Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Love in 'Elle UK's October 2014 Issue: 'I Still Believe In Love'

Jennifer Lopez strikes a fierce pose on the cover of Elle UK magazine’s October 2014 issue, out on newsstands on Thursday, September 4!

Here’s what the 45-year-old superstar had to share with the mag:

On love: “Everybody has seen that I make mistakes. Every single album I have ever made is about love. But I am not going to give up. I have to look at what I do wrong. I rush in, I get swept up, I ignore the signs. But so many of us are guilty of these things. Each time it goes wrong it’s hard. I get really hurt but I have to let myself go: ‘What did I do? What can I learn?’ And as hard and as hurtful as things get, I want to believe I will be able to go one step higher. I’ve got to hope that if I keep going I will eventually get it right.”

On whether she’s given up on looking for The One: “No! I still believe in love. The nirvana man, he’s out there somewhere. But you just have to work at it. You have to work at everything.”

On her future career plans: “I like to tick a lot of boxes. I have a five-year plan. I always have a five and a 10-year plan. If this business is about anything, it’s about reinventing yourself. You have to keep moving, taking risks.”
