Jennifer Lopez opened up about her relationship with Alex Rodriguez and admitted she’s glad she didn’t meet him earlier in life because she “wasn’t ready for the healthiest things.”

“[Alex Rodriguez] has said it was too crazy, and I didn’t know him back then, so I am going to take his word for it. And I needed to bounce around a little bit and figure myself out,” the 49-year-old singer/actress shared when asked about her relationship with the retired All-Star baseball player during an interview Tuesday for Grazia magazine, per Marie Claire(RELATED: 25 Times Jennifer Lopez Proved She Doesn’t Age [SLIDESHOW])

“I wasn’t ready for the healthiest things, because I needed to figure out how to be healthy first – how to have self-worth, value, deal with my insecurities,” she explained, following three marriages.

The “Maid In Manhattan” star recently made headlines following her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” where she answered whether marriage was in the plans between the popular couple.

As previously reported, it happened when the host asked the singer point-blank if they were getting hitched soon.

“So, your boyfriend … he said that y’all are going to be getting married,” DeGeneres said.

Her reaction said it all.

“He did not say that,” the “Shades of Blue” star exclaimed. “He did not say that.”

The host then persisted, “He did. He texted me today and said … he texted me earlier today and he said …”

In response, the “Jenny From The Block” hitmaker just started laughing hysterically and asked for the host to hand over her phone so she could see the so-called text.

When pressed further by the host if they “will be getting married,” Lopez didn’t seem to know what to say and finally replied, “I don’t know.”

“But I mean you should because you seem very happy,” DeGeneres added.

“We are very happy,” the “Feel The Light” singer replied. “We’ve been together a couple years. It’s nice.”

“The Back-Up Plan” star and retired New York Yankees player first sparked rumors that they were dating in 2017. Later, Rodriguez gushed about Lopez, confirming they were an item during his appearance on “The View” that same year.

“We’ve been having a great time,” Rodriguez said when asked about the dating rumors. “We are having a great time. She’s an amazing, amazing girl.”

“One of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met and also an incredible mother,” he added. “She just likes simple things. She’s a very, very simple person. Loves family, she’s a great sister, a great daughter.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
