According to Gossip Cop on Thursday, Lopez dishes the dirt on her past relationships, which included her ex-husbands Ojani Noa and Cris Judd and her ex-boyfriend, back up dancer Casper Smart.

She wrote in her book, "Anybody looking from the outside in would have thought my life was great. I had a husband and two beautiful children. I was on 'American Idol' and my new single 'On the Floor' had gone to number one all over the world." She added, however, "What people didn't know was that life really wasn't that good. My relationship was falling apart and I was terrified."

She explained, "It was one of those moments when you're so scared you can't even scream. In a blur of fear and panic, I looked at [manager] Benny Medina and my mother and blurted out the words: 'I don't think I can be with Marc anymore.' Then I burst into tears."

Lopez and Anthony announced their separation during the summer of 2011 after almost seven years of marriage. The ex-couple have two children, 6-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
