Jennifer Lopez insists she still "believes in love" despite becoming single again.

The singer had been dating dancer Casper Smart for two and a half years, but their relationship recently came to an end.

Speaking to Elle, Lopez - who has divorced three times - said that she still thinks the right man is out there for her.

She said: "'I still believe in love. The nirvana man, he's out there somewhere. But you just have to work at it. You have to work at everything."

Lopez added: "Everybody has seen that I make mistakes. I rush in, I get swept up and I ignore the signs. But so many of us are guilty of these things.

"Each time it goes wrong, it's hard. I get really hurt but I have to let myself go, 'What did I do? What can I learn?'. And as hard and as hurtful as things get, I want to believe I will be able to go one step higher. I've got to hope that if I keep going I will eventually get it right."

The singer's last marriage, which was with Marc Anthony, effectively ended in 2011 when the pair went their separate ways.
