Jennifer Lopez Dines Downtown

Jennifer Lopez is escorted as she heads into the Bowery Hotel in downtown NYC on Monday (March 9) to have dinner with her longtime manager Benny Medina.

The 39-year-old singer/actress recently spoke about how she could empathize with some of Britney Spears‘ problems and tumultuous times that were publicized last year. “I understood the pressure she was going through, having been through a divorce, having money, having people depend on you. It will destroy you,” she told In Touch.

Jennifer added, “I understood the pressure she was going through, having been through a divorce, having money, having people depend on you. It will destroy you.” She also shared about how she deals with issues in her own marriage. “If one of us has a complaint, the other one has to listen, no matter how difficult. We have to see if we care enough to change it and if we do care, then we have to change it.”
