When Jennifer Lopez Felt Like Angelina Jolie

JLo says being with Marc Anthony's children gave her a sense of what life must have been like for Angelina Jolie

Highlights

  • Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez says when she was married to singer Marc Anthony she felt like actress Angelina Jolie.
  • JLo, who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme, with her ex-husband, loved spending time with his other children, Ariana, 20, Cristian, 13, and Ryan, 10, from previous relationships because it gave her a sense of what life must be like for Jolie, who has three adopted and three biological children with fiance Brad Pitt, reports FemaleFirst.co.uk.
  • "When I was married to Marc, he had two boys, a girl and a stepson so there were four children - (with the twins) there were six. When we went out, it was like Angelina and Brad. We had that flavour and I loved it," JLo was quoted by New York City radio station Sirius XM as saying.
  • JLo, who previously admitted she is a strict mother, is teaching her children to be charitable because she doesn't want them to grow up spoilt.
  • "They're growing up so differently than me. I grew up in the Bronx - we shared a bed until we were 16 and it was so different. (Emme) and (Max) have their own rooms; we live in a big house. When we go to grandma's house, they're like, 'Grandma's house is small.'
  • "It occurs to them that this is different, so my whole thing is about teaching them to be aware of the world and realising that we are in a position now that we can help other people."
  • "I'm like, 'You realise that you don't just throw food out - we eat food and if we don't want it, we don't ask for it.' I'm always trying to put that in their minds. We're in a different position and we have to be more giving," she said.
  • Marc Anthony and JLo got married in 2004 and recently reached a divorce settlement almost three years after they announced their split.
