The 43-year-old star said she is proud of how she and her ex, who she married in 2004, are handling their co-parenting duties.

She told Katie Couric on the 'Katie' show: 'We're doing good with it. We love our kids and we have love for each other and we always will. We were friends from before and we're friends now.'

Jennifer is currently dating choreographer Casper Smart, has been walked down the aisle three times.

She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998 and back-up dancer Cris Judd from 2001-2003.

The performer confessed she still hasn't given up on the idea of finding the man she will be with forever.

She continued: 'I believe in love. I believe in marriage. I'm just trying to get it right, like everybody else.'
