Sitting down for lunch, Jennifer, who's new movie Parker hits theaters today, said it took her a long time to accept herself for everything. "Not just the parts people thought were good," she explained.

"I am this person," the 43-year-old star continued. "I am a romantic. I love love. And what's wrong with all that?"

Though she wasn't interested in chatting about her sex life ("That's too personal"), Jennifer did talk about her mom's initial opinion of her new boyfriend, Casper Smart, who is 18-years her junior.

"When she found out we were seeing each other she said, 'what are you doing?'" Jennifer said.

After her mom, Lupe, saw them on tour together –Casper is JLo's choreographer – she began to understand what the attraction was and okayed the relationship.
