Jennifer Lopez gives rare shout out to Ben Affleck during emotional MTV Awards speech
"Thank you to the people who gave me this life, the people who gave me joy, and the ones who broke my heart," she continued, adding: "The ones who were true and the ones who lied to me. Thank you to disappointment and failure for teaching me to be strong, and to my children for teaching me to love."To cheers from the audience at Santa Monica's Barker Hangar, she shared: "I want to thank all the people who told me to my face and behind my back I couldn't do this - I really don't think I could have done this without you."Jennifer also gave a shout out to her manager Benny Bedina for "believing in me from the beginning" before apologizing for being "so emotional"."It is an honor to be able to connect with audiences and you guys, and because of you I will continue to do justice to that honor as long as I am around.
