The crooner also said that getting back with the Oscar-winning Affleck was like a ‘plot twist’ which she shares in her new movie.

‘This is not a fairy tale…this is a real tale,’ said the former Fly Girl.

Jennifer also said she thinks she has really ‘grown as an artist and a person.’

Jennifer Lopez sat down with Kelly Clarkson on her talk show on Monday morning

The 54-year-old Bronx-born diva was chatting up her new movie, documentary and album, all titled This Is Me… Now

And in doing so she revealed a new tidbit: before she got back together with Ben – her former fiancé from 20 years ago – she worried she would end up alone

Lopez then broke down the lyrics to her new songs – one is titled Can’t Get Enough.

And the Latin looker bonded with Kelly over their ‘yin-yang’ outlook on relationships.

Kelly said that she has a fear of being in a relationship because she loses herself but Jennifer has a fear of being alone.

‘We maybe have the same issues but we went in separate ways,’ said Kelly.

Clarkson then admitted she ‘caters’ to men.

Lopez said, ‘I don’t know if it’s because I was a middle child or because we had one bed, and we shared a bed with my sisters so I was used to having bodies around,’ she laughed.

‘I got very comforted by that and I liked that feeling,’ said Jennifer.

The star then said she had to learn how to be alone and to be ‘my own best friend.’

She added, ‘I am much better at it now and it took a lot of work, it takes a lot of work to change anything about yourself and the patterns – that is what the movie is about, changing patterns.’

Also, in celebration of Lopez’s new album This Is Me…Now, Jennifer took on Kelly in an ultra-competitive game of “Throw Me A Line!

And as a nod to her guest, Clarkson and My Band Y’all performed Lopez’s hit song Let’s Get Loud during Kellyoke.

This comes after Jennifer thanked fans for taking to her new project.

She appeared on Instagram in a new video, expressing gratitude to her followers for supporting her latest endeavors.

‘I just had to come on and say how much I love you guys and thank you,’ she began. ‘The day is finally here, I know you waited a long time.’

Before signing off, she added: ‘We’re going on tour, we’re doing this thing, it’s gonna be all summer, all of us, together.’

The clip comes after Jennifer teased that the This is Me… Now Tour, a 34-date string of North American arena concerts set for this summer, could be her ‘one last hurrah’.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the songstress talked about what to expect in the tour, which kicks off June 26 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida.

The actress stated that her goal when performing has always been to provide her fans with an exciting and electrifying show.

‘That’s my goal when people come to my show,’ she said. ‘I always want people to leave and be like, “That’s the best show I ever saw!” One last hurrah!’

Regarding her albums, she mentioned that she wasn’t contemplating creating a ‘Now’ when she recorded and released ‘Then’.

Looking back, though, she expressed a sense of destiny, describing it as ‘meant to be,’ as both albums are dedicated to her husband, Ben.

‘Sometimes you have these moments in life where you feel like, “Oh, this was meant to be somehow”,’ she said. ‘And I didn’t know that when it was happening then — when I decided to call it This Is Me… Then.’

‘I didn’t even realize it was capturing a moment in time where I fell in love for the first time in that way and wrote this whole album,’ she continued.

‘And it was very that thing, and I was like, “Oh, I’ll call it This Is Me… Then.” And then, you know, as fate would have it — 20 years later — here we are,’ she said, referring to her romantic reunion with Affleck.
