I've made mistakes: Jennifer Lopez on her love life

Jennifer Lopez feels she made many mistakes in her personal life after her three failed marriages, a high-profile broken engagement and recent split from Casper Smart.

The 45-year-old mother of two said she is self-aware enough to learn from her blunders, and is trying her best to not repeat them, reported People magazine.

"Everybody has seen that I make mistakes. 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," she said.

Lopez is busy raising her six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, and does her best to keep things stable for them despite her split from their father Marc Anthony.

"It's tough because I know they feel the void of that male presence.

"When Marc and I first broke up, I did think: 'I wish I could have held this together.' But when you realise it's not the right thing for anybody, you think: 'OK, well how do we make this work, how do we make this better, how do we make this great for the children anyway?'," she added.
