The 56-year-old entertainer reflected on her highly-publicized split from the Air director during an interview with Nightline's Juju Chang.

"I had to stop everything, and I took a year off," J.Lo began in the clip shared Wednesday.

She continued, "I canceled tours. I just decided to be home and sit in what had happened without running away from it through work, through another person, through anything, just sit."

The Waiting For Tonight hitmaker noted that her twins, Max and Emme (18), were also her priority at the time.

J.Lo added, "I was just at a point where I was like, 'What is going on with you?' Because I couldn't blame anybody else, because I don't think that that's where the lesson is, and so I really wanted to figure myself out."

Jennifer added, "And that was the scary thing for me when I was younger. Like, I didn't know if I could do that. I was always afraid to do that."
