Jennifer Lopez Reveals How Marc Anthony Helped Her Overcome Insecurity

They top our list of Most Amicable Celebrity Divorces for a reason!!

It’s been two years since Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony publicly announced their decision to go separate ways, but the duo remain loving toward one another.

J.Lo can even credit Marc for her accomplished sense of confidence in the October 2013 issue of Cosmo. Something most celebrities would omit!

But yes, despite her fierceness on the stage and behind the camera, Jenny from the Block admits she’s been a fragile flower in the past. And it was until Marc really dug her self-love out of her that she could feel proud of herself, confessing:

“It was after I had kids to be honest├óΓé¼┬ªThe biggest insecurity I had was my singing. Even though I had sold 70 million records, there was this feeling like, I├óΓé¼Γäóm not good at this. And while I was married to Marc, he helped me get over it. He kept telling me, ‘You├óΓé¼Γäóre the only one holding yourself back from reaching your full potential as a singer. You have to let go’ ├óΓé¼┬ªI was always so insecure and just kind of going along. Then I grew, little by little, and realized, wait a minute, this is not a fluke. I├óΓé¼Γäóm not a mistake ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ I work my ass off. And I know what I├óΓé¼Γäóm doing.”

Nice!! Thank goodness gurl, because all the praise is WELL deserved!!

Decades in the making, J.Lo is a legend and today she’s about to embark on a new American Idol journey with Harry Connick Jr while she also promotes her TWENTIETH fragrance! That’s some career dedication!!
