Despite having moved on since her split - JLo is dating her 25-year-old back up dancer Beau 'Casper' Smart - the 43-year-old said having her two twins, Max and Emme, ask questions about the divorce continues to make it difficult.
'I actually just wrote a song about it and just recorded it funnily enough, because I wanted to explain to them without out explaining it to them. It is a beautiful song.
'But there something inside of me that was struggling with that part of things.'

When asked what she says to the almost five-year-olds the singer said: 'I feel like God gives me the words every time because every time they do it I get a rush of panic through my body and I'm like ''Oh my god, what do I say?''

'Again it is learning process, like with Marc, and I said maybe we should do some things together.'
'It was kind of perfect to be honest, because I was very in touch with all the emotions,' Jennifer said.

'I play a character who is really literally at the worst point of her life. She's divorced, she's pushing forty and her work isn't doing well and she is living with her mum.
'So she's at the worst point of her life and at that moment when I was doing the movie, I felt the same way.

'It was the worst time of my life going through the divorce with the kids, so it was kind of a blessing - as these can be sometimes - to be able to use all those emotions and all those feelings and put them somewhere.

'As when you have kids and you have to get up every day - and it's hard to get up when you feel that bad - and you have to hide it all day at work and hide in front of the kids.
