Jennifer Lopez Talks Divorce, Finding Love Again In 'Glamour'

Though Jennifer Lopez recently split from Marc Anthony after 7 years of marriage, their pending divorce (her third!) has apparently taught her a valuable lesson.

"You've got to love yourself first," Lopez says in Glamour's December issue, on newsstands November 8. "And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship."

On Tuesday, the actress and singer told "The Insider's" Kevin Frazier that she is not closed off to the possibility of remarriage, but that it's "too early for that."

"I'm just a girl like anybody else, looking for what she's looking for, hoping for the best and knowing that if somebody great comes along, great," she said. "If not, I'm still fine, everything's fine."

But if she does decide to settle down again, she told Glamour she'd do things differently: "I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye. You know the media -- they want to rush everything."

Lopez and Anthony have two children, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme. Click through the slides below for a timeline of their life together:

J lo you make excuse after excuse for your failed relationships. I actually thought this one was going to make it due to the fact you were out of the public eye and you didn't rush into it and apparently you knew Marc Anthony for many many years. Here is some pointers..first off don't go backwards. If it didn't work in the past with these guys it won't work now. Two stop telling us your darn business. As far as we are concerned the only thing we need to know is when your album, movie, or perfume is coming out. Three stop trying to stay young with these back up dancers..they only one to hit it and split, there are spas for that uplifting feeling your seeking. Four, yes dear love yourself but only after you know who you are and why you make these decisions. Forget love, marriage and work on you and a positive relationship with your kids.

Maybe this time she'll pick someone a little less rodent-like in features.

You can tell that JLO is very self aborbed, but arnt they all, you have to be narcissistic to be in the limelight. I think her and Marc Anthony's problem goes deeper than this. I think the decision to divorce was a quick one, when just a month before they were talking more kids, buying more homes and doing business ventures together, so what happened??? Someone got caught cheating, the notorious womanizer is little Marc, he seems to want to spread his seeds all over, with many women claiming he is the Father of their kids. If its not cheating, then its a drug or drinking problem or both. I dont think Jennifer would put up with a waundering Marc. Her ego is too big. I dont know the inside of what happened, nobody does, but it was quick and a response to something that just was found out.

You seem like a reasonable woman, but somehow you turned JLo into a victim. Amusing.

If Jennifer Lopez gets married again, Jennifer Lopez deserves what she will get.

3 marriages and has now learned you have to love yourself? Something people may not understand is the body is a shell or a vessel? Women can look good from the outside looking in but it's what comes from the inside out that matters. Looks don't last and why get married multiple times? It's not like the vows or choice of spouse mean anything. That's been established. Now of course I'm making a general statement.

Like anybody else, huh? Why is it that I bet her next beau will just happen to be another rich celebrity...?

JLO says she is going to do things differently...How so? She is not divorced yet an she is already out with B. Cooper. I don't know what she means but this is the same script. A new man is right there after a break-up for photo-ops. Try going it alone for awhile!!

I used to think JLo was very down-to-earth - not a glamour-above-us-all-diva-type - until I saw her judge American Idol, where she was clearly intimidated by the talent of one of the female finalists - a finalist that didn't need Auto Tune technology to sing on key, a squad of professional dancers, a massive pyrotechnics rig, colossal lighting and sound systems, dazzling designer costumes, hair and makeup by the best artists out there, and so on - you'd think that, "the most beautiful woman in the world" would be able to sustain a relationship - but that would mean she's have to stop staring in the mirror all day.

what a nauseating person she is. not only is she not that pretty, he immaturity and her impulsivity, even after having kids is ridiculous. she broke up skeletors marriage to take up with him and now she walks off, leaving her own kids with a broken family as well?

J Lo, please move on, in fact move away, far far away. Your track record for marriages and bed hopping is nothing to be proud of. Just say bye bye, please!

Bradley Cooper is just another Hollywood hanger-on who wants to ride the J-Low train to more celebrity and notoriety and there is no faster route than this careening Maserati splattered with botox, silicon and hair bleach.

Bradley, he be's no dummy.

J-Low? That's another pathetic story.

P.S. Her kids? Not a big concern for this "star".
She's got too many photo-ops to pose in...sad.

if bradley is in it to 'hit it and quit it' then more power to him

but if he wants a 'relationship' with her, she'll chew him up and spit him out
