JENNIFER Lopez said she no longer craves the limelight now she is pregnant - and branded the celebrity lifestyle "destructive". In a new interview, she also said she was surprised anybody didn't know the family news by the time she finally announced it.
"We're just getting used to the fact that we've told everybody. I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway," she laughed. "I was on tour with a bubble gut!"
The singer and actress said she wants to enjoy the new period of her life in privacy, away from the exposure her glamorous exploits usually land her.
"I'm just feeling too protective to open that door right now," Jennifer told US Harper's Bazaar magazine, referring to her pregnancy.
"It's a Pandora's box. It's a destructive lifestyle to be out there. I know because I've lived it.
"Being on the cover of the tabloids every day for two years - it's hard. You start forgetting who you really are inside."
She added: "I do realize people want to know because they're interested, but this is the first time I'm going through this.
"This is my experience and my husband's experience, and we get to hold that for a little while."
The 37-year-old said husband Marc Anthony has influenced her view of celebrity.
She said: "Marc is a really private person, and he's been singing onstage since he was really young. "He made me realize you can be an artist, and have credibility and success, without your life being on public display 24 hours a day."
Jennifer said they have no desire to subject their offspring to the paparazzi gauntlet anytime soon.
"[Our baby] will be whatever we are," Jennifer said. "Private when it comes to that stuff."
