Jennifer Lopez Returns To Her Roots

Jennifer Lopez signs autographs for fans as she poses outside of the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday (April 19) in New York City.

The 40-year-old triple threat also stopped by the Today Show to sit down with Matt Lauer.

Jen recently took the cover of the May 2010 issue of Redbook and shared about the effect her children have had on her. “You can’t help but be more thoughtful and more aware after you have kids. I think they’ve made me feel things in a deeper way and that’s enhanced my work,” she said.

“My job deals with feelings, emotions, and expressing them, so I think my kids have actually helped me be better at what I do,” Jen shared. “I feel more confident when I’m working than I ever did before because you have that deeper understanding of life, and that introspection really helps me be better as a writer, singer, actor, whatever. They’ve made me feel things in a deeper and more profound way than I ever did before.”
