Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Balancing Personal and Professional Life

Jennifer Lopez, the multi-talented superstar, opened up about her personal and professional life at the premiere of her new film “Shotgun Wedding” on Wednesday night. Lopez, who is a mother of two and stepmother to Ben Affleck’s three children, shared her struggles with balancing home life and career.

In an exclusive interview with People, Lopez revealed, “I’m not one to share my angst. I don’t feel like that’s my life as a performer. You always show the best of you. But I’m a human being like everybody else, and I suffer in silence at times.”

The singer also discussed her upcoming album, “This Is Me … Now,” and the importance of being authentic as an artist. She shared, “I have an album coming out, and I’ve been thinking a lot about that — like, what parts of myself do I share with my audience? And what it means to be an artist and to be authentic.”

Lopez hinted at several other projects in the works beyond music and her new rom-com, which streams on Amazon Prime starting Jan. 27. She expressed her excitement for the upcoming year, saying, “Lots to come this year. Let’s just put it that way. A lot of sharing and artistic things that I think are going to be revelatory for people.”

Regarding her blended family with Ben Affleck, Lopez shared that they have five beautiful children and feel blessed and grateful for where they are in their lives. The couple tied the knot in July 2022.

With her new film, album, and various projects on the horizon, Jennifer Lopez continues to inspire and connect with her fans through her authenticity and vulnerability.
