J.Lo's Manager: Why Her Relationships Don't Work

Benny Medina weighs in on Jennifer Lopez's love life

(Newser) – The juiciest quotes in Vogue's new Jennifer Lopez profile come not from Lopez herself, but from her longtime manager, business partner, and godfather of her twins, Benny Medina. "The thing that I always sort of wished is that she would give herself time to just naturally meet someone, instead of having nearly obsessive guys pursue her," says Medina, who considers Lopez a serial monogamist. "The ease with which that obsession becomes a relationship I think sometimes works against her ability to have a real meaningful relationship."

Medina adds that Lopez, who is now dating her much-younger backup dancer Casper Smart, is "not oblivious to her own reality right now, as in, Damn, I’m 42 with a 24-year-old. Why? We talked about it yesterday. She was just like, 'It’s not even the age, Benny. It’s actually that I just came out of a relationship where I felt like I was kind of not getting what I needed. And I’m open! So somebody who steps in right now and is actually touching me in a way—it’s very fertile ground!'"

Wouldn't have anything to do with being a self centered diva who wants everyone to worship her would it?

Jennifer, give me a shot. I am a nice, single guy who wouldn't mind leaving the spotlight to you!

Didn't I see a study lately that put dancers/choreographers as most likely to get a divorce?
