Superstar Jennifer Lopez has revealed that being a mother to her two children now that she's single is a completely different experience and she's learning on the job. 

Speaking to Britain's Hello! magazine recently, the beauty opened up about how she parents her two children, Max and Emme, and confessed that helping them understand that they're loved despite the fact that their father, JLo's ex-husband Marc Anthony, no longer lives with them is so important: "I tell them, 'My daddy isn't here either, but I know he loves me.'"

"I try to paint for them as beautiful a picture of life as I can and to let them know they are loved. At the end of the day, they feel it or don't feel it. They know that there is no question that their mom loves them. I have two very healthy, happy kids, thank God."

The 'Booty' songstress went onto add that being a single mother is 'tough', but life isn't always straightforward and simple so she's taking things one step at a time and is doing the best she can for her adorable kids:

"I think every single mom knows that there are beautiful things about [being a mom] but that at the same time it's tough. It takes two people to make a baby and I believe it also should take two people to raise a baby. But if you're single that's not always the case. You are left with doing a lot of the heavy lifting on your own, and that's a challenge."
