JLo on Hollywood Walk of Fame honour: 'I cried 15,000 times'

On June 20, Jennifer Lopez became the 2,500th recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and she revealed that the experience was incredibly overwhelming.

The 'On The Floor' superstar told press that she fought back tears during the prestigious ceremony and still can't believe she has been honoured in such an iconic way:

"I cried like almost 15 thousand times. It was so crazy. But I kept promising everybody I wasn't going to cry and they were like, 'Cry!' 'You're not helping!' But it was an amazing moment."

"You realize you've been at this for a long time and you've been fighting and getting it. It's a real kind of landmark day for me and I am just glad my family was here to share it with me. For a romantic like me, it's forever and I believe in that. I believe in forever. It's a good day,"

When asked what her children, twins Max and Emme, thought of the amazing news, JLo joked: "I just told them, 'Mommy is getting a star today.' They don't really know what that means but they were great."
