Despite being on good terms with her ex-husband Marc Anthony (just yesterday the famous pair reunited for some family time with chidlren Emme and Max) Jennifer Lopez says the split was very difficult.

"It was hard," she told the Telegraph. "When Marc and I decided to separate, I thought, 'I'm not going to let this turn me into someone unhopeful who doesn't believe [in love] anymore.' I don't want to just survive it. I wanted to grow from it. And I did learn a lot."

Indeed, the singer has completely bounced back in love and her career. Currently dating dancer-choreographer Casper Smart, the star's biggest battle now is over buzz that her stage costumes are too sexy. Something she has a long history with—dating back to her iconic 2000 Grammy's dress.

"I don't think I'm any racier than any other female pop artist. OK, I'll wear a sexy outfit, but I think it's more because my body shape's a little different to other body shapes, so that's not very fair," the 43-year-old says.
