The Hollywood actress who hasn’t had a boyfriend since she was dumped by singer John Mayer earlier this year is happy spending time on her own because she has a great relationship with herself.
She said: I don’t think you can plan or control love. I think you have to just be willing to take what comes and however it comes, you know? I have a really great relationship with myself and that’s a lifelong process. I have a great job, a great family and great friends. I have my health and I love what I do.
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress has confessed she didn’t warm to her character in new movie Love Happens.
Jennifer, who plays unlucky-in-love florist Eloise in the film opposite Aaron Eckhart’s widowed character, asked for the script to be rewritten so the story had a happy ending.
She explained to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: Love Happens is not your typical love story. It’s about two people who are embarking on a scary new beginning. Eloise is content with the choices she has made, but when she meets the self-help guru she sees an opportunity to fix something.
There wasn’t a lot of depth to Eloise and you didn’t root for her. But it’s a beautiful idea that these two characters are out there fixing up other people but not really doing it for themselves. So the script was changed and it got to a really nice place eventually.
