Now, in a preview of her upcoming interview on Nightline that aired Wednesday, March 11, on Good Morning America, the actress reflected on her life without a man.

“I’m in my happy era,” Lopez began.

She added, “I think, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free; I’m on my own. And it feels really good.”

“I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s — and even before that. I’ve always had boyfriends. There was always someone in my life, and so many things that I felt like were out of my control,” she continued.

Despite being single, Jennifer Lopez admitted that she has been focused inwards and has been finding an unshakable self-worth.

“I’ve gotten to the point where I really trust myself and appreciate myself a little bit more, instead of being so hard on myself and always trying to prove myself,” she concluded.
