March 2018: J.Lo Talks Marriage

"I do believe in marriage, and I would love to grow old with somebody in a committed relationship," she tells Harper's Bazaar. "But I'm not forcing anything right now. It's good, it's healthy; we communicate well. We understand each other's lives in a way that most other people couldn't. We both entered the public eye in our early 20s and overachieved right from the start. And that affects every dynamic in your life, from your family to your work to your relationships. We have a similar makeup."
