Jennifer Lopez has admitted that she was left "depressed" after splitting from her husband last year.

The singer filed for divorce from Marc Anthony in April following a seven year marriage.

Speaking to the Mirror, Lopez said that the breakup was like an "explosion" in her life, leaving everything in pieces. She said:

"It was very hard to get up in the morning. Very hard. When you're depressed and sad all the time it's very difficult. I felt like my whole life had fallen apart. What I had known for seven or eight years with my children and everything, it was just...boom! An explosion!"

The singer, who is now in a relationship with dancer Casper Smart, added that she is currently feeling good as she gets her life back on track. Lopez said:

"I feel very good...very youthful and kind of timeless in a sense. I don't think of myself as getting older - I just think of how I feel. I just toured the world and was dancing and singing every single night and I didn't feel I was any less than I was when I was 28. In fact I probably feel better now than I did then!"
