Jennifer Lopez regrets not listening to mum

Jennifer Lopez has admitted that she wouldn't have two failed marriages if she had listened to her mother.

The singer and actress was told by her mother, Guadalupe, that she should become friends with a man before allowing romance to blossom.

"She said, 'Be friends first and then you can see whether you want to spend the rest of your life together," Femalefirst.co.uk quote Lopez as saying. "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."
