I am so excited for my girl Jennifer Lopez! Jennifer covers the debut issue of Glam Belleza Latina, a new magazine under Glamour that celebrates Latina beauty and culture. Fresh off her world tour, the stunningly beautiful 43-year-old singer and mom sat down with editor Veronica Chambers for a heart to heart, dishing on everything from the importance of having great girlfriends to why Latin beauty “is for everybody.” Check out some of the highlights from her interview (plus the amazing cover shot) below!
Jennifer Lopez Covers Glam Belleza Latina Debut Issue
- On what makes you more interesting:“People praise me for being physically pretty. You can think, That’s who I am. But who you really are is all the messy, complex stuff. That makes you more interesting.”
- On Latin beauty: “Latin beauty is the rainbow. We have black, we have white, we have caramel. We have blonds, we have blue eyes, we have brown eyes, we have the darkest of the dark skin. Latin beauty is for everybody.”
- On the importance of girlfriends in her life: “Oh my God, my girlfriends are everything to me. They celebrate with you, they cry with you, they hold you when you need to be held. They laugh with you. They’re mean with you! They’re just always there, and it’s just a priceless thing to have.”
- Does love make you beautiful? “Absolutely. But I don’t think it’s the love of somebody else. It’s learning to love yourself, like Whitney Houston sang. That really is the greatest love of all. We beat ourselves up so bad, [saying] ‘I messed up. I made the wrong choice. I started embracing that I do make mistakes. I’m a human being. I’m supposed to be flawed. I’m perfect in my imperfections.”
Glam Belleza Latina is available on select newsstands in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami starting tomorrow, March 5. Visit Glam Belleza Latina online at glamlatina.com, on Twitter at @GlamLatinaMag, and on Facebook at facebook.com/glamlatina.
