Jennifer Lopez is speaking out about her support for therapy and prioritizing mental health during the pandemic.
The singer explained why she and fiancé Alex Rodriguez sought counseling in a new interview with Allure magazine.
As it turned out, it was a result of quarantining.
"I miss being creative and running on 150. But Alex, of all people, was like, 'I love it. I love being at home. I love doing my Zooms. I love knowing the kids are there and you're there all the time,'" explained Lopez.

She went on, "We can’t just keep living our lives and thinking everything’s going to work itself out," she said. "No, it’s not going to work out. We have to get involved. We have to make changes."
Looking back at 2020 as a whole, the "Hustlers" star said she felt it was a "necessary" year because "what we realized is that we’re all in this together. This is about our kids growing up in a world where they feel comfortable, where things are equal, and there’s more kindness and love than hate and division."
