Jennifer Lopez has vowed not to discuss her love life for the sake of her children.

The star announced she was splitting from husband Marc Anthony earlier this year. Jennifer has recently been romantically linked to Hollywood hunk Bradley Cooper, but is staying silent admit the speculation. The 42-year-old wants to protect three-year-old Max and Emme from the spotlight.

'As a mom, and having children, right now they're my first priority,' she told ET. 'And because of them, I wouldn't ever comment on anything until I'm in a serious relationship again.

't would just be confusing for them and it would be unfair. And so at the end of the day, it's about them.'

Jennifer and Bradley were spotted having dinner in New York City last month. Over the weekend Bradley was photographed driving a car while Jennifer sat in the passenger seat attempting to cover her face.

It has been reported the pair are enjoying a 'casual' romance and don't want to rush into anything.

Jennifer currently has a hectic schedule juggling motherhood and her career.

As well as enjoying success with her latest album and reprising her role as a judge on American Idol, the star is also promoting the new clothing and linens from the Jennifer Lopez collection.

The beauty knows it is important to have a healthy work and personal life balance, so always makes sure she gets a good night's rest.

"I make time to sleep. I think it's very, very important,' she added. 'You know, because I have the twins and because I work a lot, it's very, very important thing to take care of myself. You know so I can be good for them first, and also be good for all the things that I'm doing."
