“It was actually a really tough time,” she continued. “I was really about to give up on it all. I mean, I was a single mom with two 3-year-old twins and I called up one of my mentors. Her name was Louise Hay. Some of you might know who she was. She passed away.”
In Jennifer‘s time of need, the renowned self-help author knew exactly what the entertainer needed.
“She said to me, ‘Jennifer, you’re a dancer, right?’” the Kiss of the Spider Woman actress recalled. “I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ And she said, ‘When you’re learning a dance, and you get the steps wrong, what do you do?’ I said, ‘I just keep going until I get the steps right.’ And she said, ‘That’s right, Jennifer. Always keep dancing.’”
Jennifer then encouraged the audience to live by that motto.
“And I wish the same for every last one of you,” she said, “that no matter what life throws at you, that you dance, and you dance, and you dance—again, and again, and again. I love you so much!”
Before Marc, Jennifer was married to first husband Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998 then to Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003. Then in 2022, she married Ben Affleck, and they settled their divorce in 2025.
