Jennifer Lopez claims that she gets the best out of each of her breakups.
Appearing on the latest episode of SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma, Lopez shared his philosophy of dealing when relationships end.
“I just feel like the biggest growth spurts I’ve had emotionally, mentally, psychologically have always come from a heartbreak,” Lopez explained.
“And that’s not just in romantic relationships, that’s in work heartbreaks, all of it,” Lopez continued. “It’s the only time you dig. You’re like, ‘What the f— happened? How do I do this? Why do I keep doing this? Or why didn’t that happen? What could I have done better?’ You change yourself.”
According to Lopez, the “heartbreakers” are those who have issues.
“Because if you go around your life and you’re like, you know, breaking hearts, let’s say, and you’re the one who’s like never feeling anything, you’re the loser,” Lopez said. “You’re never learning anything.”
Instead of staying in your feelings, Lopez said that there should be a celebration.
We should have a party,” she suggested. “People should say, ‘You broke up? Congratulations.’ Because one, you made a decision. Two, it was probably the best thing for everybody.”
During an appearance on Today, Lopez revealed she’s attracted to different kinds of men.
The next man who comes into her life may not necessarily look like a Hollywood hunk, she suggested.
“I don’t discriminate,” Lopez confessed to Rahma. “I like skinny guys, I like a little chunk around the middle, I like beards, and I like clean shape. It doesn’t matter. I like the person inside.”
