Jennifer Lopez has undoubtedly had one of the most prosperous pop music careers ever, but unfortunately she cannot translate this success into her personal life. The 45 year-old songstress has been married three times and been involved in a string of long-term relationships, but splitting with Ben Affleck was the first time she was left heartbroken.

Lopez reently opened up about her first ever heartbreak

Lopez opened up about her engagement to her 'Gigli' co-star in an interview with Maria Shriver, set to air on the Today show later this week, when discussing how quick she rebounded with ex-husband Marc Anthony after their split.

"Right away when you broke up with Ben Affleck, Marc Anthony was there, like, two days later, and you were in," said Shriver, referring to Lopez separating from Affleck in January 2004, and then marrying Anthony that following June.

"Right, you're absolutely right," Lopez said. "It was probably my first big heartbreak, and to have one of my best friends who I'd known for years, who I actually love and did have chemistry with, come into my life and say, 'I'm here'...What you need to know is, nobody can save you or heal you. Only you can do that for you."

Lopez divorced from Anthony in June and is now amicably co-parents to her twins Max and Emme with him.

Earlier this year the Grammy-winning artist also split from her boyfriend of two and a half years, Casper Smart, so now she is a single woman and is planning to keep it this way. "I'm open to love," she told Shriver, "but right now, I think it's better to just be on my own for a minute and learn more about myself."
