Jennifer Lopez has blamed her failed relationships on her showbiz entourage.
The 45-year-old 'Booty' singer has admitted that having so many helpers in her home might have negatively affected her romantic relationships.
Speaking about her single status, Jennifer - who has previously been married three times - explained: "There's a lot of people in my life and that's hard. There's people in the house. There's hair and make up. It's a lot, I think, for someone to deal with.
"Forget about all the outside stuff, being judged, being under scrutiny in the relationship ... I guess that adds in ... but I think they would say that [the entourage] was a big part of their discomfort, if there was any."
Jennifer ended her seven-year long marriage with her third husband Marc Anthony in 2011, three years after giving birth to their now six-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian.
Explaining to New York Post's Page Six at the launch of her book 'True Love' on Thursday (06.11.14),how she struggled to break the news of their divorce to her children, Jennifer said: "You don't really say anything to a 3 year old, because they don't really understand anything is happening ... I remember like maybe after Marc wasn't in the house for about eight months, Max saying something because my dad came over.
"It was so painful ... I go, 'That's my daddy,' and he goes, 'My daddy left me.' I said 'No, baby, your daddy didn't leave you. You know how my daddy goes home? Your daddy goes home, too.' You're just scrambling at that point. What can you say to a 3 year old?"

Keira Knightley is "fine" with posing topless as long as her breasts aren't made to look bigger.
The 29-year-old 'Say When' actress has revealed that she is happy to take her top off for a photo shoot, as long as the images aren't enhanced in post-production.
Following her topless photo shoot for the September issue of Interview magazine - which was shot by the world renowned photographer Patrick Damarchelier - the brunette beauty shared: "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters.
"And that [shoot] was one of the ones where I said, 'OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch.' Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are."
Comparing people's bodies to a "battleground", Keira told The Times newspaper: "I think women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. It's much easier to take a picture of somebody without a shape; it simply is.
"Whereas actually you need tremendous skill to be able get a woman's shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape."

Sophia Loren was under pressure to have plastic surgery to fix her "long nose".
The 80-year-old 'Two Women' actress has revealed that movie executives would tell her to fix certain parts of her face to make her more attractive on film.
She shared: "I always tried not to listen to these people.
"They were saying that my nose was too long and my mouth was too big. It didn't hurt me at all because when I believe in something, it's like war. It's a battle."
Sophia even admitted that at the time her film producer husband Carlo Ponti - who passed away in January 2007 - also encouraged her to go under the knife.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she explained: [Carlo said,] 'You know the cameramen, they say that your nose is too long. Maybe you have to touch it a little bit.'
"And I said: 'Listen, I don't want to touch nothing on my face because I like my face. If I have to change my nose, I am going back to Pozzuoli [her home town in Italy].'
"At that time, they used to do noses like a French nose with a little tip at the end - they liked that. Can you imagine me with a nose like that?"

Jade Jagger "doesn't feel like" a grandmother.
The 43-year-old jewellery designer's eldest daughter, 22-year-old Assisi gave birth to a baby girl named Ezra in May but Jade - who had her third child, son Ray, just weeks after becoming a grandparent - doesn't feel any added responsibility.
She said: "It's great. It doesn't feel like being a grandmother. I guess it just feels like there's another child in the family."
Jade - who has another daughter, 18-year-old Amba - was thankful she and Assisi went through their pregnancies at the same time and are enjoying sharing experiences of caring for young babies.
She said: "It's definitely made us closer. It's been really nice to share those mundanities of life's difficulties as a parent, like getting up at the crack of dawn. Someone out there is going through the same experiences. She gets it and we just support each other."
Jade, who has Ray with her husband Adrian Fillary, admits she was more "nervous" about being a mother again than when she was expecting her daughters, whose father is her former partner Piers Jackson.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "Motherhood [this time] has been a great experience. I think it's the same as it was first time round, although I was a bit nervous."

Matthew McConaughey won't raise his children in Hollywood.
The 'Interstellar' actor has always planned for he and wife Camila Alves to bring Levi, six, Vida, four, and 22-month-old Livingston up in his home state of Texas, where they can be closer to their extended family.
He explained: "I never had anything against the idea of bringing my kids up in Hollywood. But on the other hand, I did and do want to base them in Texas.
"My mother lives about 25 minutes away so I get to see her, and the grandkids get to see her, every weekend instead of twice a year.
"I also have two brothers who live there, so we see family much more often than we used to and that's important to me, especially as everyone is getting older. My mother is 82."
The 44-year-old actor - who dramatically lost a lot of weight for his role in the Academy Award-winning film 'Dallas Buyers Club' - admitted that he loved indulging in Texan food at home.
He added to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Plus I like Texas, I like the space, I like the latitude, I like the people, I like the food, I like the common sense, I like the creativity. I just like it."
And the devoted dad admitted he "always" wanted to be a parent.
He said: "It's one of the things I've always wanted to be. Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. You know what's important."
