‘I’m Jenny From The Block but I’ve also been round the block:’ J-Lo admits she’s weary of failed romances after Casper Smart split… but reveals David Gandy crush
She’s retained a dignified silence over her split with Casper Smart and allegations that he cheated on her with two transsexual models.
But Jennifer Lopez gave a hint of weary resignation over another lost love during an interview with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on their eponymous show on Tuesday.
The stunning 44-year-old quipped: ‘I’m Jenny from the Block, but I’ve also been round the block,’ after Strahan pressed her on the lyrics of new song, First Love.

‘We’ve all had our stuff’: Jennifer Lopez revealed she dreams of having met the love of her life at high school
As Strahan reiterated back to Jennifer, the song contains the lyrics: ‘I wish you were my first love
‘Cause if you were first, Baby there would have been no second, third or fourth love.’
Strahan wanted to know if the song was about anyone in particular, but J-Lo revealed that the lyrics were born of an abstract desire to meet someone she loves so much that she wished they’d met in high school.
Laying herself more open than usual, J-Lo said: ‘You’re looking for that thing when you go gosh, I wish I’d met you in high school.

The mother-of-two, who made no reference to alleged Instagram messages between Smart and Sofie Vissa being revealed by the transsexual on Tuesday, added: ‘We’ve all had our stuff, you just do the best you can.’
Lopez has been married twice, to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa for a year from 1997 and latin superstar Marc Anthony – the father of her children – from 2004 to 2011.
She was also famously engaged to actor Ben Affleck and dated Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at the height of his bad boy era in the late ’90s.

And though she was reluctant to be drawn on her celebrity crush she would admit that if she did have one, it would be British model David Gandy, 34, who she recently worked with.
The Luh Ya Papi star also talked about how she’ll be spending the whole of July – her birthday month – with twins Max and Emme, who turned six in February.
‘I don’t get to cook for them everyday,’ she told the hosting duo before adding, ‘I mean, I know a lot of moms don’t either,’ to avoid a Gwyneth gaffe.

Lopez also shared a funny story about receiving a text from her nanny’s phone that read: ‘When are you coming home, J-Lo?’
Shocked by the message, the singer responded with ‘huh?’ before the nanny fired back that the text was actually from her son, Max.
And despite having the world’s original famous derriere (sorry, Kim!) the singer claimed she had no idea what a ‘belfie’ is.
She never stops! Later in the day, J-Lo attended a private fashion show for her Kohl’s collection in Wisconsin

Ripa explained: ‘It’s a bum selfie, I thought you’d have a whole account,’ before giving Jennifer a demonstration.
The Bronx-beauty, who looked great in hot pink before changing into beige pants later, also talked about how her Papi video is a response to all the short films of rappers surrounded by scantily-clad women.
In her video, J-Lo is the rapper and the men are scattered about looking pretty.
Busy day! Later, J-Lo stepped out in another pink outfit as she went on to promote her new album in Beats By Dr. Dre Store in New York

‘I really, really liked the idea,’ she said.
The singer also made an appearance on Australia’s Channel Seven network on Wednesday, where she was interviewed on Sunrise.
The presenters David Koch and Samantha Armytage asked her how she thought she had changed over the years.
J-Lo responded: ‘I think I have grown up a little bit over the years. I think I am the same girl that I was, same kind on Jenny from The Block. That person, but at the same time I have grown a lot.
She added: ‘I like to think I have grown up I have got a little bit better with time in that way and i have got a little bit stronger, maybe.’
Armytage then asked what her secret was to looking so good: ‘I try to get a good nights sleep, I work hard, my kids keep me on my toes.’
That ship has sailed: Casper uploaded this shot of J-Lo’s new album AKA, to Instagram on Tuesday, and gushed about how good it is
