American pop superstar and actress Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her emotional struggles in love, revealing she’s never truly felt loved the way she’s always desired.
J.Lo, who opened up in a recent interview on SiriusXM’s “Howard Stern Show,” which was aired on Thursday, said that despite her high-profile romances and marriages, she often felt emotionally unfulfilled. “I don’t think I ever really felt loved the way I wanted to,” she said, adding that many of her past partners “just weren’t capable of giving love at that level.”
