When it comes to men, Jennifer Lopez is extremely choosy. The 44-year-old sexy Latin diva is returning to American Idol after a one year break and the year has been very exciting for the "Waiting for Tonight" singer. Lopez has been going steady with her 26-year-old toy boy Casper Smart for quite some time now but the singer is still not sure if she wants to marry the man or not!

"I don't know. We'll see. I don't know," this was the Latina's reply when she was asked if she and Casper will tie a knot sometime in future. If they do, this is will fourth marriage for Jennifer and she still believes in the institution.

"You know, I've always believed in that institution. I believe in it, but it is difficult. I've had my challenges, but at the same time I believe in love, and I think that is the main thing," said Lopez, according to People Magazine.

"I'm one of those people who does not like to be alone. I have no shame saying that at this point in my life. I think we have to own who we are," added Lopez. The mother to twins Emme and Max, both 5, says she had an eventful year after leaving American Idol. But the diva is now going to be back on the 13th season of the reality show.

"That was such a transformative year for me in so many ways," said Lopez during the press conference of the premiere on Monday. "I had just divorced, I went on tour with the kids, and I left Idol. All my security blankets were gone, and I was out there doing something I had never done before."

But Lopez embarked upon world tour and said she learned a lot as an "artist." In the process it was her family and boyfriend who supported her.

"I was surrounded by love and family," said Lopez. "I really grew. My goal was not to come out the other side and just survive it but grow as a human being as well as an artist, and I felt I did. I learned a lot."
