Jennifer Lopez is in her feels!

Beginning her speech, the 52-year-old explained:
“I want to thank all the people who gave me this life. I want to thank the people who gave me joy, and the ones who broke my heart. The ones who were true, and the ones who lied to me. I want to thank true love, and I want to thank the way that I lied to myself, because that’s how I knew that I had to grow. I want to thank disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong.”
Wow! What an unusual but thought-provoking thank you list! The overjoyed Marry Me star then went on to reference her 14-year-old twins, Max and Emme (who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony), sweetly saying:
“And my children for teaching me to love.”
Aw!! The singer broke down in tears thinking about her kiddos, but that show of emotion earned her a huge round of applause from the supportive live audience. After collecting herself, Jennifer thanked her haters for helping her get to where she is today, continuing:
“I want to thank all the people who told me, to my face — or when I wasn’t in the room — that I couldn’t do this. I really don’t think I could’ve done it without you. And I know I couldn’t have done it without the fans who saw the movies. You are the reason that I am here and that I have been here, and I love you!”
Speaking of love, she couldn’t help but publicly call out the love of her life!

“Ben and everybody at home, wait for me to have dinner. I will be home by 7!”
