Jennifer Lopez Reveals Surprising Insecurities As She Poses For Cosmopolitan Magazine

J-Lo has fessed up to being totally insecure about her singing voice in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine.

Jenny from the block spilled all to the mag and explained how ex-husband Marc Anthony helped her to gain confidence.

"The biggest insecurity I had was my singing... Even though I had sold 70 million records, there was this feeling like, I'm not good at this," she admitted while striking a pose in a tight leather corset.

"And while I was married to Marc, he helped me get over it. He kept telling me, 'You're the only one holding yourself back from reaching your full potential as a singer. You have to let go.'

"I was always so insecure. Then I grew, little by little, and realised, wait a minute, this is not a fluke. I'm not a mistake – I work my ass off. And I know what I'm doing."

Now radiating confidence, she said she wished more women were self-assured. "[Women] give away [their] power so much – even in love – with men. And it's always looked down on in the world for women to be powerful – they get labelled as difficult or bitchy."

She also has high standards when it comes to her 26-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart.

"For me, it's about having a great partner to walk this life with. I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I'm not talking about the material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship."

The full interview appears in the November issue of Cosmopolitan, on sale 3rd October on newsstands and digitally. And remember Behind the scenes footage can be viewed at www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/jlo.
