But Jennifer Lopez is unafraid. And we admire her for that.

In case you didn’t know, J’lo, 49, recently got engaged to her boyfriend of 1 year – former Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez. He popped the question during their baecation in the Bahamas. They both made the announcement on Instagram.

Alex posted this photo along with caption: Locking it down. 💙 #FutureMrsRodriguez

On her own page, J.Lo posted a series of photos with caption: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

As expected, the Internet was in a frenzy following the news. Not just becuase they are such a cute couple and we’re all collectively rooting for them, but also because this will be J-lo’s  third marriage and fifth engagement in a lifetime and still, she is not ready to give up on love. She is one brave woman!

J.lo’s personal life has always attracted widespread media attention. From February 22, 1997, to January 1998, she was married to Cuban waiter, Ojani Noa. In 1999, while working on her first album, On the 6, J.lo began dating record producer and rapper Sean Combs a.k.a Diddy. After their breakup, she got into a relationship with former back-up dancer Cris Judd, to whom she was married from September 29, 2001, to June 2002. Following her second divorce due to irreconcilable differences, she commenced a high-profile relationship with actor and director Ben Affleck, to whom she became engaged in November 2002.

Following her break-up with Affleck in January 2004, Lopez began dating her longtime friend and singer, Marc Anthony (real name: Marco Antonio Muñiz). The couple got married in June 2004 and had their twins in February 2008. Three years later in July 2011, the couple announced their split, with Anthony filing for divorce in April 2012. From October 2011 to August 2016, Lopez had an off-on relationship with her former backup dancer Casper Smart.

In February 2017, she began dating her current fiance, former New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez.

Whilst most people would say staying married is an accomplishment, I personally would say that being in love and not seeking anyone’s validation is the greatest thing. In J’lo’s case, she’s not afraid to let love win over and over again.

In this case, I guess it’s safe to say the fourth time is a charm. J’lo is the modern day Elizabeth Taylor and I love it. Congratulations to them both!

J.Lo’s life gives us hope that no matter how many times love slips through our fingers, if we have an open heart, our happily ever after could just be around the corner too.

Maroon 5 have just released a new single entitled: Girls Like You and it features all our female power-house faves from Jennifer Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, Mary J Blige, Camila Cabello, Gal Gadot, Ellen Degeneres and so many others. We can’t help but recognise how the message behind the video seems to be so in tow with the celebration of women from all fields, as it also seems as though the women selected are all iconic in their own right, including names that might not be prevalent on the red carpet such as: Tech entrepreneur and author, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh; activist and writer, Angy Rivera; as well as Politician, Ilhan Omar. It is such a beautiful thing that women all over the world are gaining recognition and are being celebrated for their vast accomplishments.

Maroon 5 lead singer, Adam Levine, who is also TV co-host on the hit music competition, The Voice, can be seen in the video singing with a microphone in hand, while the ladies dance and mouth the lyrics as they appear in several rotations behind him.

Rapper and mama-to-be, Cardi B, also features as she does a rap number on the track (can we give it up to this woman for being so hardworking though?). The music video then ends with an emotional moment, as Levine’s South African model wife, Behati Prinsloo, holds their baby as he embraces her.

We love a beautiful tune with an empowering message behind it.

I can’t seem to get over women taking over the world!
