JENNIFER LOPEZ - LOPEZ SHUNS MOTHER'S LOVE ADVICE

JENNIFER LOPEZ regrets not taking onboard her mother's relationship advice, because it would have saved her from two failed marriages.

Lopez's mum GUADALUPE urged her daughter to allow her friendships with men time to blossom before settling into romance - wise words the JENNY FROM THE BLOCK beauty chose to ignore.

However, Lopez - currently married to third husband MARC ANTHONY - confesses her mother's life lesson disappeared from memory when Hollywood started corrupting her mind.

She recalls, "She said, 'Be friends first and then you can see whether you want to spend the rest of your life together.' But how many girls listen to everything their mother says?

"I should've taken more notice, but I lost my way a little. This business takes over and you don't think straight."
