Jennifer Lopez discussed a topic that many people would normally like to keep to themselves.
She’s certainly not the only person in the world who has had children from two different partners, but most people wouldn’t speculate on who is the better parent.
The 53-year-old actress is currently giving a lot of interviews as she looks to promote her latest Netflix movie, which is titled The Mother.
Although much of the Q&A focused on the production, little space was left for her to talk about her personal life, which many people found very interesting.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reconciled with a public kiss at the premiere of The Mother
In one of these interviews, she talks about whether her current husband Ben Affleck is a better father than her ex-partner Mark Anthony.
She has often been very quick to point out that her children have taken to Affleck very quickly and he takes his role in their lives incredibly seriously.
This means that what follows does not bode well Anthony.
Anthony is the father of Lopez’s twins, but in an interview with The View, she said, “Honestly, he’s the best father I’ve ever seen,” implying that he’s better at spending time with her twins than Anthony was or is.
The tasks of motherhood
In the same interview with The View, Lopez talked about how her own mother used to explain to her that she always had to be the bad cop and enforce discipline.
“I remember my mom telling me, ‘I’m always the bad one, I have to discipline you.’ Lopez Guadalupe Rodriguez said of her mother.
“And there’s some truth to that. You get a little bit of the burden.”
