Jennifer Lopez Admits She Doesn't Like To Be Alone, Is Unsure About Marrying Casper Smart

Jennifer Lopez doesn't know whether she will get hitched to dancer beau Casper Smart any time soon, but that won't stop her from gushing about the 26-year-old.

Speaking on the American Idol panel during the Winter TCA press tour, 44-year-old Jenny from the block opened up about her nine-year-old twins Max and Emme, divorce, and her relationship with Casper.

The On The Floor singer revealed that her "kids come first" and admitted she has a "great team" of people who help her. Part of that team is her boyfriend of two years who is also 18 years her junior. Jen gushed when asked if her beau is a good father figure. "Fantastic," she said. "I don't like the word father figure, but he's fantastic with the kids and he helps me very much with my work."

Jen also recalls her rough year in 2011 following her divorce from Marc Anthony, which happened at the same time that she was embarking on a world tour.

"That was such a transformative year for me in so many ways," she told reporters. "I had just divorced, I went on tour with the kids, and I left Idol. All my security blankets were gone, and I was out there doing something I had never done before.

"I was surrounded by love and family."

The Latino star has also come to terms with the fact that she doesn't like to be alone. "I'm one of those people who does not like to be alone," she said. "I have no shame saying that at this point in my life. I think we have to own who we are."

But when asked about walking down the aisle for the fourth time, she responded, "I don't know. We'll see. I don't know.

"You know, I've always believed in that institution. I believe in it, but it is difficult. I've had my challenges, but at the same time I believe in love, and I think that is the main thing."
