Jennifer Lopez likes 'good guys'.

The three-times married singer-and-actress - who is dating 25-year-old dancer Casper Smart - insists she will never stop believing in love and only ever dates men who will treat her well.

She said: 'The most important quality the man in my life should have is that he is sweet. I like the good guys... The hard part is that you never stop believing in love. You never stop. But that's also the best part. You never stop believing, and you never, ever give up.'

Jennifer - who is in the process of divorcing Marc Anthony, the father of her four-year-old twins Max and Emme - admits she feels 'pressure' as a parent but despite her career successes, she knows her kids are the most important things in her life.

She told the new issue of America's InStyle magazine: 'Of course, I'm the same as any parent. I feel the pressures of wanting to be a great parent and of wanting to do right by my children. I feel the pressure of knowing you can't be perfect even though you want to be. One thing I've learned: Being a mom, or a dad, is the most important job there is. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to embrace it for everything that it is.'

And despite the upheaval in her personal life, Jennifer knows she has nothing to be afraid of as she will always be able to survive tough situations.

She said: 'I live by the mantra that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle. It's not until something bad or difficult happens that you really get to grow. And then you realise that those difficult moments, the times when you feel pain, are when you do a lot of your growing. You realise, There's no reason to be terrified of things. Either way I'm going to be OK.'
