime soon," Lopez admitted.

"He's fantastic, he's like my best friend. I can tell him everything, when I'm feeling down, when I'm feeling good. He gives moral support, endless love and support."
