Jennifer Lopez says she doesn’t ‘really count’ her first two marriages and yeah, same

Didn’t happen, mate.

Jennifer Lopez has said that she doesn’t “really count” her first two marriages as being legit because they were so short and yeah, fair enough like.

J-Lo, who is currently engaged to boyfriend of two years Alex Rodriguez, said that this time around, she would like to get married in a church because she had never done that before.

”I’d like a big wedding and I’d like to get married in a church this time,” she said on a behind-the-scenes video for her It’s My Party tour.

”I’ve never been married in a church and I’ve been married three times, and once was nine months and once was 11 months, so I don’t really count those. But I was married to Marc [Anthony] for 10 years, with the kids.”

Rodriquez will be J-Lo’s fourth husband.

She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, Chris Judd from 2001 to 2003, and Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014.

She and Marc are parents to 11-year-old twins Maximilian and Emme – and seeing as their marriage lasted more than one whole year, it clearly means a lot more to the 49-year-old singer.

”I was very young the first two times I tried to get married. I’m saying ‘try’ to get married,” she explained. ”It seems like in this life, you’re always surrounded by people – you’re never lonely.

“But it’s very lonely so you always want somebody with you.”

”So, I felt like if I got married, I felt like I would always have somebody,” she said. “But that’s not how life works. That’s not how it goes.”

”It’s a bad reason to get married. Not the right one. The wrong one. The right one is when you find somebody who really makes you better.”

Lopez was also engaged to Ben Affleck in late 2002, though they called off the wedding the following year.

She and Rodriquez got engaged in March of this year.
